THE BURLE MARX PARK - A GREEN SANCTUARY CREATED BY LEGENDARY BRAZILIAN LANDSCAPE ARCHITEST
The Burle Marx Park is considered a ‘green sanctuary in Brazil’s bustling metropolis,’ contributing to the improvement of air quality, noise reduction and wildlife preservation in São Paulo. Spanning an impressive 26 acres of lush greenery and clear lagoons, it is home to a vast array of tropical Atlantic plants and exotic bird species. Perhaps its most defining feature is not its wildlife, but rather the signature aesthetic imprinted by the late, great Roberto Burle Marx, the man whose name is synonymous with the art of landscape architecture.
THE HISTORY - REVIVING A ROMANTIC MONUMENT
A spectacular addition to São Paulo’s vibrant hotel scene, Palácio Tangará was built originally as Tangará Ranch in the late 1940’s by extraordinarily wealthy Brazilian Baby Pignatari, as a magnificently romantic gesture for his then-fiancée, princess Ira von Fürstenberg, with whom he was married for nearly three years.
Some of Brazil’s finest creative talents were commissioned for the project, including iconic architect Oscar Niemeyer, beside Roberto Burle Marx himself. Baby chose a peaceful place, amidst the tropically verdant nature, even then a fresh contrast to the fast-growing urban town of São Paulo. As the decade rolled into the fifties, São Paulo was emerging as a modern metropolis and Brazil was influencing the culture of the world with Bossa Nova’s smooth soothing sounds, abstract art at the first biennale outside Venice, and Oscar Niemeyer’s architecture. Meanwhile, Baby Pignatari’s marriage
died, along with the original plans for Tangará Ranch. The property remained untouched for several years until the 1990’s. The gardens however were preserved, and Burle Marx finished the project, which was incorporated into the formed public park. Nearly twenty years since the original Tangará project was abandoned, Oetker Hotels has completed the romantic monument as the group’s first foray into the Americas, and in the center of São Paulo’s thriving contemporary art scene, itself a microcosm of the exciting Brazilian art world.
