Summary:
Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1994) remains one of the most important landscape architects in the history of the field. His distinctive and widely acclaimed work has been featured and referenced in numerous sources, yet few of Burle Marx's own words have been published. This collection of a dozen of Burle Marx's lectures, most of which have never before been available in English, fills that void. Delivered on international speaking tours, they address topics such as Concepts in Landscape Composition, Gardens and Ecology, and The Problem of Garden Lighting. Their publi- cation sheds light on Burle Marx's distinctive ethic and aesthetic of landscape, as "the real art of living." The lectures paint a picture of Burle Marx not just as a gardener, artist, and botanist, but as a land- scape architect whose ambition was to bring radical change to cities and society. The lectures are framed by photographs, by Leonardo Finotti, of a selection of Burle Marx's realized projects.

Summary:
"Wild & the city" offers clues to read the current relationship between the Wild and the City from a critical perspective. On the one hand, this book explores the proactive value of wild landscapes to improve urban quality, in contemporary terms of beauty, health, and livability; on the other hand, it quesitons the risks of 'wild' as a buzzword that renews anti-urban positions or feeds practices and policies of consensual and cheap-plaudit 'greenery'. The aim is to account for the variety of readings raised by the urban wilderness, which continue to find their discriminating element in the restless relationship between city and nature.
