UITP is pleased to organize the 3rd Design Day in Lisbon,
where some of the most important Portuguese Design Schools,
the Portuguese Design Centre and the Museum of Design
can be found. Europe’s most western capital, Lisbon is a city
where eight centuries of history embrace a 21st century city full of life.
Flanked by the Tagus on one side and the Atlantic on the other,
Lisbon is a city enveloped in an unusual light.

Since its beginning in 1959, Lisbon Metro has been an example
of the modern trend that is visible in the city. Its stations
connect three important aspects - architecture, art and design.
These features were worked together shoulder to shoulder,
from the very first project drawings. This triangular dynamic
is systematically encouraged and is easily noticeable mainly
in the stations built since the mid-1990s. Considered as good
practice by UITP, public art is present in every single station
of the Lisbon Metro network; artists from all over the world
are represented, the best example being Orient station,
displaying thirteen internationally renowned artists.
