Field note / Galicia

The architecture of air

Raised stone, repeated openings, Atlantic weather.

Air is part of the structure

Slotted walls let Atlantic wind dry the harvest without closing the building in.

Repetition makes a wall breathe

Equal bays turn ventilation into a measured rhythm, from Combarro to Carnota.

Lift the weight, keep the ground open

Granite piers raise the floor above damp earth and leave a clear passage for air.

Weather is a working material

Wet granite, mica flash, lichen and terracotta record the climate on every edge.
