This landscape current, whose greatest representative is the Dutchman Piet Oudolf —Hight Line and Vitra Museum – does not seek to copy the natural wild design, but under a rigorous selection of species aims evoke the simplicity of the forms that are natural to the human eye. In addition, it seeks to create emotions and tranquility within the cosmopolitan collective unconscious.
For Fernanda, having participated in repeated editions of Design House It has allowed him to have an open letter to experimentation. Design House is an annual project within Design Week Mexico in which a collaborative intervention of a house-habit is carried out that It is restored and remodeled by professionals in architecture, landscaping, design and interior design. «It is my opportunity to publicize the latest in research on wild species that we have been carrying out for several years in the office,» he said. He also stressed that, although these types of spaces are presented as something temporary, they are proposals based on real research on mixtures and combinations of long -term plants. «The idea is precisely raise awareness of people about the environmental services provided by a naturalist garden”He added.

Another project that is passionate is the Garden Lab: A wild plant nursery where, through the collection of native seeds, it has the opportunity to observe its behavior, and thus include plants intelligently and practically within the designs it proposes. A practice that in the words of the designer, “is key within the pollination process in the ecosystem and that today, by developing it in urban environments, helps in a large average the balance between the human relationship with nature”
In addition to landscaping as the main trade, Fernanda Rionda also travels in fields such as the Academy and the publishing world. Recently participated in the book Landscape design for biodiverse citiesS, edited by Dr. Elisa Olivares Esquivel. «I feel that my style is already recognizable and is the product of years of experimentation with mixtures, study of other gardens and the result of designing prairie plantations, functional and distinctive,» he concluded.
