Product Description
Product Description
The popular image of the winery remains the picturesque European chateau, but a growing number of winemakers around the world are seeking a fresh approach. Architects are being challenged to rethink the winery as a bold contemporary expression of tradition and innovation, agriculture and technology, production and hospitality: powerful architecture with a serious purpose. This refreshing book by well-known architectural writer Michael Webb contains a selection of wineries designed by architects such as Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Renzo Piano, Steven Holl, Herzog & de Meuron, Santiago Calatrava, Rafael Moneo, Glenn Murcutt, Norman Foster, and more. Each project has been carefully chosen for its architectural excellence and offers a new perspective on an age-old craft and an adventurous approach to building. The locations are evocative: California, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Austria, Spain, Chile, and Argentina. The featured projects provide an introduction to the neophyte and are a delight for the connoisseur. Award-winning architectural photographer Erhard Pfeiffer's spectacular photography leads the reader to some of the most idyllic places on earth.

Great book!, 10 Jan 2011
By barbwathan924 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Adventurous Wine Architecture (Hardcover)
This is a great book for architects who also love wine! There are architectural drawings of each building, and the buildings are so cool! I got the book for my sister and her husband who live in California and are architects, but even the non-architects liked perusing this book! The book arrived on time, wrapped in plastic so I knew it was brand new, and it was in excellent condition!

Winw itsef is an adventure, 10 Feb 2007
By Asko Karttunen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Adventurous Wine Architecture (Hardcover)
The worldwide selection of good wines to-day is so varied and good-tasting that choosing among wines you never met before is like an adventure. Unfortunately many a wineyard owner is courageus enough to make wine which is of a different elk but everything else connected to these new wines is still wearing yesterday's suits and skirts. Why is that? Whatever the answer to that question is, the plain fact is that only a few chais or bodegas taste like the wine made inside. Books like this are good in making people understand what relation there is between the wine and the way its home looks.
