Garden
Garden of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation
Av. de Berna 45 A, 1067-001 Lisboa
Modernist park where brutalist buildings and planted rooftops merge with two lakes into one whole.
This guide to the Garden of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon follows the six-year experiment two landscape architects began in 1963, designing garden and buildings as one organism where rooftops turn to terraces and concrete museum walls sail out over two lakes. You'll hear about the Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Prize and the garden's status as Portugal's first modern national monument. Stand on the stepped pathway between the lakes, water on both sides, before you move on.
