- Abstract
The Portuguese Institute of Oncology (IPO) built in modern Lisbon, between 1927 and 1948, and added to until 1996, is the result of the Francisco Gentil effort to study and treat cancer. It is part of the Portuguese modern healthcare network and a reference concerning social, urban and architecture innovations, where the architects Cristino da Silva (1896-1936), Carlos Ramos (1897-1969), Raul Lino (1879-1974), Ernest Koop (1890-1962), Walter Diestel (1904-) and Raul Rodrigues de Lima (1909-1980) took part. By highlighting its cultural value this essay aims to stress the importance of achieving public and institutional awareness, in dealing with its everyday intensive use and transformation, towards a sustainable future.
