As Cantarias do Sítio Roberto Burle Marx / RJ

A study reveals the artistic and innovative use of stonework by Roberto Burle Marx, a renowned landscape architect and visual artist, at his former estate in Barra de Guaratiba, Rio de Janeiro. The research highlights how Burle Marx repurposed stones from colonial-era demolitions into modern aesthetic designs, blending geological materials with contemporary artistry. Through archival research, interviews with current estate staff, and metric and photographic surveys, the study provides a comprehensive overview of these cantarias (stonework structures), offering insights into both their artistic significance and potential for further geological analysis.
