The Portugal Pavilion at Parque das Nações in Lisbon was designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira, with António Segadães Tavares as engineer, for Expo '98. The infobox gives completion in 1998 and inauguration on May 22, 1998. The article names no client. It has two floors and is described as Contemporary.
A pre-stressed concrete entrance canopy shelters a large entrance square, described as based on the idea of a sheet of paper placed on two bricks. The article gives no other materials and no area. It won a Prémio Valmor and became a Monument of Public Interest in 2010.
The building stood empty after Expo '98. Press reports in March 2015 said it would be sold, but in May 2015 it went to the University of Lisbon, which maintains it. Planned uses include a 600-seat auditorium, exhibition rooms and a restaurant. The article does not state its current opening status.
