Landscape: Garden Research

Buckminster Fuller worked unstoppable during the 20th century, from his entrance in Harvard in 1913 until his death in 1983.
Ha-Has walls can be found in diverse grounds of grand country houses and states, such as at Yarra Bend Asylum in Australia, the Hameau de la Reine in Versailles, the Royal Artillery Barracks in London, and the Washington Monument.
Parco del Mostri are the gardens of Bomarzo, Italy that were created in the 16th century. My favorite sculptures or “monsters” are the Orcus mouth and the snake half woman.
The Roman Forum is a rectangular plaza, which was the center of public life in Roma. The most oldest Roman Forums were built in the 6th century. The one that I like the most it is located in Portico Dii Consentes.
Boboli Gardens were created between the 16th and 18th century in Italy. One of my favorite images is the one of the entrance from the courtyard of Pitti Palace.
The Jardin du Luxemburg was created in 1612 in Paris. My favorite image of it is the one of the Fountain of Medicis.
Tivoli Gardens were created in 1843 in Copenhagen, Denmark. My favorite image is the one that shows a small lake with boats and there is a Chinese architecture in the back.
The Bernini’s Four Rivers is a fountain that was designed in 1651 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in Roma, Italy. My favorite image of it is the one with the God Ganges in the front.
Jean Dubuffet’s Jardin d’Emaille was created in 1974 in France. My favorite picture is the of the inside of the garden.
The Stowe Gardens had several alterations, but were first accomplished in 1750 in England. I love the Gothic Temple.
The Stourhead Garden was created in 1725 in Wiltshire, England. The picture that I love the most was the one with the grass slopes.
Washington DC Park was created in 1867 in Washington DC. I love the Mary Mcleod Bethune Statue.
The Viscaya Museum was created by Paul Chalfin in 1914 in Coconut Grove, Miami. It was named after the Spain province, “Biscay”. It is in Miami because the owner due to health problems decided to move there.

The Fairchild Tropical Garden was created by Robert Montgomery in 1936 in Coral Gables, Miami. It is in Miami because its creator had as a dream to build a botanical garden in Miami. It was named after a good friend and great explorer Dr. Fairchild. My favorite image is the butterfly g
arden.
