Redesigning the Chianti territory: "Spazio diVino" International Prize is part of "The Cathedrals of Wine | Architecture and wine: the encounter of two cultures" project
The "Spazio diVino" Competition aims to discover and redesign the routes of Chianti. The journey to these lands can become even more impressive when interpreted as a journey of "encounters" that lead tourists through their movements, to increase the opportunities of knowledge.
The 2012 – 2014 edition of the "Spazio diVino" International Competition wants to amplify the meetings of the visitors of Chianti, identifying strategic points, the flow of the path as a complex and well–structured movement of suggestions, amplifying the relationship among nature, history and arts of the region.
The prize of the "Spazio diVino" Competition
The prize relates to the design of elements at different scales, useful for promoting the business and making wine in both the home territory and abroad, as well as among producing wineries.
The competition will be based on three Themes:
A. Elements of the park/lookout – open to the participation of architects and engineers in collaboration with an artist, to propose ideas, choosing one of the seven sub–zones of Chianti;
