Photographer Jordi Llorella was invited by Sonae Capital and by the Saraiva + Associados office to design a project for the Riverside hotel in Stª Apolónia in which emigration is the central theme of the intervention. The objective of the work was based on the registration of an architectural heritage of the stations and stopovers in Portugal. The big difference in this work is in the photography equipment itself - pinhole cameras made from the “symbolic object that are the cardboard bags” used by migrants. All the work can be consulted in the book that will be available at the hotel.

Building with history

With all its legacy, this railway station, witness to great events in history and is an accomplice of affections and emotions that cannot be accommodated in suitcases. And that is how this hotel in Lisbon, The Editory Riverside Hotel is presented.
