A space container, a static valley containing liquid space - liquid architecture. It is a thirst movement in the underground surface, moving through gravity laws. How can we move being standstill? Like an animal covered in the ground, the system serves its way, creating two different paths: the movement of the visitors, invisible to the workers, never crossed by foot, they only meet in a visual passage.

The project has this skin, sand skin, earth skin, dive in the materiality of wine production - fluidity as a way to produce and absorb.

The construction principles follow the fases in wine making process. In the same way that the fruit is smashed to become liquid matter, the building is smashed under the surface, moving from space to space in the various functions, until the fermentation is complete. Afterwards, the resting fase…waiting behind the glass.

A narrative between floors, through large glasses, in a void space in the centre, a large helical ramp in light direction, creates the path guidelines. Inside the production part of the building structure, there’s a room designated white room. the white thirst cleaner room - where the scientific process happens and the materiality goes along. This ocre, sand, opaque and mixed texture component, covers the walls, the pavement and the ceiling, turning the building part of the earth. When the function turns into scientific(al) matters - the physical chemistry is white light.

The structure appears to be the continuation of the landscape and blends into it along all its extension. Interior /exterior, natural/artificial, we have no immediate contact with. In the central patio, where all paths cross, moving around the whole so we can understand it: At some point, in space, we loose gravity. When we go beyond this imaginary ring, we start to happen in space, without interfering with its surfaces.

At 40m depth, respecting the wine pulp, and the most innovative techniques, the unground conditions make it possible to preserve the wine quality, colder and stable. Wine gravity in wine making-process.

The angles of the walls turned into chimneys of light, translated solar orientation into form of light. Marking the void into a light object, a polygon that moves in the same path every day . The seed, or the root, giving a life to a liquid matter.

An excavation time volume preserve’s the landscape characteristics, not only on the surface, but equally on the underground field (…) The most defined and bigger rocks, stayed where they were. The first rock that marked the place is steel hidden in the gravity tunnels.

An underground that whispers to the surface -Wine Gravity.
