To the south of the new front of the Gulbenkian Foundation, a garden of winding, undulating paths leads visitors to the renovated CAM building and beyond the existing garden.  Its design was the result of a competition for ideas to extend the Garden in 2019. The selected team brought together architect Kengo Kuma for the intervention in the CAM building and landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic.

Conceived as an “urban forest” open to the city, where the existing vegetation now integrates dense clumps of native vegetation, this place celebrates its history and nature and invites people, plants, and animals to a reconciling coexistence, a metaphor for the future we want to build.

On this exclusive visit to the Cartão Gulbenkian Mais, we’ll get to know this new garden area, guided by the architect responsible for this project.
