This site is soaked with complex memories of WWII and bloody protests in a fight for freedom in the 1970'. The heaviness of the past is contrasted by the lightness of the absolutely marvellous grading of the square. There are traces and signs of those memories still that suggest respect and soberness, but nothing is heavy about this design. So maybe the new 'feel of the place' suggests that confronting the past is perhaps behind? It optimistically allows for new uses in the times to come. Another thing worth mentioning is if you read the design statement, the museum was supposed to look more like a house and less like a landscape at first. The architects proposed a square also to give some space to the new Philharmonic (by another architect) across the street which is an act of super-consciousness in the world of architecture and I'm not sure how many architects are capable of that. This attitude makes the Philharmonic look like an Instagram ready teenager and the square it's grown up neighbour.

The Tagus Linear Park combines two different typologies of spaces: A single multifunctional area named ‘PRAIA DOS PESCADORES’ (FISHERMEN’S BEACH), set by the riverside within a former sand deposit, and 6 km of PEDESTRIAN TRAILS associated with dirt roads, waterlines banks (streams and drainage ditches), which converge to Praia dos Pescadores, coming from urban and natural areas.
