joel filipe explores geometric surfaces of the MAAT museum in lisbon

situated on the tagus river, architect amanda levete creates a reunion between the river and the city with MAAT’s walkable rooftop terrace. this posture draws visitors from the nearby streets of belem to the promenade which steps down to meet the water.

digital designer and creative director joel filipe continues his formal clean exploration in a series of photos of the MAAT by AL_A. his latest work celebrates the delicate impression of the building’s undulating white tile facade against the bright lisbon sky.

the roof provides a gathering space during the day and a place to screen films at night. the low-lying gentle arch of the building allows for a clever play of shadows and light, along with a nod to rippling water.
