Portugal is a fascinating country when it comes to architecture. With a population of just over 10 million, its architectural output far exceeds what its population or territorial scale would suggest, and this art is not only a part of but deeply rooted in the national culture. With the aim of exploring the architects, projects, and stories behind landmark Portuguese architecture, Sara Nunes, from the architectural film production company Building Pictures, launched the podcast No País dos Arquitectos, where she talks with leading figures of contemporary Portuguese architecture.
These conversations offer a chance to discover the people, behind-the-scenes moments, processes, and references of prominent architects. For the first episode, Sara talks with none other than João Luís Carrilho da Graça about his design for the Lisbon Cruise Terminal, completed in 2018.
