Appreciation towards villegasbueno arquitectura for providing the following description:
該項目位于14世紀修建的古老城堡(Castillo de El Real de la Jara)內。城堡坐落在塞維利亞北部山脈自然公園內一處高山的山頂位置。業主為塞維利亞省政府,該政府一直致力于塞維利亞省南部安達盧西亞地區的可持續發展和社會和諧項目。
The intervention takes place in the “Castillo de El Real de la Jara”, a fortress dating from the 14th century, located on the highest point of the hill right north of the village, in the county and Natural Park of the North Range of Sevilla. The commission was made by the Diputación Provincial de Sevilla, and has been funded by the FEDER Operational program for Andalucía for Sustainable development and social cohesion project for the North Range and South Range of Sevilla.
城堡庭院的西北角有少量價值很小的歷史殘留物。城堡位居戰略要地,其南面建造了一條防線以防御葡萄牙侵略者。從周圍的Cala 和Santa Olalla del Cala城堡仍可看到這條防線。
The castle courtyard has few historic remains of very little value localized on its northwest corner, though the fortress had a strategic situation, onthe “Banda Gallega”, a defense line built to protect the south from possible portuguese invasions. This line can be still perceived through the visualconnection with the nearby castles of Cala and Santa Olalla del Cala.
The main factors of our design approach were an extremely tight budget, the preservation of the heritage character of the castle, total respect to the previous interventions -despite their quality or value-, bringing the inmaterial property back to the village and guaranteeing the use of the castle asa gathering place for its people.
To minimize the intervention, in the design we took profit of the natural steep grounds of the castle formed by the natural rock substrate and thepreexisting spatial structure the castle doors and walls gave, with just two series of retaining walls to enable the use of the space.
The intervention becomes a new public square, the castle walls as urban fabric, the doors as street-like entrances, the interior a place to enjoy.A new urban space surrounded by nature.
