From Porto to Lisbon The architectural image of contemporary Portugal has come to be associated with the dazzling light and purity of lines of Porto's lyrical builders. Now, from the banks of the river Douro, the modernizing impetus of a country steeped in a process of renewal has reached the estuary of the Tagus. This area has been made the scene of the century's last world fair, through which old faded Lisbon aspires to consolidate a future of metropolitan dimensions. Portuguese architecture today situates itself between the legacy of wise traditions and the expectations of a future still in the making.

Architecture
Canonical Character. Amid the jubilation that prevails over the Expo precinct, Siza and Carrilho da Graça have for their respective pavilions chosen the clear-cut geometries and traditional materials of Portuguese architecture; equally exemplary in its dialogue with the past is the conversion into a hotel of the monastery of Bouro, a work of Souto de Moura.

Internal Renovation. The new learning centers reflect both the modernization of Portugal and the types favored by the country's recent architectural production, represented here by three prismatically shaped educational facilities: an engineering school by Adalberto Dias, a series of veterinary laboratories by Rocha & Gigante, and a university building by Nuno and José Mateus.

To close, the products section tackles the problematic matter of the skylight, a recurring element in projects that is not always easily adaptable to the demands of southern climates; and addressing the creative possibilities offered by a computer game, Fernando Valderrama speculates on a plausible future profession dedicated to the design of virtual spaces.

From Porto to Lisbon
In a quarter of a century, Portugal has passed from shade to limelight. The revolution of the carnations crossed the threshold of freedom; the revolution of the euro and the Expo now traverses the shadow line of modernity. Political and social freedom melted the boundaries of ignorance that had made the country a blind spot on the European map, and its neighbors were amazed to find a landscape both moving and quiet. Economic and technical modernity, in turn, have regenerated the self-esteem of a melancholic nation, which has exchanged nostalgia for a hopeful saudade of the future. In architecture, the spring of the carnations allowed the gradual diffusion of the Porto school; and the spring of the euro and the Expo has consolidated Portugal's integration into a global economy, with the attendant construction in Lisbon of emblematic works designed by foreigners. From the Douro to the Tagus, this Atlantic country has swiftly moved from penumbra to brilliance, and from poetry to spectacle.
Spaniards and Portuguese have shared so many periods of history that the symmetries of this latest stretch come as no surprise: Spain's political transition took place shortly after the establishment of democracy in Portugal, while the now ongoing celebrations in Lisbon reproduce the climate of euphoria and optimisim that the Seville Expo and Barcelona Olympics had created in 1992. Long since the destiny of both countries was determined by marriage alliances between dynasties, Spain and Portugal are now living a moment of spontaneous fraternity that nourishes mutual awareness and cultural exchanges: literary, musical, and of course architectural. On the Spanish side of the 'dry line', admiration for the Portuguese renaissance first centered on the fertile example of the Porto architects, but eventually spread to include the vigorous energy of Lisbon, which represents and expresses the country at large.
Many will raise an eyebrow at the Expo. Faced with the coloristic muddle of the pavilions, the naïf technology of the canopies and the trivial colossalism of the grounds, they will suggest we lose our way instead in the labyrinth of the Alfama, stroll unhurriedly through the Baixa or stop at length in the miradors of the Bairro Alto. But the placid theatrical beauty of old Lisbon cannot conceal the deficiencies of its infrastructure, which a collective challenge like the Expo has helped to alleviate. No one has understood this split character of Lisbon as well as a master from Porto, the wise and genial Álvaro Siza, who has been silent in the Chiado yet eloquent in the Expo; his serene concrete tent and arhythmic stone porticoes combine mute monumentality with a sweeping welcome gesture to create a gravid baldachin, spanning a luminous and shaded plaza on the edge of the water: this light and heavy canopy will for a few months shelter the marine heart of an ocean-faring nation.
