| Sumario: | [EN] In 1953, a special situation arose, leading to the development of a mindset that marked the beginning of the construction of three new towns linked to the electricity production: Picote, Miranda and Bemposta. That situation was the crossing of three unyielding figures - João Archer, Nunes de Almeida and Rogério Ramos – with the Portuguese Government’s need to respond to an industrial agenda that required very particular and demanding spaces. This context was also parallel with the expansion and growing dominance of concrete as a construction system, which was very distant from the ones used in the local architecture. Although there is an extensive list of experiences with regard to concrete, which are essential for the current situation of architecture, this text is focused on Picote Chapel and the Buildings for Water Treatment in Miranda and Bemposta. The text also deals with the relationship between the modernist character of these buildings, the old town and nature. |
