The landscaping project developed for the Rio Africa Cultural Center proposes a botanical narrative inspired by Afro-Brazilian traditions and the connections between Brazil and Africa. At the entrances, species associated with protection, defense, and strengthening mark the building's access points. In the center, a mini-forest with Atlantic Forest species evokes quilombola refuge territories and sacred African and Brazilian forests. Meanwhile, in the sunnier areas near the restaurant, the planting of pantropical species and food plants of African origin celebrates cultural sharing and the food resilience of enslaved African populations in Brazil.
