Roberto Burle Marx, Landscape Architect

[@richarddrum9970]

Some time around my junior year in landscape architecture, I developed an appreciation for Roberto’s designs, especially his use of ground covers and smaller shrubs to create beautiful designs as seen from eye level and especially from taller buildings. Working in and around college campus structures I found that artful ground covers of different textures and colors created amazing views from upper stories not seen when merely planting large trees in that same space. He was a master LA.
