Plenty of ambiental problems here in my country, difficult to
visualize, but plenty of them.
What causes me more negative impact is the kind of low quality
architecture people are using in villages of the interior country, in
contrast with all kind of excess in our capital. To much differences.
The part of the country that has more potential, is being lost for the
non existent-planning or mediocre planning.
Landscape invaded by caotic housing, caotic rock extraction etc, and
now the Aero-towers fever, as if there was no energetic alternatives.
I have photographed in VR a complete village at Alentejo that is now
under the waters of Guadiana river (Aldeia da Luz) after Alqueva dam
construction.
