Wine’s Museum on Cerro San Cristobal Architecture Competition

Arquitectum jointly with the Universidad Finis Terrae and the Chilean Association of Vineyards have recently launched the International Architecture Competition de 2010″.

The challenge for this competition is to design a Museum that has XX Century History of Wine exhibition areas and also be a landmark for the city of Santiago. To this end, the plot where this project will take place is located at Cerro San Cristóbal, since this hill is the most natural and, at the same time, urban backdrop to lay out a natural/artificial product such as wine. This is an amazing opportunity for the winning architect to become well known in a potentially growing market such as design of wine cellars and vineyards of all South America.

For more information, visit the competition’s official website.

Mirage House / Supersudaka

We featured Chilean firm Supersudaka several times previously on AD because we enjoy their architectural philosophy – especially their claim that, “We don’t want to change the world with architecture, we want to change architecture with the world.”  For their Mirage House, the client could not make a decision about what to build on his 5000 m2 plot, leading Supersudaka to think up an interesting solution.

More images after the break.
