Architecture of Wine: 15 Contemporary Wineries Around the World

Wine production has long been tied to place, climate, and culture, and in recent decades, architecture has become a central part of this relationship. Wineries are no longer understood only as functional facilities for fermentation, storage, and distribution, but also as spaces where landscape, materiality, and visitor experience intersect. From subterranean cellars hidden beneath fields to sculptural landmarks rising in rural territories, these buildings shape the identity of winemaking regions while offering visitors a carefully choreographed encounter with the process of production.

The site, situated in Karjat against the backdrop of the hills, had the TATA spillway stream cutting through the land, making a 7m deep gorge in the middle. On the onset itself the project seemed to be burdened by a number of constraints: the two parcels of land had to be connected, but the foundations couldn't rest within the 100ft width of the spillway; we could make a habitable bridge, but there had to be enough clearance for a JCB to clean the 2 streams underneath; we wanted to make the bridge with local materials, but wild grass seemed to be the only material within a five-mile radius.

Buildner has announced the results of its international architecture ideas competition, Architect's Stair, and the launch of its third edition.

Borna-Park: A Community Shaped by Nature - At Borna-Park, life and work are intimately intertwined with the landscape. The site is surrounded by meadows, open fields, and the tree-lined Pfaffneren River. Nature provides more than a mere backdrop; it becomes the identity of the residential and working community.
