Modernism is the most defining architectural expression of the 20th century – a movement that transformed built environments around the world in an unprecedented way. Many of these buildings are in need of repair now or their original function is no longer needed. This publication in cooperation with Docomomo explores strategies of rehabilitating works of this era. Architects and art historians discuss challenges in the preservation of Modernist buildings. 24 best-practice examples are highlighted, illustrating various approaches to restoration. Among them, there are unknown gems such as the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon or the stunning house that Juan O’Gorman built for his father in Mexico – interventions guided by respect for the authenticity of the architecture and based on substantial research.

This volume celebrates the latest architectural endeavour of the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon: the new building of the Centro de Arte Moderna (CAM), designed by architect Kengo Kuma in collaboration with the landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic. More than a building, this project is a living dialogue between architecture, nature and the city—transforming museum and garden into a unified public space, rooted in the Foundation’s cultural mission.Through the lens of Erieta Attali, acclaimed photographer and architecture historian, the building and its surrounding landscape are captured in striking, atmospheric images that reveal the subtle interplay of form, light and material. Her photographs—both precise and poetic—highlight how the building and garden create spaces for rest, interaction and shared experience.Accompanying Attali’s photographs are insightful texts that take the reader deeper into the story of the renewal. Attali introduces the project from her unique visual perspective, while conversations with Kuma and Djurovic reveal the close creative partnership between museum, architect, and landscape designer. An essay by architectural historian Ana Tostões anchors the project within the Gulbenkian Foundation’s legacy and evolving role as a public cultural force. Even more than a bold architectural gesture, the museum’s sculptural roof—Kuma’s poetic extension of the landscape— extends the building into the garden, dissolving boundaries and reclaiming the green space as an urban refuge.
