Centre for Interpretation of The Battle of Atoleiros

Fronteira, Alentejo, Portugal

The massing of the building evokes the imaginary of traditional rammed earth construction, due to its rough texture, achieved with the use of concrete coloured in shades of red and a technique close to the manual one. This texture is further reinforced by the interposition of lines of thin Schist slabs placed in the horizontal joint, recovering a disappearing tectonic.
