Museo Centro Gaiás - Cidade da Cultura
Peter Eisenman's ambitious project in the outskirts; the buildings were supposed to resemble rolling hills or maybe scallops. Each window frame and pane was bespoke, so the sharp intake of accountants' breath rose to a stiff breeze. There's a museum, library, cafe and archives, but cost over-run meant the arts centre and science centre were cancelled. Now the venue hosts large-scale temporary exhibitions covering art, history, science, and technology.
