Ibirapuera

A paper is based on the presentation for Artificial Natures Symposium held by Ideal Spaces Working Group in Venice 2018. It describes an unimplemented project proposed by Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx (1909–1994) for Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo. Within the topic of the Symposium the paper focuses on those features of the project, which characterize Burle Marx as a prominent participant of the movement, aimed to create a new cultural space of Brasilidade. The project “Ibirapuera“ was to sum up Burle Marx’s achievements in creating landscapes both artificial and artistic, rich with links to the wild nature of Brazil, its native cultural substrate, the Latin European legacy.
