  • Water Mill, built 2012-14, to grind grain to make flour for the bread ovens, at the Chateau de Guedelon, a castle built since 1997 using only medieval materials and processes, photographed in 2017, in Treigny, Yonne, Burgundy, France. The mill is built above a stream and has a watermill which powers a grindstone. The Guedelon project was begun in 1997 by Michel Guyot, owner of the nearby Chateau de Saint-Fargeau, with architect Jacques Moulin. It is an educational and scientific project with the aim of understanding medieval building techniques and the chateau should be completed in the 2020s. Picture by Manuel Cohen

  • Masia Freixa, built 1896, in the Parc de San Jordi, Terrassa, Catalonia, Spain. This modernist building was initially a spinning mill, at the time when Terrassa was an important centre for woollen fabrics during the industrial revolution. It was restored 1907-1914 by Louis Muncunill i Parellada, and became the family home of textile industrialist Joaquim Freixa i Argemi. Inspired by Gaudi, this building started Terrassenc modernism. The form combines traditional building and materials with modern Catalan vaults, shapes, and materials. Traditional arcades form porches on the south (seen here) and west sides, but with a parabolic shape first explored by Gaudi and windows that reflect this shape. The 4 storey octagonal white tower is embedded with crystals, reflecting traditional methods. Picture by Manuel Cohen
