This week, with the help of our readers, our Architecture City Guide is headed to Lisbon. We put together a list of 12 modern/contemporary buildings that we feel provides a good starting point. It is far from complete. There are dozens of other great buildings that are not our list, and we are looking to add to the list in the near future. Please add your favorites in the comment section below so we can add them on the second go around. Again thank you to all our readers who sent in their suggestions and photographs. The city guides would not be possible without your help.
To check out other cities visit our world map or our Architecture City Guide page.

You made a mistake in the map. Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown is more western than the mark. Correct it please, I was really surprised today when it disappears :).
