Il fiume Tago è l’ispiratore del museo disegnato da Amanda Levete e dal suo studio AL_A , per riconnettere il tessuto storico di Lisbona con il suo fiume, per molto tempo separati della ferrovia e della strada ad alto scorrimento, sfruttando la morfologia del sito e creando 7000 metri quadrati di spazio pubblico, in dialogo tra patrimonio culturale e futuro della città contemporanea (© Melania Bisegna).

MAAT LISBONA, Amanda Levete #maat  #amandalevete #ala #tempodacqua #thetimeofwater

MAAT, with an expressive architectonic language, rises from the ground with zoomorphic forms and affords us new overviews of Lisbon and the Tagus River. The roof is designed as an outdoor room with 7,000 m2, and linked to the ground by soft slopes that transform it into a large square (© Francisco Nogueira).
