Roberto Burle Marx Lectures

A collection of a dozen of Burle Marx’s lectures delivered on international speaking tours that address topics such as Concepts in Landscape Composition, Gardens and Ecology and The Problem of Garden Lighting. Their publication sheds light on Burle Marx’s distinctive ethic and aesthetic of landscape, as “the real art of living,” painting a picture of a landscape architect whose ambition was to bring radical change to cities and society. The lectures are framed by photographs of a selection of Burle Marx’s realized projects by Leonardo Finotti.
