Features: This book introduces Brey Marcus, a Brazilian architect and landscape designer who is one of the most talented landscape designers of the century. His early studies in art and gardening laid a solid foundation for his later career. The emergence of modern gardens can be largely attributed to the influence of modern art, from which they drew rich formal language. Brey Marcus has fully explored the application of modern art in landscape design. From his design plans, it can be seen that his formal language is mostly derived from the surrealism of Miró and Appel, while also being influenced by cubism. As an excellent abstract painter, he believes that art is interconnected. As an excellent abstract painter, he believes that art is interconnected, and landscape design and painting are, from a certain perspective, merely different tools. He designs gardens with flowing, organic, and free forms, much like his painting style. Brey Marcus's gardens expand the form of ancient flowerbeds. His curvilinear flowerbeds resemble vibrant strokes painted on the ground by a moist brush. He uses flowerbeds to limit the growth range of large plants but never trims them, which is fundamentally different from the mowed flowerbeds of Baroque gardens. Brey Marcus created a style suited to the climatic characteristics and plant materials of Brazil, opening up new horizons in landscape design and echoing Brazil's modern architectural movement. The plan forms of Brey Marcus's gardens are strong, but his gardens are not merely two-dimensional or painterly; they are also composed of space, volume, and shape. His gardens also inherit Brazilian traditions, and he has infused new vitality into these traditional elements with the language of modern art.
