Depositions offers an understanding of Burle Marx beyond his gardens and parks; it is a solid introduction to both his work and Brazil's quest to establish its cultural identity. * Architectural Record * Depositions is a well-researched, well-written, and laudatory study that substantially adds to, and significantly amends, our view of Burle Marx as a landscape architect and cultural figure. * Landscape Journal * [Depositions] opens new perspectives on Burle Marx's work, revealing facets of his celebrated projects and legacy that too often go unspoken...This seminal book will enable greater understanding not only of Burle Max's position as a designer operating under dictatorial conditions but also of the convoluted circumstances underlying Brazil's modern architectural history. * Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians * [Depositions] sheds new light on Burle Marx's intellectual position and serves as a valuable map of the local sociopolitical context, in its complexities and contradictions since colonial times. * ABE Journal *
