MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia / Fundação EDP
Museums and Palaces
The MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology is a new cultural centre in the city of Lisbon, a space for debate, critical thinking and international dialogue, which offers an intense and diverse programme conceived for all audiences and ages.
The MAAT represents the EDP group’s intent to help revitalise the riverfront of Belém’s historic district. It comprises the elegant new kunsthalle designed by AL_A, the prestigious architecture practice headed by British architect Amanda Levete, and the recently renovated Central power station.
The project involves approximately 3 thousand square metres of exhibitive space plus 7 thousand square metres of public space, offering, among other features, a pedestrian roof that offers a privileged view of Lisbon and the Tagus, and which immediately became an iconic location. The new museum complex is located on the EDP Foundation Campus, which is at the heart of an exciting urban revitalisation along one of Lisbon’s most historic waterfronts.
Recently the footbridge connecting the MAAT roof to the district of Belém opened to the public, establishing a new relationship between the city and the waterfront, providing direct, step free access over the road and train line.
