Modern Architecture in Lisbon - worth a visit!

I'd like to share some amazing modern architecture seen in Lisbon, Portugal this summer. 
At the old Expo space there is some fine modern architecture to see. The most striking building was Portugal's pavilion during the exhibition in 1998, designed by Álvaro Joaquim de Melo Siza Vieira.
Standing in front of it makes you realise the amazing static of the curved roof, like a thin sail in the wind. 




Another eye catching element of the expo area is the train/tube station Oriente designed by Santiago Calatrava, it looks like a modern white flower field.
