Rationale: Why is this case study interesting?
- The project shows how a natural and protected area that suffered the impact of an illegal occupation can be restored through the called “ecogenesis”.
According his friend and botanic Luiz Emygdio de Mello Filho ”the idea of ecogenesis as the main purpose of man’s creation of substitute ecosystems for degraded or lost ecosystems as result of human interventions stems from the 40’s. It was proposed by team members of the National Museum and has perfectly adjusted to the country’s socioenvironmental reality. It is therefore essential that these anthropic substitute ecosystems, through different from the original ones, maintain, preserve and convey to the future the values they once sustained so that they may endure in the environment reality.”
- The Architect Fernando Chacel, that was Burle Marx's trainee in the 50's and today is one of the most important Landscape Architect in Brazil, with more than 50 years of experience, is author of this project.
