This volume celebrates the latest architectural endeavor 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.
The life and art of Felix Nussbaum, the architectural language of Daniel Libeskind, the photographs of Erieta Attali—three voices, three narratives, brought together in an impressive photo book. New York based photographer Erieta Attali has succeeded in capturing the various references inside and outside the Felix-Nussbaum-House in Osnabrück, the complex interplay of architecture, museum and exhibition spaces, and the paintings of German-Jewish painter Felix Nussbaum (1904–1944) presented therein with her photographs. Attali‘s view is not documentary, but rather the subjective view of a visual poet who, in keeping with the subtitle of the publication, explores the resistance in both Nussbaum‘s paintings and Libeskind‘s architecture. The Felix Nussbaum House was Libeskind‘s first completed building in 1998, and with its provocative, unconventional design, it continues to defy visitors‘ usual expectations of a museum building. This book is intended to arouse curiosity: about Nussbaum‘s paintings and life, about the building that bears his name. And, in keeping with the wishes of the museum‘s sponsors, it aims to keep his memory alive. The cover in the shape of an N is a reference to the name of the painter who was murdered in Auschwitz.

The OBEL Foundation has opened applications for the fourth edition of the OBEL Teaching Fellowships, offering a grant of up to €75,000. Prospective fellows from around the world are invited to apply in partnership with a host institution. Selected courses are expected to begin in 2027 (or shortly thereafter) and will centre on the 2026 OBEL Award focus: Systems' Hack. The fellowship supports deeper exploration, development, and dissemination of knowledge on this critical theme within the built environment. "Supporting influential ideas and approaches that can drive architectural discourse is a key focus for the foundation. We are excited to welcome applications from around the world to gain diverse perspectives on the Systems' Hack agenda. Ultimately, we seek fellows who explore how architecture can critically engage with the systems that underpin contemporary society — from infrastructure and energy to food, water, education and information. Just like the Systems' Hack agenda, education can work in a similar way: moving beyond conventional problem-solving and instead intervening in the very systems on which society and nature depend," explains Jesper Eis, Executive Director at OBEL. The 2026 fellowship cycle provides funding that enables universities to introduce new voices into academia and develop impactful courses examining how architects can expose, infiltrate, and reconfigure entrenched structures — not by rejecting them, but by transforming how they function. The theme asks whether architecture can become an active participant within ecological and social systems, operate within planetary boundaries, and help reshape the networks of production, governance, and influence on which it depends. Further information about the Systems' Hack focus can be found here.
