Article source: Ricardo Bak Gordon The project olive mill Oliveira da Serra not only matches the need of the Group to build a mill for its large production of oil but essentially use this construct to somehow produce a Statement . Ie state concern , alias already existing brand in the industry and the economy to follow along with the concerns of landscape and contemporary attitude . Better quality , better design , more responsibility towards the landscape .
Not only speak in countryside surrounding the building , but in the global landscape , ie certain that the whole place is Landscape . Is that when you invest in a contemporary image for their products when investigating a system to hits the bottles that not only ensures greater precision and effectiveness as merges into one last gesture and future, so when it invites artists from various fields to interpret the universe olive oil , thereby contributing to local or locally universally universal culture . So this building also seeks to answer these designs, revealing maximum effectiveness while reading refers to a landscape without time. Assuming the confrontation between built and natural landscape element (man and nature), the building emerges “in the middle” of the plantation that gives it meaning – the olive – and extends across the landscape as an abstract background next volume and our fictional . However, the consequent lightness and delicacy of the drawing, causes the apparent building a levitation effect, thanks to the generous consoles that launches at each of its ends. Moreover, the territorial brand assumed for this building, not merely exist during the day but as the periods of the olive harvest, the building reveals his distance during the 24 hours of the day. Night at their consoles earn light / color allowing intuit your valuable furniture, and once more that landscape marking.
