Marble Quarry in Vila Viçosa, Matyas Enz

Every year thirty thousand pilgrims walk the 610 km Caminho Português from Lisbon north to Santiago da Compostela seeking to the strengthen the spirit. In 2018 we followed our own pilgrimage of material production also beginning in Lisbon, travelling north tracing the production of ceramics, stone and wood from quarry to the floors and walls of Portuguese architecture. We saw the distinctive pink-hued marble being extracted at Estremoz and later its masterful use by Alvaro Siza. Artists, manufacturers and architects guided us around their cities and landscapes leading us to the architecture of Tavora, Siza and Souto de Moura, the three generations who have shaped Portuguese architecture as we know it today. We witnessed see how nature and manufacturing not only form the foundation for some of the most distinctive contemporary architecture, but also how they guide a culture out of the deepest economic travails of recent times.
