La Opinión A Coruña 19/08/2018 “Sandra González, who works as an architect in her A Coruña studio, takes the site between San Andrés and Mantelería streets to the Biennial, where she designed a “manufacturing laboratory“, a complex dedicated to the production of designs and inventions embodied in an open-plan building with exterior coloured stairs that will generate an “urban revival“. But not only that project bears her signature in the Spanish virtual and physical pavilion.“
La Voz de Galicia 18/08/2018 “The “A vila do mañá” program teaches more than a hundred children to have fun and learn in public spaces.“

Children claim their right to be able to play in the Villagarcian streets
TVG 07/08/2018 “One hundred children between 3 and 12 years old participate during this week in Vilagarcía in the workshops of “A Vila do Mañá“. It is a project that aims to discover, playfully, the vision that children have of the cities in which they live and to introduce ideas to modify them.
The project is based on an idea of the city in which cars rejected people. The ribbons in the old fish market square of Vilagarcía symbolize urban obstacles.
Children explore the playful side, make it their own, and tomorrow they will invade a street to create their own leisure space.“
Xornal de Vigo e Comarcas 05/08/2018 “The workshop was led by the award-winning architect Sandra González Álvarez and her team (PØSTarquitectos). Throughout these five days, concepts such as the invasion of spaces through games, frames, mirrors, lines and ribbons, three-dimensional elements and balloons were worked on, with the idea of seen the town as a space for citizens and not as a threat, as is usually the case.”
La Voz de Galicia 04/08/2018 “Designed by the company Post Arquitectos, “A Vilagarcía do mañá“ will turn the city into a playground where children can act from a new point of view, by walking and observing, the movement and the activation of their senses as basic tools. Let’s take some examples. The little participants will transmit their feelings about the city through drawings and, in their own way, they will be the ones who mark the first tours of its streets and squares. They will transform some of these spaces, A Peixería, without going any further, with different elements that they will be able to manipulate and value, even balloons that will finally make them explode as in a particular “mascletá“. With them, they will invade places that are normally forbidden to them.”
Faro de Vigo 04/08/2018 “Vilagarcía City Council is immersed in a new initiative for local children. This time it is a totally different project, an architecture, urban planning and landscape workshop for children and youth with which they want to raise awareness among the little ones about the importance of feeling and enjoying cities. This is stated by the promoters of this project, which is titled “A Vila do Mañá”, and which will take place next week through the streets of the city.”
Diario de Arousa 04/08/2018 “Promoting its idea of “city model“ and prioritizing pedestrians over vehicles, the local government launches “A vila do mañá“ initiative. The proposal, aimed to children between 3 and 9 years old, seeks to return the smallest of the house to the streets, where in the past they were enjoyed with games and friends. “Currently children live in boxes, houses, and move to other boxes such as schools and playgrounds and do not really enjoy the city“, explained the mayor of Urban Planning, Paola María. That is why this department and the Youth one, led by Sonia Outón, will launch a series of workshops to be held between August 6 and 10.”
Xornal Galiciasur 03/08/2018 “The activity was held this week and helped children to reflect on the town planning from a more participatory perspective. About thirty kids between 5 and 12 years old participated throughout this week in the urban planning workshop ‘A Vila do Mañá’ which finished this Friday, and which thought on another way of understanding the villages and places we live. The council of urbanism, led by Martín Villanueva, is grateful for the collaboration of parents who decided to target the children in this activity “whose goal was to promote the relationship with heritage and urbanism from an early age”.“
Faro de Vigo 31/07/2018 “Since yesterday about thirty children have participated in “A vila do mañá“ workshops, a set of activities that aim to bring the world of urban planning closer to the youth. The objective is that they participate actively in the construction processes of common spaces and that they can understand concepts such as space, city or the place where they live.“
