“水处理站的这座塔也充当观景塔，是为Nova Aldeia da Luz(葡萄牙南部)规划的大胆基础设施。Alentejo干旱景观中的这一独特元素通过一个务实和功能严谨的详细程序来追求现代乌托邦。

"The tower at the Water Treatment Station, which also acts as a viewing tower, is a bold infrastructure planned for Nova Aldeia da Luz (Southern Portugal). This unique element in the arid landscape of Alentejo pursues the modern utopia through a pragmatic and rigorously functional detailing process.

可见的裸露混凝土强调了这种形象。然而，它的设计再矛盾不过了。它回忆起勒·柯布西耶(Le Cor布西耶)的“人身保护股”的烟囱，但现在它站在地上，表明整个建筑已经被掩埋了。这是一个隐喻，表明了一个重大的运动，远离了现代运动的更激进的理论和参与进程，参与建设新村。

The visible bare concrete emphasises this imagery. However, its design could not be more paradoxical. It recalls the chimney of Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation, but it now stands on the ground, suggesting that the entire building has been buried. This is a metaphor that demonstrates a significant movement away from the more radical theories of the Modern Movement and towards the process of participation involved in the construction of the new village.

反对可耻的博学文化与大众品味的暴政之间的对立，最重要的是，这个水库是一个积极宽容的地方。“

Rejecting the antagonism between a shamefacedly erudite culture and the tyranny of popular taste, above all, this reservoir is a place of active tolerance."
