The contemporary and modern architecture of Lisbon is strongly shaped by the transformation that began with Expo ’98, an event that marked a turning point in the city’s urban development. Visionary architects such as Santiago Calatrava and Álvaro Siza Vieira designed some of the most iconic structures of this period, including Oriente Station and the Portugal Pavilion, which became symbols of innovation and architectural ambition. Alongside them, contributions from architects like Aires Mateus with Mar do Oriente and João Pedro Falcão de Campos with Bar à Margem played an important role in redefining the architectural landscape of the city. This guided tour led by an architect explores the heart of contemporary Lisbon within Parque das Nações, offering insights into the creative process and urban planning that shaped this unique district. We begin by transferring to the Expo ’98 area, where the Portugal Pavilion stands as a masterpiece of structural elegance and simplicity.
