A massive ceramic covered wave rising from the landscape towards the Tagus River in Lisbon’s Belem district is AL_A’s Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT). The 15,000 ceramic tiles on the undulating form is seen blending the rooftop terrace with the walkway by the edge. The museum allows visitors to walk over or sit beneath a slightly-expanded arch. MAAT’S four galleries are sunk below ground level to keep the building height low, matching the surrounding architecture. AL_A architects have imagined the building to reflect the colours on the façade during certain times of the day, bringing varying readings of water, shadow and light. The roof is like an open air cinema where visitors can enjoy splendid views of the Moorish São Jorge Castle on the hillside above and waterfront below.
