Nòah. Progetto per una cantina ad Altavilla Irpinia

The winery building is rustic and rational, free from lexical and structural virtuosities; earthy architecture, rough and persistent, conceived to serve its dwellers and their daily comfort. An architecture wanting to enhance the work of the human being, animal laborans capable "of transforming the nature according to his needs" the marxian Arbeitsvermögen. In Taurasi, on the hill above the Appia Traiana, one can see more than three hundred years of old grapevines clinging to a chestnut tree trunk. Each sìrica grape cluster - feracissima semina - bears stories of people and migration, perseverance and knowledge. Architecture can sometimes learn from the silent stubbornness of a forgotten plant.
