Parque do Tejo e Trancao - Expo '98
Lisbon, Portugal
This 160-acre environmental park supports a wide range of recreational and educational uses. The project takes advantage of the stimulus provided by Expo ‘98 to redevelop a valuable, but long abused waterfront parcel of land directly adjacent to the Expo site. The design seeks to transform the deteriorated site, without erasing past uses—landfill, industrial production and waste treatment—to create a meaningful program of environmental education through direct participation as well as a place for recreation and respite for the new adjacent residences.
