Pamela Burton begins every garden or landscape project, no matter
the size, with a big idea. The idea, according to Burton, "must be
simple, harmonious, perceptible and the product of a totality of
experience." Following the careful observation of a site's natural
forces, she lets her mind wander beyond professional knowledge. For
Burton, landscapes are symbolic creationswild spaces in which the
journey itself, a sequence of discrete experiences in space and
time, is paramount. Her Bonhill Residence, overlooking Los
Angeles's west side, was inspired by the elegant gardens of
Sissinghurst Castle in Kent, England and is conceived as a series
of outdoor "rooms." In her design for the Santa Monica Public
Library, Burton created a series of courtyards that weave the
interior spaces together, and are integrated with the library as a
metaphor for bringing light to the world beneath the surface of the
ocean, in the same way that she perceives libraries bringing
knowledge to light. Working with Moore, Ruble, Yudell Architects,
Burton's landscape designreinforces the library's civic quality.
Receptive to the nuances and idiosyncrasies of a site but unafraid
to explore the world of ideas, Burton has established herself as a
leading figure within the enduring legacy of California modern
landscape design. Pamela Burton Landscapes presents nineteen of her
built works for public and private clients, with sites ranging from
beach to desert and from farm to city block.
