“Through his creative disorder, he put back some order all around Brazil, thanks to his gardens”. With an article published on Domus in 1953, we celebrate Roberto Burle Marx born today in 1909.

Tomorrow at NMNM – Nouveau Musée National de Monaco will be inaugurated the exhibition “Fausto Melotti”, devoted to a crucial period of the artist’s career in which Domus played a special role, as stated in the 1962 essay that we present anew here.
In celebration of the centenary of Lina Bo Bardi’s birth, we remind the Italio-Brazilian architect republishing one of her last articles for Domus written in 1944, a reasoning on the interior design for the home, with aesthetically attractive and economically, technically acceptable products.
