In the Berlin-Dahlem Botanical Garden, Robert became acquainted with the exotic fauna of South America from a new angle and developed a lively interest in the charm and diversity of vegetation of his Brazilian home where European plants were in vogue. In autumn 1929 he returned to Rio de Janeiro to pursue studies at the art academy there. But the love of the plants would not let him go, and so in 1932 he was commissioned in Rio to design a garden for the Schwarz family, together with the architects Gregory Warchavchic and Lucio Costa, the pioneers of Classical Modernist Brazil.
