Created to house the collection of the philanthropist Calouste Gulbenkian (1869-1955), the complex is not only an institution, it's part of the personal history of every Lisbon resident.
The Gulbenkian Foundation, in charge of managing the museums and the garden, had invited six architecture firms to reimagine the Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian (CAM), designed by the English architect Sir Leslie Martin in 1983. Kengo Kuma and his partners in Portugal, the Porto-based OODA studio, won the commission and set themselves two goals: to create more space while avoiding extravagant gestures and to establish closer connections between the building, the garden, and Lisbon and its citizens.
The museum reopened to the public on 21 September, and now has an entrance that passes through a portion of the gardens, creating a dialogue with the original forest. For Kuma, these gardens are "the soul of the building", and are crafted by landscape designer Vladimir Djurovic using only native species. The façade, inspired by engawa, the wooden verandas that run along the perimeter of traditional Japanese houses, is emblematic of Kuma's style.
