Lisbon Architectural Guide 1948-2013

A construction boom in the second decade of the 21st century, driven by both the city’s recovery from the earlier economic crises of 2008/2012 and the growth of the tourist industry, necessitated a second edition of the ‘Lisbon Architectural Guide’, first published in 2013. Now revised and expanded with recent projects and new historical insights, this comprehensive guide to the post-war architecture of Lisbon divides the city into sixteen urban districts, organised in respective chapters. Each chapter includes an introductory text and map displaying the location of the selected buildings, which in turn are illustrated with photographs, drawings, relevant data, and an explanatory text.
