Santiago Calatrava's oriental station

Lisbon's new railroad and bus station, called ìGare do Orienteî (oriental station) was designed by spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The oriental area of Lisbon was a decadent industrial zone until it was rehabilitated for the ìExpo 98î international exhibition in 1998. After that year, some constructions remain with their original uses and others were converted to residential and office buildings.
