The short-lived LAN – 4 proposal stood out among several proposals from different countries. For the Festival of Architecture and Design of Logroño, Spain for its Concentrico 06 edition, this winning project arises from the abstraction of the most used figure of wine. Its peculiar and elongated figure with that elegant touch of the glass, creates the concept, a form that is a tribute to the quality and prestige of the wine.

The shape; a tower that generates a landmark on the edge of one of Viña Lanciano’s plots, bringing its scale closer to the context of the Ebro river and the Mantible bridge, creates reflections that contrast with the Garnica wood interior.

4 sides represent each of the stations, a vertical element that rises 7.50 m, an ephemeral landmark that stands out within the site that bathes the Ebro river. Its exterior faces are made up of a mirror-skin, a similarity to the elegant glass of the bottle of wine and creates a reflection of its changing environment, throughout the course of the year.

LAN – 4; It does not seek to compete with the landscape of Viña Lanciano, it dialogues, frames and lives with it. Approaching it is perceived as a climatic barrier alluding to the mountains, but in the distance it merges with the landscape, in a poetic element, which depends on the location of the viewer, shows a facet of its location. The tower has an opening at the top that allows you to see the sky.
It should be noted that, according to the Festival organizers, the project was going to be withdrawn at the end of the festival, but the visitors and their loved ones liked it so much, that they decided to leave it for a year in the vineyard, it was present in edition 07, ending this It was decided to withdraw it from Viña Lanciano, it has been the ephemeral proposal until the longest time.

philosophy

A complex research which aims to highlight the quality of architecture over any other aspect. We believe that architecture plays a meaningful role in society and that architects should be able to share the beauty they manage to create through their works, in a well mannered and considerate way: free of distractive advertisements and unpleasant commercials. Complesco is therefore a focused platform that wishes to take architecture to the highest level of consideration, believing that an appropriate selection will win over quantitative and generic architecture that is taking over the places we inhabit. Complesco is a tool to stop cheap apathy and indifference, towards a possible future of surrounding beauty.
