Program
"Typological On-Site Investigations" Workshop
by Luis Feduchi and Iván Rando, with the participation of Carlota Eiros and Ángel Panero.
The research center ROAD, founded in Australia in 2011 and based in Berlin since 2018, organizes this summer the 2nd edition of the Architecture Workshop "Typological On-Site Investigations", in Galicia, Lugar Fontao, near Esteiro beach, Lugo.
Under this title, the workshop aims to develop the research carried out last summer in that region on A Casa Grande do S.XIX, a typology of rural housing that currently suffers a generalized state of abandonment and ruin.
To develop a working methodology applied to the typology being studied, the workshop includes two itineraries to study in detail and visit a series of exemplary contemporary interventions on the rural heritage of Galicia.
The full duration of the workshop is two weeks, from July 11 to 27, 2024.
Itineraries
Two itineraries with guided visits are planned as the starting and end points of the workshop. The first one, from July 11 to 13, runs through Santiago de Compostela and surroundings, and the second one, from July 25 to 27, through A Mariña Lucense, A Terra Chá and Rinlo.
In the first itinerary will visit the most significant works of Victor López Cotelo in the city of Santiago by the hand of his collaborator and partner Ángel Panero, as well as a tour of related local architecture scenarios.
The second itinerary will visit several large houses never catalogued in the Mariña Lucense, some of the Casas Grandes da Terra Chá, catalogued by Carlota Eiros, as well as his rehabilitation of the Casas de la Mirandilla in Rinlo.
