A 1912 industrial building designed by architect Wilhelm Heinzelman has been given a very different second life. First used as a tram depot and later as a diesel power station, the site has been restored as the Centre for Contemporary Arts Tashkent, with its industrial character deliberately preserved.

One of the centre’s less visible features is a specialist research library devoted to art, visual cultures and critical theory, with a…

By Lina Ferreira Published on 07/09/2026 – 19:07 GMT+2•Updated 19:38 Portugal woke up to another rise in fuel prices which, in the case of diesel, reached a historic high. This time, the price rise, which has been seen throughout the year, was marked by protests on roads across the country. In the morning, a blaring of car horns on the 25 de Abril bridge could be heard, the crossing that links Lisbon to the city of Almada, on the south bank of the River Tagus.
