WATCH TOWER IN VINEYARD
This Thesis proposes a new design of a winery in Cumbum valley, Theni district ,Tamilnadu.The aim is to strengthen the social character of district while integrating cultural functions as well as attracting tourists to this defined landscape. Wine is the core of the design ,so the spaces has been thoughtfully designed so that the production is clearly organized and not compromised .In the same sense ,different sets of experiences for visitors have to be continuously and thoughtfully build up. The contrasts between the industrial and natural landscape with well-considered flows have formed a driving force for the design. Furthermore, the passive cooling techniques has been constantly informing the architectural decisions so a truly integrated design has been achieved. The design focuses on the relationship of winery and vineyard ,this proposal is an exploration of the boundaries between man made architecture and natural landscape. The design has a strong relation with the adulating terrain ,using natural material ,natural energy and allow the natural landscape to be the main focus. Inconsiderate layout in many wineries allow energy saving simply by passive means The strong contrast between wine as a trigger of emotions and wine as an industrial product resonated with our wish for trying something we haven’t dealt with. The openness of the theme allows for imagination but on the other hand professional wineries is nowadays an industrial facility which demands both technological process and indoor environment. These two poles do not exclude each other but they can mutually complement each other and create integrated architectural solutions. PATHWAY CONNECTING DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS
CONCEPT: The concept of the design is dirived from the symboitic relation of nature and build up.Winery is an industry which cant sustain without the cultivated landscape.wine is a product of its landscape.The primary goal of the project is the integration of engineering solutions with architectural principles.following this method,the design should not only be asthetically appealing ,but also fullfilling demanding requirements for the comfort and energy performance. CIRCULATION AND ZONING: zoning is done in such a way that there is separate entry for visitors and ser vice entry,visitors center and accommodation facilities are oriented towards vineyards.Separate buildings for different functions which connects through pathways.building are zone alone the slope of the terrian.Visitors are welcomed to the visitors center through the vineyards and winery is zoned behind in a humble manner.Separate parking for visitors and worker are provided .The mater planning is done alike planning of Agraharam house. The spaces follows linear organization. Traditional Kerala architectural feature are the prominent part of the design.Thick stone walls are provided in the winery so that take acts as thermal wall and protect the interior from the sun light and heat. Natural lighting is done using skylights and light shelfs.Stone ,brick and Mangalore tile are the main materials used for the facade where as steel member are used for structural stability.
