Through graffiti made on the walls, the young people became aware of the architecture, heritage, town planning and landscape of the municipal capital, Fonte Díaz. They painted 65 square meters of fences. The activity manages to generate an identity bond among the youngest with their locality of origin.

BEYOND. The first image that comes to mind of an architect to any mortal is that of a professional who gives shape to the buildings we live in or use in our day to day life. But the work of Sandra González goes a step further, and what she seeks with her project A Vila do Maña is that the new generations become aware of this profession, but also of the heritage, urbanism and landscapes that they have before their eyes be able to be playful. Thus, in Fonte Díaz (Touro) he put the kids to do graffiti before a talk to contextualize the projects they were going to undertake… and all with one ultimate goal: from knowledge, to generate an identity bond between neighbors from ten years and the core population in which they develop their day to day in a comprehensive, but also critical way.
