Text description provided by the architects. The faculty of architecture of CESUGA completed a wood and design workshop (during the III International Conference on Timber 2023), whose main goal was to promote the use of wood as a building material in the forestry region of Galicia, Spain, through education in design and construction techniques. An intervention on the ruins of a water mill became the starting point and main objective of the workshop that took place on Senda do Rio Sisalde (The Sisalde River trail), a wide valley that runs from the Atlantic coast, through agricultural land, productive forests, and the Fraga, a protected native forest rich in biodiversity, all the way to the top of the hills. The ruin, without a roof, was found exposed and partly collapsed, as a result of erosion by wind, rain, and vegetation.
