THE WALLED GARDEN

CISSBURY VINEYARDS

Cissburt, England UK

Cissbury Vineyards is a winery situated amongst south downs of West Sussex in the Southeast of England. I grew up in the area and know the site well.

The basis of the projects rests on the increasing temperatures caused by climate change and how people will adapt to it. In the last two decades some agricultural entrepreneurs in this area of England have seen the change in climate as on opportunity to grow new crops, especially wine.

Winemaking is not new to Sussex and the project seeks to revive it in a modern yet sensitive way that engages with the community and the local natural surroundings. The architecture is made of materials sourced close by and will echo the vernacular agricultural architecture of West Sussex and England as a whole, this will however be done with modern building materials and design techniques.

As a social concept the winery seeks to become a walled a garden, a place of gathering and of shelter and this is reflected in the architecture of the courtyard typology.

The meta narrative of the project is such; In a time when so much of man has caused harm and damage to the world, a small few saw this as an opportunity to gather and drink wine in the sun.

Site Context

West Sussex

Hampshire

Surrey

West Sussex is a historic county located in the South East of England, known for its picturesque landscapes, rich history, and charming towns. Bordered by Hampshire to the west, Surrey to the north, and East Sussex to the east, West Sussex boasts a diverse mix of coastal areas, countryside, and urban centres.

Chichester serves as the county town and is renowned for its impressive cathedral, which dates back to the 11th century. The city is also home to the Festival Theatre, a prominent venue for the performing arts. Arundel, another notable town, features a medieval castle and a Gothic cathedral, offering a glimpse into the county’s architectural heritage.

The coastline of West Sussex stretches along the English Channel, providing residents and visitors with access to beautiful beaches and seaside attractions. The seaside town of Worthing is particularly popular, offering a classic British seaside experience with its pier, parks, and vibrant cultural scene.

The South Downs, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, covers a significant portion of West Sussex. This rolling chalk downland is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, offering hiking, cycling, and horseback riding opportunities along scenic trails.

Agriculture has played a crucial role in West Sussex’s economy, with the county known for its farming activities. Additionally, towns like Crawley have developed as economic hubs, especially due to their proximity to Gatwick Airport, one of the busiest airports in the UK.

West Sussex has a mix of traditional and modern elements, making it an attractive place to live and visit. Its combination of natural beauty, historical landmarks, and economic vitality contributes to its appeal as a well-rounded English county.

Site Location

Cissbury Ring

Cissbury Ring is a Late Iron Age hill fort north of Worthing. It was built around 400 BC and has a max elevation of 185m. The top of the hill within the rampart ring was first used as a living area within the fortress including burial grounds to the East. The surrounding area was once wild woodland yet over the last 2000 has become farmland and now golf-course, within the last 500 years parts of the south face has come to be known as Vineyard Hill.

With the increased temperature due to climate change and modern viticultural heritage of the region, Cissbury ring is the perfect place to build a new Vineyard and Winery. It will be a social nexus, cause of economic growth and a socio-agricultural catalyst for the region.

West Sussex Wine

The story so far

The history of wine fermentation in West Sussex traces back to ancient times, with evidence suggesting viticulture and winemaking practices dating back to the Roman era. Production continued to the early middle ages until the climate cooled too much for grapes to be reliably grown. With the increasing temperatures from global warming viticulture is seeing a revival in much of England. The time-line below illustrates it.

Around this time hill forts like Cissbury ring were built and used as fortifications and later for agriculture

1100 AD

Battle Abbey stops producing its own wine for communion

Pre-modern wine production reaches peak during medieval warm period. 39 Vineyards recorded in Doomsday book.

Environmental Context

Climate change now and in the future

Mean Average Temp. 1961 - 1990

As temperatures have increased due to climate change the South East of England has quickly become one of the hottest places of the UK. West Sussex in particular is now regularly registering record temperatures.

Met Office records all show how the UK has become much hotter over the last half century. In the next 50 years, even allowing for upper and lower mean variation, the UK will have the climate currently found in the Iberian Peninsula. For the purposes of this project I will use the central mean as the best climate prediction for the UK.

Average Temp. 1991 - 2020

Max. Temp. 2023

All major vineyards in England are located in the south where the temperatures are the hottest and the increase will be the greatest.

Research Visit 1: Wiston Estate Winery

Agricultural roadside refit

On a short visit to the public facing area of the Wiston wine estate I got to look at how many pre existing agricultural buildings can be re-purposed to become a winery.

The overall architecture of the winery area is still very industrial and ad hoc where the restaurant and shop are more pleasant. The structural expressions of the traditional architecture helped maintain an atmosphere of agricultural production while also being welcoming.

Summary:

+Good public facing areas

+Traditional architecture feels familiar

+Refit and re-use

-Industrial un-beautiful winery

-Roadside location

-Off the shelf architecture, could be anything

Ridgeview is a more recent and purpose built winery in the East Sussex yet the architecture is still industrial and un appealing. In the back of house it was evident how much of the scale of the architecture was defined by the large pieces of equipment such as the vats and corking machines.

Research Visit 3: Plumpton College

Rural Warehouse Winery

The only place in the country where people can receive degrees in oenology and viticulture is Plumpton, a local agricultural sixth form college.

The syllabus is a very technical and requires not just normal classrooms but labs and libraries; the building containing these is a strange and ill fitted building with little architectural merit

Structural Fragment - Elstow Moothall

Half Timbering - English Vernacular Architecture

The main structural precedent of the Cissbury Vineyards Winery is the traditional post and beam architecture of rural England known as Half Timbering. Much of the local historical architecture is made in this manor including many farm buildings, befitting the agricultural nature of the project.

Half timbering consists of a wooden frame with brick infill, all openings such as windows and doors are integrated into the dimensions of the frame. A prime example of half-timbering is the Moothouse in Elstow, Essex.

Structural Fragment - Battle Abbey

Buttressing - English Monastic Architecture

The last place in the UK where wine was produced before the middle ages was Battle Abbey. The dormitory building where the monks would live drink and socialise is a large stone buttressed building with a large open central space, wide spanning roof (now gone) and small openings between the buttresses.

Due to the limitations of building technology at the time glass pains could only be so big, restricting the size of the windows.

In combining the heaviness of the stone architecture of battle abbey and the lightness of the post and beam architecture of the elstow moothouse I created these fragments that varied in scale and dimension.

In fragment 3 I specifically explored transparency and material palette and how a structure can graduate from heavy to light over a gradient.

The restricted material palette and traditional geometry are successful, the resultant architecture is however extremely archaic and pastiche.

Sparkling Wine : The Process

From grapes to glass

Harvesting

Grapes are cut off the vine by hand to ensure no part of the vine is torn or damaged. This normally happens mid september with Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grapes.

Pressing

The grapes are pressed gently so the skin breaks and releases juice while keeping the seeds in tact, preserving the flavour of the grape

Aging

Riddling

Still in the cellar, the bottles are placed at a 35 degree angle and turned up to 25 weeks over 4-6 weeks so the lees collects at the head of the bottle

Disgorgement

The second fermentation takes a minimum of 15 weeks up to a couple of years in a climate controlled cellar.

Through complex machine process the head of the wine bottle is frozen so the lees turn into a solid plug, the temporary cork is the removed and the lees plug is fired out. The bottle is rotated and re-corked, minimal wine is lost in the process.

32 Advanced Architectural Design 23108943 - Will Pope - Y4 2023 - 2024

1st Fermentation

The grape juice is first fermented with yeast in oak barrels to bring the dry wine or cuvee up to 10.5% alc. content.

Blending

The different dry wines are blended to create balanced and harmonious flavours. Each harvest from each year will have its own flavour making it a vintage sparkling wine.

2nd Fermentation

The vintages are then bottled for their second fermentation with sugar and more yeast.

Readjustment

The bottle is placed back into the cellar after the recorking so the wine can re-stabilise after the photo/thermal shock of disgorgement and recorking.

Finishing

Once the wine has stabilised it can be labeled and packaged for shipping and selling.

Winery: Process and Spaces

The beginning of the concept

These early parts of the wine process centre on the liquid cuvée, the natural gradient of the site can be exploited to form a process known as ‘gravity wine making’. For this each space will need to be arranged down the slope of the hill so the wine may flow.

Wine cellars need to have consistent environments and large amounts of storage space while also containing equipment for movement and disgorgement and re-adjustment of bottles. This space needs to either subterranean or insulated by the rest of the building mass.

The public face of the winery where the bottles are shipped, bought or tasted on site will require the most natural daylight and social space.

As a social nexus the winery will be arranged around a garden, a social space filled with local flora and fauna.

Where the winery and restaurant are the dynamic manifestations of the wine process from grape to glass, the school is a static and solid bank of viticultural knowledge where the new age of English wine will be cultivated.

Massing Concept

The Walled Garden of Earthly Delights

1. The basis of the concept lies in the combination of social space and a natural space...

2. ...which is a garden.

3. The garden must be protected from the elements by a wall. The space is now protected, private, and exclusive.

4. It is in the wall that the functions of programme will live, making the mass of the building alive and architectural.

7. ... by all having direct site and access to it. Visitors, students, oenologists and other staff will meet in the garden.

5. Some of the large interior functions will be expressed in the facade and plan, the wall is now truly a building.

8. As a continuous building envelope the identity of the winery as a holistic entity will be preserved.

6. The different zone of the building have their own entrances and exits, yet unified in their relationship to the garden...

9. Yet people of all walks of like, drinker or not shall walk through its doors to play in the garden of earthly delights.

Massing Genesis

From concept to construct

4. The winery wraps around the massing of the cellar and runs along the western edge of the garden. Its vertical layout allows for gravity wine-making.

2. The site is terraced to make way for piling and foundations, all displaced earth mass is used to make the wine garden

5. The school fits on top of the cellar and to the east garden to fully protect the garden on its flanks.

3. The cellar is placed behind the garden, due to the terracing it sits deep in the landscape

6. The restaurant and tasting room complete the enclosure of the building make the forward facade of the winery.

8. Floor plates and routes of access for the different programmatic functions in one unified structure.

Material Sourcing

The basis of the material selection lies in proximity and simplicity. All vernacular architecture in Sussex is made with local materials specifically timber and stone ,Cissbury Vineyards will continue this tradition by only using materials sourced within a 50km radius of the site.

The map below shows the geological make up of West Sussex, illustrating the abundance of Limestone and Sandstone and Chalk.

CRAFTED HORIZONS 2024

At the center of Unit 14’s academic exploration lies Buckminster Fuller’s ideal of the ‘The Comprehensive Designer’, a master-builder that follows Renaissance principles and a holistic approach. Fuller referred to this ideal of the designer as somebody who is capable of comprehending the ‘integrateable significance’ of specialised findings and is able to realise and coordinate the commonwealth potentials of these discoveries while not disappearing into a career of expertise. Like Fuller, we are opportunists in search of new ideas and their benefits via architectural synthesis. As such Unit 14 is a test bed for exploration and innovation, examining the role of the architect in an environment of continuous change. We are in search of the new, leveraging technologies, workflows and modes of production seen in disciplines outside our own. We test ideas systematically by means of digital as well as physical drawings, models and prototypes. Our work evolves around technological speculation with a research-driven core, generating momentum through astute synthesis. Our propositions are ultimately made through the design of buildings and through the in-depth consideration of structural formation and tectonic. This, coupled with a strong research ethos, will generate new and unprecedented, one day viable and spectacular proposals. They will be beautiful because of their intelligence - extraordinary findings and the artful integration of those into architecture.

The focus of this year’s work evolves around the notion of ‘Crafted Horizons’. The term aims to highlight the architect’s fundamental agency and core competency of the profession to anticipate the future as the result of the highest degree of synthesis of the observed underlying principles. Constructional logic, spatial innovation, typological organisation, environmental and structural performance are all negotiated in a highly iterative process driven by intense architectural investigation. Through the deep understanding of constructional principles, we will generate highly developed architectural systems of unencountered intensity where spatial organisation arises as a result of sets of mutual interactions. Observation as well as re-examination of past and contemporary civilisatory developments will enable us to project near future scenarios and position ourselves as avant-garde in the process of designing a comprehensive vision for the forthcoming. The projects will take shape as research based, imaginative architectural visions driven by speculation.
