ADEGA MAYOR

ALVARO SIZACAMPO MAIOR, PORTUGAL

2006

The 131 x 394 foot rectangular winecellar has been built within the existingspace and features 30 foot high, almostwindowless walls. The visitor and delivery

accesses are on the south west corner ofthe building. A second floor has access to apanoramic terrace that offers surroundingviews of the vineyard. The delivery baysare located on the opposite end of theterrace space. The area between the twohighest points, houses the productionline and the shaded warehouse.

There are three passive strategies

used to reduce the thermal loadsat Adega Mayor. First, the building’sexterior is entirely white, andtherefore sunlight is reflected awayfrom the building’s surface. Second,the structure and walls are made ofconcrete which has a high thermalmass and reduces the transmissionof thermal energy. Third, AdegaMayor has a green public terrace andreflecting pond above the winery.The grass on the roof absorbs thesunlight and also serves as goodnatural insulation.

2008

The O. Fournier family creates wines allover the world, but its wine-productionfacility in the Uco Valley is the mostarchitecturally significant. The building

is located in a famous wine-producingregion in Western Argentina, and createsa gravitational process with the useof a three level building. This allowsfor the use of the earth as a thermalbarrier and allows for stacking of thethree major steps in wine-production.The building is constructed mostly

of concrete, and creates a strongpresence against its mountain backdrop.

The combination of high elevation,alluvial soils, irrigation sourcedfrom the Andes Mountains, along growing season, and vasttemperature differences between

day and night are all conduciveto growing quality wine grapes.

PROCESS

Stacking the wine-production

process allows for an effidient useof building space, but also limitshuman interaction with wineproduction. The wine enters thefacility after being driven up a ramp.Then it is crushed and immediatelyplaced in fermentors. The fermentedwine is then placed in aging barrels

in the subterranean cellar. The thickconcrete walls serve to insulate, andmaintain the temperatures requiredto chill and maintain the wine.

Natural light makes the pale

limestone skin look light and airy,and makes the pavilions almostinvisible against the vineyard.

A shading system diffuses lightinto the wine cellar, keeping thenecessary low-level of light inorder to maintain temperature and

humidity to age the wine in barrels.

Large overhangs on the exteriorserve to mimic the row of vineswithin the vineyard, and allow thecreation of dimly-lit spaces andlight shadows cast on the polishedconcrete walls.

THERMAL

The Faustino site in the Ribera delDuero has extremely cold winters,as well as hot summers with limitedrainfall. To maintain the desiredconditions, the wings containingthe barrel and bottle cellars arepartly dug into the sloping site.Embedding the building in this wayhelps to create favorable thermalconditions for the ageing processand is an essential part of a passiveenvironmental strategy. Doing this inconjunction with the thermal massproperties of the concrete structureserves to regulate the internalclimate. The deep overhang of theroof canopy, which incorporates

photovoltaic cells, provides shadeand reduces the thermal loads fromthe sun.

WEINSTEIN VAADIA ARCHITECTSISRAEL, KIBBUTZ YIRON, GALILEE2000

This winery serves as both a factory forthe production of the wine but also as avisitor’s center to expose this process tothe public. A challenge in this concept isthe Jewish dietary laws that forbid any

non-religious person to touch thewine until it is bottled. In order toaccommodate this, there was the needto completely seperate the public andprivate funtions during certain stagesof the wine making process. The planof the building is therefore basedon its paths of circulation: one route

for the wine, another for the visitors.

The Wine Center’s design concept isderived from the geometry of the winevaults. The simple 24m x 24m x 17m volumeis cut and sliced to create a rich geometry.Some of the deep cuts are glazed inrecycled bottle glass with rich green huesthat cast their lustrous light on the interior.

Partially set into the earth of the vineyard,the slight forward tilt of the structureindicates its subterranean connectionby ramp to the antique vault system.Upon entering, the visitor perceives a

wonderful volume of space and steps outto the vineyard and past a café. A footpath leads down to the entrance of thevault system. The return journey is madethrough a ramped passage dappled withlight refracted through a reflecting pool.

Novelty Hill’s destination winery is acontemporary design celebrating wine’sagrarian roots as well as the artistry offine winemaking. The honest use of a fewsimple materials, primarily concrete, glassand wood, blend the building’s interior

space to showcase the wine with thesite’s landscape, inviting the outside “in”.The design is a constant reminder thatwine is inextricably linked with the earth.Extensive gardens seamlessly flow intothe winery’s private meeting rooms. Thepublic tasting bar overlooks a barrel agingroom and small-lot fermentation tanks. It isa winery that celebrates the art and scienceof wine while remaining true to the land.

Housed in an old warehouse in SouthMelbourne, the dark grey stucco wall ispunctured by a central glass entrance.Inside, irregular walls are camouflagedby raw white ash timber slats inspiredby wine packaging. Breaks in the slats

house meticulously organized winedisplays. Wood trusses float above, andbeyond them the ceiling and ductwork ispainted black so as to disappear. Connellwanted guests to feel as if they were beingimmersed in a wine barrel or wine crate.A “Cellar Pod” made of wood, steel andglass is placed in the middle of the space.

The room is temperature and humiditycontrolled and features a 20 person woodtable that is used for tastings and seminars.

The winery consists of one buildingwhich houses the administration,production, and storage facilities. Themost notable, the barrel storage/cellar,is located underground, and holdsseveral hundreds (capacity of 2,500

barrels) of barrels as the wine ages.

The main room resembles anamphitheater with a large space in thecenter designed with the purpose ofbeing a tasting room. An aperture in thecenter of the room brings in natural light,completing even more a theatrical sense.

The upper floor consists of an open plaza,the indoor space consisting of glass as aprimary building material, and holdsadministrative and public spaces.

The wine cellar, which houses thebarrels used in the wine agingprocess and must therefore be adarker area, has a square occulusin the center which releases lightinto the space. The darkness issupplemented by windows on only

one side of the cellar.

The light also serves to distinguishpublic vs. private spaces. The cellar,a private room reserved for the winemaker and occasional VIP events isdarker. Whereas the glass walls onthe pavilion on the rooftop plaza

helps highlight this as an open,public space.

2003 2004

The winery was completed in 2004 aftera construction phase of only one year. Thesensitive location in the midst of the Joisvineyards required special attention toplanning. The concept of the architectsGernerºGerner Plus took advantage of thefavorable earth climate: the major part

of the L-shaped building was cut deeplyinto the earth, covered with soil and asfar as possible replanted with grapes.The visible part with the building,the tasting lounge seems to hoveron slim V-shaped pillars over theground. The large window opens tothe vineyards and the mountain rangeand at night it becomes a landmark.Eight northern-facing, pyramidal roofwindows allow for natural light toilluminate the underground productionhall. Inside, glass walls allow visitors aview into the various working areas.

STRUCTURAL STEEL


100/111

Steel frame usually refers to a buildingtechnique with a “skeleton frame” ofvertical steel columns and horizontalI-beams, constructed in a rectangulargrid to support the floors, roof and wallsof a building which are all attached to theframe. The rolled steel “profile” or cross

section of steel columns takes the shapeof the letter “H”. The two wide flanges ofa column are thicker and wider than theflanges on a beam, to better withstandcompressive stress in the structure. Squareand round tubular sections of steel canalso be used. Steel beams are connectedto the columns with bolts and threadedfasteners. The central “web” of the steel “I“-beam is often wider than a column web

to resist the higher bending momentsthat occur in beams.

PRECAST CONCRETE

ADVANTAGES


102/111

Precast concrete is a construction productproduced by casting concrete in a reusablemold or “form” which is then cured in acontrolled environment, transported tothe construction site and lifted into place.In contrast, standard concrete is pouredinto site-specific forms and cured on site.

Precast stone is distinguished from precastconcrete by using a fine aggregate in themixture, so the final product approachesthe appearance of naturally occurringrock or stone.

A cast-in-place concrete wall system isan exposed structural system that cansometimes also serves as the exteriorwall. Openings or penetrations in thestructural system are generally infilledwith windows, masonry, or some othercladding material. Cast-in-place concrete

wall systems are generally defined bythe building’s structural system, whichconsists of the vertical (gravity) loadresistant system and the lateral (windand seismic) resistant system. The verticalload resistant system may be furthersubdivided into the horizontal framing(floor system) and the vertical framing(column and walls). The lateral resistantsystem includes moment resisting

frames, shear walls, braced frames, or acombination of these systems.
