Between Art and Landscape: Roberto Burle Marx (1909-94)

Roberto Burle Marx was Brazil's most influential landscape artists and is internationally recognized as the "creator of the modern garden".
A painter, designer and self taught botanist, Burle Marx treated the landscape as a living work of art.

bastion square parkade

The Bastion Square Parkade has recently added a series of native plant profiles to each of its parking levels.

Each level contains a circular panel which includes an image with the latin and common name of the chosen plant species.


This is a great educational tool for the public but why stop at simple signage.....why not increase urban biodiversity, see below for a street level sketch of my green facade concept.
