AB  - The Lisbon Cruise Terminal is implanted in the privileged and scarce marginal territory where the relationship between the city and the river is not interrupted by the railway line. The building, volumetrically compact, was designed to free the surrounding space, allowing the creation of an urban park, offering the population a unique possibility to enjoy the riverfront. The building is a large covered space, through which passenger arrivals, at the bottom, and departures, at the top, are articulated. A path surrounds the building up to its roof, which – like an abstract topography – promotes a dialogue with the natural amphitheatre of Alfama, sublimating the presence of the city. sed on the intention of the building to have a solid materiality, and given a problem raised during the execution project by the engineering team – which warned of the need for the façades to be light (due to the limited load bearing capacity of the foundations) – the possibility arose of using
a material that was resistant but less heavy than concrete. Following a challenge set by Experimenta Design within the scope of the Metamorphosis project on the use of cork in construction, and in collaboration with the Research and Technological Development Institute for Construction, Energy, Environment and Sustainability of the University of Coimbra (ITeCons), the Cement Applications Development Centre (CDAC) and the companies Secil and Amorim, an innovative material was created: white structural concrete supplemented with granulated cork. This component was introduced in powder form, allowing the reaction of the concrete – and consequently its structural capacity – to be maintained, the mass to be reduced by 40% – making the
resulting material substantially lighter – and improving its energy efficiency – given the thermal insulation
characteristics of the additive material.
