Architecture 3a, Trimester 1, 2010
“Wine and architecture have a long history together. If architecture is frozen music, then wine is liquid weather. Each transmutes
something into a whole greater than the sum of its parts.”
Mick Moloney, Barwon Ridge Winery, 2004
TERROIR
Programme
Architecture 3a, Trimester 1, 2010
STUDIO OBJECTIVE
The architecture of wine has become a significant design problem with the continuing boom in the wine industry. This
studio will address the architecture associated with wine making within the Australian context, an overview of the
processes involved and the concept of terroir. The notion of Terroir refers to “all the elements of a vineyard”. Creating a
good quality wine relies on the successful combination of many factors, range widely from soil conditions to bottle
marketing.
The Winery project challenges students to address the wide range of issues in architectural design such as:
• social, cultural and physical contexts
• environmental and civic responsibilities
• usersʼ needs
• formal and spatial compositions
• material realisation and construction techniques
• accurate communication / presentation
This studio aims to prepare you for employment as an architectural assistant and for the rigour of a higher professional
degree, the Master of Architecture, with a focus on the process of design and decision making in the real world.
At the end of the trimester you should aim to be able to demonstrate the following:
Conceptual and Compositional
 Develop a sophisticated architectural response to a design brief
 Develop an architectural language consistent with the stated aims of the subject
 To consider both internal and external spaces within an urban landscape
 Respond appropriately to the conditions of an enclosed and contained site
 Maintain a consistent and coherent vision for all aspects of the design from general spatial arrangement to
details and visual presentation
Technical
 Integrate construction techniques with conceptual and aesthetic aims
 Select and communicate material finishes and design details consistent with your conceptual and aesthetic aims
 Accommodate the physical needs of the users of different ability and mobility
 Address issues of environmental sustainability using passive solar design principles of sensible orientation and
shading of openings and through the choice of materials
Communication
 Communicate your design decisions using measured hard-line plans, sections and elevations and to organise
these on presentation sheets suitable for exhibition in a clear and informative way
 Imagine the experiential consequences of design decisions and communicate these visually in a legible and
convincing manner using models and perspective and projective drawings
 Craft your presentations with a knowledge of composition, drawing conventions and available technical and
conceptual means
 Select appropriate media, graphics and drawing techniques as an opportunity to further your design intentions
Critical Awareness
 Critically evaluate your own design process and decisions, respond to feedback and make appropriate
improvements (but not necessarily a total redesign!)
 Verbally and graphically articulate and present your work to a group and respond to questions and criticisms in
a thoughtful way
 Understand and respond to the design propositions of others with interest, support and awareness of their
aims
Programme
Architecture 3a, Trimester 1, 2010
Studio Emphasis
This studio places an emphasis on the concept of “terroir” in the design of a winery. The key framework for the studio is
the development of the conceptual idea and the subsequent development of the project based on that idea. Students
are expected to keep to their idea and work through the problems presented in lectures and studio.
Brief. The development of a brief will involve the identification of the needs, proximity, groupings, desirable
characteristics of the winery to the surrounding built environment. There is a drive in this studio to really consider the
users and their relationship to the various spaces, inside and outside, and functions of a Winery. This would involve the
development of a winery brief including the process of wine production such as wine storage, fermentation, ageing and
bottling; the process of wine marketing including cellar door, hospitality and other associated functions. The
development of the brief will be done in Groups with feedback from studio tutors.
Site. The site for the studio is the Barwon Ridge Vineyard in the Moorabool Valley. The address of the vineyard in 59
McMullens Road, Barrabool Victoria 3221 Australia. Barwon Ridge is a small family run vineyard in the Barrabool Hills
just 10 minutes west of Geelong. This vineyard is one of a small number re-establishing in the Barrabool Hills after an
absence of over 100 years. The vineyard is planted on a limestone ridge above the Barwon River and has sweeping views
over the You Yangs and the plains to the west, and glimpses of Corio Bay to the east. Information on the site such as a
google image and cad plan are on DSO.
Attendance. There are to be a 1 hour lecture and a 3 hours studio session per week on Wednesdays (SRD 333/363
students). Studios will be conducted so that students will be allocated with a tutorial group and tutor with whom you will
be working and cooperating with during the semester. Lectures are designed to work hand-in-hand with the stage of the
design studio work at hand.
Additional modules (Fridays). There will be studio/presentations on Fridays for SRD 363 students only. In addition to the
design project, they will be required to complete two modules. The first module will involve detailed site and brief
analysis. The second module will involved detailed precedent analysis through comparison of two winery designs. Please
note that the modules require additional research over and above the design project. The output of the modules will be
in visual form and incorporated into the design project submissions.
Assessment. This project is to be seen in its totality from the beginning. The assessment will be through an Interim
Submission (30%) and the Final Submission (60%). 10% of the assessment will be through the electronic folio submitted
at the end of the trimester. Progressive feedback would be given during studio through weekly tutorials.
