Archicura at the Biennale, namely: The wine cathedrals. Meeting between two cultures.

“The encounter of the architecture with the culture of wine has led to the realization of numerous cellars that nowadays are symbols. The comparison with the different contributions constructed ​​in the national landscape will investigate the innovative path of transformation that these works have created in the enhancement of the places, culture or traditions. The Ordine degli Architetti Pianificatori Paesaggisti e Conservatori (editor’s note: chamber of Architects) of Rome and the National Institute of Architecture, as part of their institutional role as promoters of cultural debate and careful observers of the changes developed in the national culture, noticed how this encounter has led, over the last decade, to the realization of numerous wineries where the combination of the two components transformed the buildings into real architectural symbol. From this premise was born the desire to present the most significant projects, made in Italy, in the exhibition « The cathedrals of wine, the meeting of two cultures», collateral event of the 12. International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, with the aim of developing a cultural and scientific reflection on the themes of the wineries design and the wine production transformation. The exhibition will be an opportunity for comparison between the wide panorama national constructions and will be the first phase of a research that will lead to investigate the various areas of wine production. The designers selected, and their related works, are: Architect Renzo Piano | ARCHICURA – Dellapiana Bermond | Architect Walter Angonese | Architect Mario Botta | Studio Sartogo and Grenon | Cecchetto & Associates | Architect John Bo | Architect Gianni Arnaudo | Mr. Massimo Pagliari | Studio Valle Planners | Moretti Contract | Studio Archea | Architect Guido Boroli | Studio Ruffinoassociati | Cadeo Architecture | ARCHOS | Architect Werner Tscholl | Arch Fiorenzo Valbonesi | Zito + Mori | AT studio | Arch Agnese Mazzei | Studio Deabate | Architect Nicholas G.
