The Portugal Pavilion is a striking building designed by Portugal's
Pritzker Award-winning architect Alvaro Siza Vieira.
Its remarkable sagging
concrete roof weighing 1,400 tonnes and measuring 50 by 67 meters (167 by
223 ft) is an instant attention-grabber, undulating like a sailcloth,
keeping the maritime theme of most of the district's architecture.
The
building is currently empty but it now belongs to Lisbon University, which hosts temporary exhibitions and events inside.
