Roberto Burle Marx

 


Roberto Burle Marx creates large-scale plazas using brightly coloured paving; his work is quite bold and often surrounded by plants with the same brightly coloured property. I like his designs and find them inspiring, although I wonder if the use of the area is primarily for people just to walk through, which, if this is the case, would be a shame. Some of the designs may look better above than when going through the area, which may be why the planting is so bold in tackling the site's downfall. Overall I really like his designs due to their bold colour and bright planting.

Therefore I believe within the st aidens design the base of it will be a lily as they have 6-7 petals.

Final zoning Diagram

  I have created a functional diagram for the site, this will allow for me to create a more detailed masterplan. I have sectioned each area around a central point, which will be a meeting point for users. The site will have many nods to butterflies, which is my concept. The play areas will be really colourful and hopefully give some more character to the site.
