Time and time again, we see how technology has both inspired new possibilities for aspiring designers and generally democratized the design process. While some of these products are themselves a reflection of the digital age (the Glif comes to mind), Spain's Los Tres Juanes remind us that technology can also be used to revive traditional designs.

The video below documents their approach to preserving the gorgeous "Nasrid-inspired roof frameworks, Alfarjes (polygon-shaped painted ceilings) and Mudéjar-style coffered ceilings."

I don't know about "tasty" (1:34), but definitely quite elegant...

As per the video, machinery certainly facilitates the process, though Los Tres Juanes take a great deal of pride in their work, where their work embodies a high level of craftsmanship. Even better yet, they opt to use reclaimed lumber whenever possible, another nod to heritage as a design principle.
