welcome to DaWeissBrau How does one design and document the plethora of ideas and decisions required in an architectural proposal? Does the traditional drawing set do justice to the myriad of experiences available, the unique site and environmental strategies enlisted, or the structural scheme considered?

Adventures at DaWeissBrau poses a possible solution to the schematic design of an integrated Brewery, Motel and neighborhood Pub. So grab a cold brew and enjoy!

Situated near the Exit 17 on Route 23 in Dundee, MI, DaWeissBrau exists as a figurative and literal bridge in a site with a contextual pairing:

DaWeiss BrAu

23-East [Dundee]: “Small town america” - one-square downtown next to a bend in the River Raisin [with requisite old mill].

A stop on Hwy 50 between Monroe + Jackson. Historically a farming/ agrarian community with mixed light industry.

Daweiss Pub

23-West [Perimeter]: Cabela’s Hunting Super-store has created its own context quite literally - all sites available for use around Exit 17 are owned by Cabela’s to promote their agenda.

Episode 1: to Cabela’s?

...”It took me four days to hitch-hike from Saganaw / I’ve come to look for America”...

Heading north along Rt. 23 just south of Dundee, MI...sometime in the near future

4

I just can’t wait to see this Elephant everyone’s talking about!

...”Laughin’ on the bus, playin games with the strangers”...

Kyle, Exit 17 is coming up...

Woah, what is that?!

5

This must be that new brewery DaWeissBräu...

Hey Let’s check it out!

...anyways, we have all weekend for Cabela’s!

6

Alright, alright, let’s do it!

9

That will be $3 per person, can I see your IDs?

Hi! We’d like to take the tour!

10

We’ll start in a few minutes, feel free to peruse the shop!

Hi folks, welcome to DaWeissBräu! My name is Arty - I’ll be your guide today.

If you’ll follow me to the Brew House...

11

We brew according to the German tradition of Reinheitsgebot - we only use water, barley, hops and yeast...

Here in the brew house malted barley is boiled in these tanks. We strain the mash feed that to the cows across the way...

This guy is full of it...

What a lame concept.

12

Our architect designed the building to respond to Reinheitsgebot: The Roof grows barley, the south wall is a green house for growing hops, and the remediation pond collects and filters our water.

Hops is then added to counter the sweetness of the malted barley...

The resulting liquid, called “wort� - is transferred to tanks below the gift shop.

Down here the yeast cultures are added to aid in fermenting the beer in these vats. Jason over there to my left is testing a sample in the lab

13

So, where are all the pipes? This space seems pretty clean and open for a brewery...

300BBL

The motel above us has vacancies now at $129 a night.

It’s a great time in here late at night!

Additionally - the double glass wall behind me regulates the temperature. we use it as greenhouse to grow our hops.

14

Seriously!

And what’s with this motel?! IN the brewery? Crazy!

Hey, get out from behind there! That’s a $500,000 piece of bottling equipment!

15

Bum Bu Bum, movin Beer!

Let’s go Tom! This truck ain’t gonna load itself!

16

Alrighty, we’ve reached the end of the line: Packaging, shipping and storage.

The room behind me is refrigerated storage.

Ok - you now have a choice to make:

Head back to the gift shop...

17

Or follow me over the roof to DaWeissPub for tasting!
