Roberto's Rio : Burle Marx and the Nature of Identity

Roberto Burle Marx and his eponymous landscape architecture firm worked in cities throughout Latin America and around the world. But it was in Rio de Janeiro, a city nestled imperfectly between steep forested hills and the Atlantic Ocean, where he would have the greatest impact. This limited edition book takes us to Burle Marx’s public gardens, parks and beachfront promenades in Rio, to understand how these modernist spaces shaped the city, its culture and its identity. 174 pages, col. ill. ; 26 cm.
