The Casa Forte Square: a historic garden, a cultural heritage of Brazil

ABSTRACT Roberto Burle Marx created the Brazilian modern garden in Recife in the 1930s. He conceived the garden as an esthetic reintegration of the components of nature in which vegetation was the main element and, considering that, designed thirteen public gardens from 1935 to 1937, including Casa Forte Square, his first garden design. As the garden is perishable and renewable, according to The Florence Charter, due to all the physical and biological dynamics, the lack of conservation causes its degradation. Thus, this article presents the historiography of Casa Forte square to subsidize effective conservation actions.

摘要：罗伯托·布尔勒·马克思（Roberto Burle Marx）于20世纪30年代在巴西累西腓（Recife）打造了具有标志性意义的巴西现代园林。他将园林视作自然要素的美学整合，其中植被为核心构成元素；基于这一设计理念，他在1935年至1937年间完成了十三座公共园林的设计，其首个园林作品即为卡萨福特广场（Casa Forte Square）。根据《佛罗伦萨宪章》（The Florence Charter），由于园林兼具易逝性与可再生性，且受各类物理与生物动态变化影响，缺乏养护维护会导致其风貌退化。据此，本文对卡萨福特广场的历史沿革展开研究，以期为其有效的保护行动提供理论支撑。
