Lisbon's Best Building of 2017
Lisboa Architecture Walks & Trips opens 2018 with a new Blog!
During the past year we have been publishing about relevant issues within Lisbon's architectural scene and about Portuguese architecture and architects in other parts of the country as well.To access these articles, please have a look at LISBOA ARCHITECTURE WALKS & TRIPS WEBSITE
In 2018, we will keep you updated about relevant news related to the architectural and urban transformation of Lisbon and about Portuguese architecture in general, focusing the modern and contemporary eras.
As Lisbon's best building of 2017, we selected the very new Lisbon's cruise terminal by the Portuguese architect João Luis Carrilho da Graça.
People are not sure about the benefits it will bring to the city's socio-economic dynamics in the future but we can get already a clear picture how it relates with the urban setting.The Building occupies a significant position at the riverfront along the old city. The clearness of its design – a very bright floating volume - contrasts notably with the winding structures of the surrounding urban tissue.
The Lisbon cruise terminal is a contemporary landmark which (re) writes the history of the place and (re) shapes the image of the city. It is certainly the building of the year.
