Shrub Planting Plan for the Centro de Arte Moderna

Following the selection of the site for the Centro de Arte Moderna by the Board of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in 1980, landscape architects António Facco Viana Barreto and Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles resigned from their positions as consultants.
