A multi purpose space
At the 1998 World Fair (Expo ’98), the Pavilhão de Portugal, located at the Parque das Nações in Lisboa, was the building responsible for housing the representation
of the Portuguese nation at that event, and it still stands today. The project was developed by Álvaro Siza Vieira with the assistance of the architect Eduardo Souto de Moura.
The entrance area of the building is a wide plaza covered by an imposing panel of pre-stressed concrete, designed like a sheet of paper resting on top of two bricks. It opens up the area to the city to house the many events that are welcomed by a space of this scale.
