Pastel Beach

copacabana photo

Found on the web. A photo of Copacabana beach, with its mosaic pavement, designed by Roberto Burle Marx. Wonderful washed out colour palette. Saw the photo and wanted to remember the designer of the wave pavement.

roberto_burle_marxHe  designed the whole promenade its four kilometres long and actually very wide, divided by a road and then further patterns before reaching the flats that line the beach. Roberto Burle Marx technique as a  designers was to make paintings for his plans for his landscape gardens. I wish I knew more about him as a painter, garden designer and architect.
