ART IN LISBON METRO

Ever since the construction of the first stations in the 1950s, it has been the Lisbon Metro’s goal to make the underground environment more and more friendly to the user.

It has been called "an underground gallery", with many of its stations decorated by modern artists. The most outstanding is the red line, with spacious stations covered in tile panels with contemporary designs. Other stops feature sculptures and quotes by famous authors and philosophers.

TREE HOUSES AT PEDRAS SALGADAS PARK

 

 

It's not a hotel, are eco-homes. They are seven, and they are in the north of Portugal, half hidden in a spa area with dense vegetation.

Incorporated into the Pedras Salgadas Park design and conceived by architect Luís Rebelo de Andrade, the tree houses arose from the challenge of creating an element that could fulfil the imaginary image of tree houses. The idea was to create an object moves away from orthogonality and pre-established concepts associated with construction.

The exterior blends with the surrounding trees and the interior, in contrast, is white and straight.

Lovers of contemporary architecture, this is for you.
