The Olaias station - Lisbon Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi TE friends

One of the most beautiful Metro stations of Lisbon.

In WS, you can another picture with great details
What is more interesting?

I hope you like it !

The station Olaias, one of the seven stations belonging to the 1st grade of Line D(Eastern Line) was inaugurated on 19 May 1998.

The architect Tomás Taveira was responsible for architectural design, this invitation of the Metropolitan allowed him to intervene again in a place whose urban structure has played an important role.

The station is underlain by a higher court and the nature of the pier with the main feature of this being an area which gives a lush multicolored special ambience. Throughout all the finishes have been subject of considerable attention, and the architect himself contributed to an intervention consisting of ten plastic art lamps, metal and acrylic, and a metal sculpture located next to the panoramic lift and comes in the form of a fish.

The topography of the site imposed contingencies to the constructive process that gave rise to some architectural peculiarities, such as the huge right foot at the pier that allowed the deployment of a monumental colonnade. The output of the tunnel station Olaias towards East season ends in a viaduct over the valley of Chelas. This bridge was the target of a plastic action by António Palolo. For the outer lining of the guards this bridge, the artist has designed a set of decorative panels in colors and with the intention of providing a sequential read. The panels were performed at the Factory widow Lamego. This aesthetic intervention, in addition to reducing the environmental impact is a further enriching the landscape of the site.

Contributed to enrich the space of this station four artists:

Pedro Cabrita Reis, whose participation is made up of a sculpture in metal plate painted black and white, called "Ascension", which is reflected in the lobby, it is a staircase that provides the customer with the Metro a "symbolic ascent," a where converge own stairs and escalators from the station.

Graça Pereira Coutinho designed for the four walls of access platforms, covering a bas-relief representing sandy textured handprints that symbolize the movement of the passage by the local human - the individuality of each one.

Pedro Calapez contributed a ceramic mural for the lobby. This panel was built in two thicknesses, a feature that allows a reading in relief; in the words of artist seem to "get out of the wall."

Rui Sanchez devised an operational platform for a sculpture in steel with a surface treatment which gives it a rusty appearance. The author claimed that this work will constitute an unusual presence, powerful and yet discreet, a perfect integration into the environment and may even pass through one structural element.

Bonjour Aires,
Je suis toujours amateur de ce genre de photo ! Celle-ci présente l'avantage d'être très coloré et la station de métro avait le grand avantage d'être quasiment vide ! Peut-être eut-il fallu déclencher un poil plus tôt ou bien utiliser une vitesse un peu plus rapide. A voir.

Composition and presentation are superb.
Very well done, TFS.

Olá Aires!
Passei muitas vezes por muitas dessas estações de metrô na bela Lisboa!
Sua foto está excelente, principalmente pelas cores, pelas luzes e pelo efeito de movimento obtido com o trem!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

Well Aires, both pics are great but I prefer this one: there's the train with its movement, that effect adds definitely something good to your pic.
Have a good week!

Olá Aires!
Estas cores assim quase nem os nossos olhos as capturam assim, magnifico.
O efeito dado ao metro tá bonito.
Aqui está mais um conjunto, um trabalho 5 estrelas.
Parabens e abraço.

Ciao Aires,
complimenti perchè sono entrambe due bellissime foto e non saprei proprio quale preferire. In questa sono molto belli i colori e l'effetto dato dal movimento del treno. Il WS si lascia ammirare per la bella grafica. Un caro abbraccio.

Olá Aires,

Fantástico o teu trabalho tanto no original como no Ws.As cores estão lindíssimas e o efeito fantasma ficou no ponto.
Parabéns amigo,
Filipe

Fantastic colours at this station and the sense of moving gives dynamic to the photo.

Um abraço Gonçalo

Hello Aires,
A wonderful combination of colours and forms and a convincing perspective.

Docarmo (8854) 2009-09-08 9:24

Olá Aires,
Belíssima estação de metrô, INDEED! E o efeito das cores que partem em alta velocidade, dão a impressão de efeito "dominó" na parede, com aqueles desenhos coloridos inclinados ;-) MUITO interessante! Parabéns!
Esta tua séria de 'movimento' está fantástica! Daria um bom tema sob o título "Dynamic pictures".
Show de WS, merecia uma apresentação independente!
Docarmo

excellent shot

Bonjour Aires
Ici aussi une excellente perspective et toutes ces couleurs sont flatteuses.
Bravo et bonne journée

xuaxo (5835) 2009-09-11 10:38

Olá Aires,
Bela mistura de cores taveirescas.
Eu ia preferir o WS, mas nesta principal as colunas vêem-se muito melhor. Essas colunas são a "marca" dessa estação.
Além disso, não se vê ninguém no WS, o que é um pouco estranho numa estação de metro.
Cumprimentos,
Francisco

Olá aires, parabéns pela fantástica foto de mais um comboio "fantasma" cmpts - JC

Hi,
your photos appear so warm, full of colors and saturation.
Here, another interesting example enriched by a sense of motion provided by the train.
Well done!

Andrea

olà Aires
I was looking though your gallery and stopped at this post which I found to be very interesting! Olaias station is a beautiful one and I like how you have captured that train in a motion blur...I think I do prefer the main post, although the version in ws is nice too! Great details and colors.
Abraço
Marilyn
