The Oriente Station was commissioned in the short term to serve the needs of World Expo 98 and in the long term to provide a main transport terminal for the east side of Lisboa as a future development of the city is planned for this side of the Tagus River. Oriente Station is a huge transport interchange, connecting local and long-distance trains, buses, coaches and taxis, and the underground system, and providing an airport link with check-in facilities. It also connects with the former Expo site, now the Parque das Nacoes housing important civic functions, reached via an adjacent light industrial and social housing neighbourhood. Calatrava‘s design is visually robust and suitably monumental.
The entire station is articulated along two perpendicular axes. The elevated railway tracks, under a forest of white geometrical trees joining in Gothic arches, cross above the bus station, with its floating elliptical roofs which rest on the ground on delicate insect-like legs. The cavernous space beneath the platforms, among concrete riblike arches, provides a concourse, ticket booths and access to the underground. A giant cantilevered roof juts out like a tongue, acting as ceremonial gate and gesturing towards the Expo site, and enhances the isolated nature of this station within the surrounding idiosyncratic landscape of Lisboa.
