架构师提供的文本描述。“奥维亚托雷”可以追溯到13世纪：它是由阿拉伯人建造的，当时纳扎里王国统治着伊比利亚半岛的南部。

Text description provided by the architects. The “Torre de Huercal Overa” dates back to the 13th century: it was built by the Arabs when the Nazari kingdom reigned in the south of the Iberian Peninsula.

它的地理位置是基督教徒和纳扎里斯人之间的边界，当时侦察工作正在进行，而阿拉伯王国则沦为安达鲁西亚的小堡垒。

Its location was the border between Christians and Nazaris at a time when the Reconquest had progressed and the Arab kingdom was reduced to the small bastion of Andalusia

现存的遗骸位于悬崖边缘，是一座更大堡垒的一部分，现在消失了。这片凸起的飞地自古以来就是防御带的一部分：在周围环境中，有可追溯到青铜时代的考古遗迹。

Situated on the edge of a cliff, the existing remains were part of a bigger fortress now disappeared. This raised enclave was part of a defensive belt since ancient times: in the surroundings there are archeological remains dating back to the bronze age.

纳扎里王国沦陷后，堡垒失去了主要功能，并逐渐恶化，随后处于衰败状态。在西班牙内战期间，它被用作掩体，并有几个开口用来射击机关枪。在过去的五十年里，这座塔是私人所有的，为了满足他的需要，业主进行了一些重大的改造。近年来，市政府获得了财产权，并委托该项目进行修复。

After the fall of the Nazari kingdom the fortress lost its main function and slowly deteriorated, subsequently falling in a state of dilapidation. During the Spanish civil war it was used as a bunker and several openings were made to fire machine guns. The tower was privately owned during the last fifty years and the proprietor carried out a number of significant alterations to suit his needs. In recent years the municipality gained the rights of property and commissioned the project for the restoration.

该项目的主要目的是使该塔能够进入，并包括修复和修复原来的建筑物。所遵循的标准是尽可能保留原始材料，去除现代元素，重新铺上原来的泥墙和砖织物。给遗址考古学的重要性，新增加的东西作为可移动的物体，直接放置在地面上，没有地基，并与原来的建筑材料对比。而不是重建，该项目强调新的补充和陈述丢失的部分。

The main aim of the project was to make the tower accessible, and encompassed the repair and restoration of the original building. The criteria followed were to preserve as much as possible of the original materials, removing modern elements and resurfacing the original mud wall and brick fabric. Give the archeological importance of the site, new additions are made as removable objects, placed directly onto the ground without foundations and made with contrasting materials with the ones the original structure was built. Instead of reconstructing, the project emphasizes the new additions and states the lost pieces.

该项目试图重新利用现有的地形，以尽量减少地面变化，因此停车场设置在一个现有的高原在道路的尽头。一个单片的COR-10钢盒子被放置在信息办公室里.就像一个集装箱，它的目的是显示其可移动的，旅行的性质。

The project tries to reuse the existing topography to minimize ground alteration, so the parking area is set at an existing plateau at the end of the access road. A monolithic cor-ten steel box is placed to house the information office. Like a shipping container, it is intended to show its removable, traveling nature.

从那时起，在考古学家的帮助下，找到了一条步行街。连同他们提供的指导方针，该网站的地形跟踪自己的道路遵循。选择的布局寻找一个缓缓的斜坡，创造平坦的空间休息和观看。这条小径是用预制的混凝土瓷砖铺成的.像长凳一样的石头沿着这条路排列，就像山的一部分。

From that point, a pedestrian path was traced with the help of the archaeologists. Together with the guidelines they provided, the topography of the site traced itself the path to follow. The chosen layout looks for a gentle slope and creating flat spaces to rest and look. The trail is paved with pre-casted concrete tiles. Stone like benches are set along the way, emerging like part of the mountain.

这座塔的最初入口是在地面上四米高的地方。为了恢复这一通道，建造了一个新的耐候钢楼梯。它被认为是一个轻的，可移动的物体，与现有的建筑形成鲜明的对比。相对于塔的坚固，四边形的重要性，楼梯是一个圆形的，生锈的，临时的结构。就像一个外来物体一样，它的物质性加强了它的临时性质。(鼓掌)

The original entry to the tower was four meters above ground level. To restore this access, a new weathering steel staircase is built. It is conceived as a light, removable object with a contrasting nature with the existing building. In opposition to the solid, quadrangular materiality of the tower, the staircase is a rounded, rusty, temporary structure. Like a foreign object, its materiality reinforces its provisional nature.   

这个钢制圆柱体被刺穿，以创造有控制的景观。在一种“长廊建筑”的结构中，游客被邀请去欣赏这被风吹拂的贫瘠景观的美丽。

This steel cylinder is punctured in order to create controlled views into the landscape. In a sort of “promenade architectural” through the structure, visitors are invited to enjoy the beauty of this barren landscape lashed by the wind.

规划处

修复现有结构的主要目的是保存和修复原始材料，删除增加的材料，并在可能的情况下对原始材料进行表面处理。泥墙被清理和加固了。在原始表面损坏太大的地方，采用了新的石灰石灰泥盖，其形状为原墙表面的框架。

The main aim for the restoration of the existing structure was to preserve and repair the original materials, removing the additions and surfacing the original materials where possible. The mud walls were cleaned and consolidated. In those places where the original surface was too damaged, a new limestone mortar cover was applied following a geometrical pattern framing the original wall finish.

近年来，这座塔的内部发生了重大变化。该项目的目标是移除所有添加物，关闭新造的开口，并拆除隐藏原始织物的石膏涂层。最初的室内楼梯被部分拆除，是根据在类似的塔楼中发现的类型而重建的。

The interior of the tower was significantly altered in recent years. The projects objective was   to remove all the additions, close newly made openings and remove the plaster coating that hid the original fabric. The original interior staircase, which was partially demolished, is rebuilt based on the typology found in similar towers.

地板上铺满了二十世纪末的瓦片，这些瓷砖被拆掉了：取而代之的是一种新的浮木地板，与原来的墙壁分开。

The floor was covered with late twenty century tiles that were taken out: a new floating wood floor is placed instead, detached from the original walls.

除去墙壁上的灰泥涂层后，原来的砖织物就出现了。

After removing the plaster coating on the walls, the original brick fabric emerged.

室内的色彩和材料的使用意图创造一种温暖，欢迎的感觉，而不是杂乱无章，内向的性质，建筑的外部。

The use of colour and materials in the interior intend to create a warm, welcoming feeling in contrast with the hash, introverted nature of the building’s exterior.

这种简单而有力的干预旨在展示由匿名建筑者用简单材料建造的无年代建筑的力量，并强调当代的临时性、轻盈性、可降解性。

This simple yet emphatic intervention is intended to show the strength of an ageless construction, made by anonymous builders with simple materials, as well as to emphasize the provisional, light, degradable nature of the contemporary.
