Through my lens: Gare do Oriente
Gare do Oriente is one of the main Portuguese intermodal transport hubs, and is situated in the Parque das Nações, Lisbon.
With some influence from Gothic architecture, the station bears considerable resemblance to Santiago Calatrava's earlier Allen Lambert Galleria within Toronto's Brookfield Place. Calatrava's objective was to realize a new space with ample room and functionality providing multiple connections between various zones in the metropolitan area of Lisbon.
If you like it, go to Lecce Railway Station, my project partly inspired by Gare do Oriente.
