A VectorWorks Case Study
Oscar Bressane Arquitetura e Paisagismo Ltda., a one‑man landscape architecture firm in São Paulo led by award‑winning designer Oscar Bressane, transforms severe, large‑scale sites into cohesive, low‑maintenance public landscapes. Faced with projects like a 21‑mile stretch of the Rodoanel Mário Covas beltway and a 54‑hectare farm, Bressane had to solve steep, geometric slopes, vast planting areas, maintenance challenges, and the need to present clear, convincing plans to clients and the public.
Bressane used Vectorworks Landmark (including the Plant Place and earth‑movement tools) to create photomontages, accurate planting schedules, and 3D cut‑and‑fill models, speeding design and approval. His strategy—homogeneous forest bands, large shrub groupings, and low‑maintenance vines—enhanced aesthetics, improved driver experience and safety, simplified maintenance, and produced precise, award‑winning plans that helped spur local redevelopment.
