Showcasing a rich variety of stunning landscapes, The Modern Brazilian Garden explores the legacy of pioneering designers and the bold new voices shaping contemporary gardens both in Brazil and around the world. At its heart is the enduring influence of Roberto Burle Marx, whose visionary work transformed the language of landscape design.

Spanning from the twentieth century to the present day, Roberto Silva delves into the minds of designers to reveal their inspirations, design rationale, and process. Beautifully illustrated with striking photography and sketches, the book also demystifies the world of professional garden design, offering insight into different techniques including plant combinations and sustainable approaches. Featuring remarkable projects from Juliana Castro's evocative "Earth Tattoo" to Gilberto Elkis's bold "High Rise." The Modern Brazilian Garden presents some of the most exciting contemporary projects from the country.
