Roberto Burle Marx

Roberto's work fits very nicely with my current predicament as a designer regarding materiality in urban realm- as mentioned in recent posts. 

Exploring his work is just what I needed to embody being bold within my design and not strive for an mundane public plaza.

His designs are inspiring, the use of bold organic shapes at such a large scale are balanced out through the neutral and mute colours. It becomes less overwhelming and more appealing as a curious pattern. Personally, I really like the designs but I also can understand how it can be harsh on the eyes for some people, especially those with visual impairments the patterns can be confusing and not establish clear boundaries within the site. His work is dynamic in its composition whilst also connective with its metamorphic, organic shapes. I espeically like that it is actually incorporated in public realm.
