Álora村庄坐落于Sierra del Hacho山脉的一个弓形地段，古老的Arrabal城镇环绕着山上的城堡。这个村庄有着丰富而有趣的历史，摩尔人曾在这里有过反抗天主教徒的斗争，弗拉门戈歌曲malagueña也在这里发源。该项目对城堡周围的建筑及环境进行了修复及重新改造，为的是在重塑公共设施的同时吸引更多的游客。建筑师提出了一个名为“tapestry scale 1:1”的方案，捕捉到了这片文化景观所蕴藏的能量。这个石制地图将带领游客探索、发现、了解并且体验这片文化景观。现方案第二阶段已经落地，它是通向城堡的必经之路，名为360º观景台。
Álora, with its Castle surrounded by an ancient Arrabal, is placed as a bow of the mountainous landscape of Sierra del Hacho. The village has a rich and interesting history related to the Moorish defence against Catholics and about the creation of the malagueña, a kind of flamenco song. It took place an architectural competition for refurbishing and renovating the castle surroundings in order to renovate public facilities as well as attract new travellers. We purposed an intervention called “tapestry scale 1:1” which captures the energy of its cultural landscape. It would be a kind of stone map which would help the visitant to see, discover, know and experience the cultural landscape. The second phase of the complete intervention has been a part of the path toward the Castle and the so called viewpoint 360º.

Cerro de las Torres（Towers’ hill）山上有一条通往城堡的小路，这条小路连接了城堡以及Arrabal城镇的主广场。在这条环路的主要转角处，即“拜苦路”（via crucis，耶稣身背十字架走向加尔瓦略山的路途）第八站的位置设有一个观景平台，可以俯瞰到Álora村庄的优美全景。
The path toward the castle which surrounds the Cerro de las Torres (Towers’ hill) joins the Castle with the Plaza de la despedía (main square of the Arrabal). In its main curve, where the 8th via crucis stop is, appears the viewpoint showing Álora’s landscape plenitude.

原先的道路并未得到很好的维护，朝向风景的一面墙壁被漆成了浅红棕色。在该项目中，新的游廊被打造为一条“石砌的地毯”。墙的设计旨在寻回一种“无形”的观感：下半部分由砂岩打造，与山体的色彩融为一体，上半部分则安装以空气般轻盈的栏杆。
The path was in a bad conservancy condition and the wall facing to the views painted in brown salmon colour. We have built the pavement as a stone carpet and the wall has been conceived looking for its “invisibility”. The lower part of the wall has been made in brown sandstone gabions with the colour of the hill. The upper part, the veranda is nearly an air vibration.

在靠近第八站的过程中，石砌路面的纹理变得愈加细腻，旁边的两个大理石座位提供了360º的观景视野。平台的内侧是美丽的自然景观：Guadalhorce的山谷、盆地和果树林；另一侧半挑出山腰，将当地重要的文化和自然景观尽收眼底，包括Jesús Nazareno de las Torres哥特式教堂、阿拉伯城堡、中世纪风格的村庄肌理以及高高耸立的Hacho山脉。
The stone path modifies its texture as it approaches to the 8th via crucis stop, two nearby marble seats and the viewpoint which suggests a dynamic 360º view. On one side, there is the natural landscape of valleys and the basin of the Guadalhorce with its orchards. On the other, thanks to our aerial position, we could link the main highlights of the cultural landscape: the Gothic chapel of Jesús Nazareno de las Torres, the Arab castle, and the medieval geometry of the village with the mount Hacho on its high.

材料的使用遵循它们自身的特性，材料的连接方式取决于项目的设计理念。

游廊的边缘是由取自当地的砂岩填充而成的石笼构成。金属边线显现出氧化的颜色，与石材的颜色呼应。游廊上半部分的栏杆有一种通透感，形成了无形的的边界，人们可以从这里毫无阻碍地欣赏到远处的风景。
The edge of the path is made by gabions filled by sandstone from the surroundings. The metallic bars show their oxidation colour as well as stones do. The upper part of the balustrade, empty, makes a nearly invisible limit which alouds looking through the far landscape.

由于铺地花岗岩的石材尺寸、纹理和明暗度皆不相同，整条路的铺地也展现出其特有的韵律。最中间的“地毯”是由中等大小、较粗糙的深色方形石头铺成，而两侧的收边是由平坦的小铺路石拼接而成。地毯将观者引向一块有着涟漪状肌理的深色铺地，其中心指向一块圆形的大理石——这便是拜苦路的第八站。在不远处，两个圆柱形大理石座椅介入道路中间，模拟了圣经中两位耶路撒冷妇女在耶稣去往加略山的路途上安慰他的场景。
The vibrating floor is defined thanks to the different sizes, texture and darkness of the paving stones of granite. The central “carpet” is done by mid size squared, rough and dark stones. It is flanked by small and flat paving stones. The carpet leads to a dark pavement area geometrized in circle waves whose epicentre is a circled piece of marble which points out the 8th stop of the via crucis. Close to it, two cylindrical seats show their impact on pavement, simbolizing the biblical scene where two women from Jerusalem comforted Jesus on its way to the Calvary.

观景台是通往城堡路上的一处冥想之地，同时也是文化景观的集结点。观景台的地面由金属板条构成，板条之间的缝隙使光线得以透过，形成独特的律动效果。细而直的栏杆支撑着较宽的金属扶手，扶手上的文字有的呈镂空雕刻状，有的则悬挑在空中。镂空雕刻的文字为旅行者讲述了当时的历史时期、重要人物和其他有趣的信息，而悬空的文字则指向各处景点的地理位置。
It is a stop on the way, a place for contemplation and an information point of the cultural landscape. Its floor is made of metallic plates creating a vibrating transparency. The balustrade is made by thin vertical bars supporting a width handrail which contains perforated and aerial texts. Perforated ones indicate historical periods, important persons or interesting data for the traveller, and the aerial ones point out special places of the landscape.

设计师修复了山坡上的一部分荒地。修复的内容主要是在山坡的底端种植一些低维护成本的灌木、薰衣草和刺山柑。
We have recovered some abandoned areas of the slope. Our work has focused on the lower part of the slope where there have been planted low maintenance bush masses; lavender, lavandula, and caper, capparis spinosa.

日落时分，通往城堡的道路会亮起方形的嵌入式地灯，带来独特的韵律。在复活节期间，栏杆之间还会摆放节日蜡烛。
At sunset, the way to the castle is marked by a rhythm of small lighting square pavement, placed between the stone ones. During Easter acts, there will be candles inside the balustrade.

设计师希望可以捕捉到这片场地的精髓，向游客提供一种感受Álora村庄历史和风景的全新方式。游廊和 360º观景台的存在则使得景观的价值和意义得到了充分的展现。
We would have liked having captured the essence of landscape and having shown to the traveller a new way of feeling the historical landscape of Álora. The path and the viewpoint underline the landscape making its values emerge.
