Abstract
Along the Alto Guadiana River, there is a collection of architectures built at different times and with diverse uses whose raison d’être is their special relationship with water. Most of these architectural pieces are today abandoned. This research aims to underline their value, highlight their relationship with water, and reflect on the opportunities they represent, understanding that they are key pieces of the landscape. This article presents a narrative that links the Architectures of Water with the ter-ritory and time in an intimate way, a relationship that appears by walking through the landscape, giving them a new meaning. Resignification manifests itself both as a whole, considering the architectures as a collection that informs the landscape, and as individual pieces that can offer opportunities for new forms of balance between humans and nature.
