Isabela is herself an architect with a masters in urban design and today, has dedicated herself to keeping the legacy of Burle Marx alive. In his 60 years of work, Burle Marx designed many spectacular private gardens for clients and businesses but he preferred the public spaces. On her father’s death in 2017, left with a wealth of historical documents, plans and drawings from the studio of Burle Marx, Isabela realised she had an enormous responsibility: to preserve this legacy. So in 2018 was born the Instituto Burle Marx which today holds this precious collection of records of more than 2000 projects. The prospective collaboration between the institutions dedicated to keeping alive the legacy of these three visionaries is something that both Isabela and Shayari find most heartening.
