Fantastic architecture Bodega Ysios enters the constellation of the most attractive sites of wine tourism to Spain. Winery Marques-de-Riscal Frank Gehry designed by the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Bodega López de Heredia worked Zaha Hadid, the grand lady of the world of architectural deconstruction, and Bodega Ysios made the most futuristic and surreal architect in the world, Spaniard Santiago Calatrava.

The winery is situated at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria, and apparently, background image is the mountain range and set the architectural appearance of buildings. Sinusoid, a giant bird, a marine mollusk, a mountain of wine barrels, a fantastic body, accented with a cathedral arched entrance – critics compete in comparisons. You can invent his own.

Undulating roof of the building, which is perceived in the adventure exterior, are numerous wooden beams, which create the interior space of not less than surprising:

In any case, the architect completed the task winery owners on one hundred percent – they wanted their building was completely original, tightly etched in my memory the image – and these wavelike forms is as follows. Now, this rearing sinusoid as an individual identifiable symbol Ysios – on the labels of wine Bodega, on the drums, all accessories, buildings, signs, logos winery. This wave with nothing can not be confused, architecture and wine brand merged into one:

Wine tourists

To get to the winery Isios most convenient from Bilbao. Route “Bilbao – Rioja winery” – in general, one of the most interesting architectural wine routes in Spain. After studying in Bilbao, the world-famous masterpiece of modern architecture – the Guggenheim Museum should do a two-hour dash to the south, in La Rioja. It is very compact, just at a distance of ten kilometers from each other, are a few wineries, constructed the stars of world architecture.

Art action
This is a special point in the program. The owners of Bodega, thinking the building its winery as an art object, this is not the ostanavlivlivayutsya. It regularly holds exhibitions of contemporary art, fashion shows, theatrical performances.

You may well get to the performance of the leading theaters of flamenco or shares of Basque fashion houses. During the last year which featured a collection of art glass, which we wrote some time ago. The designer made a set of wine glasses, corresponding to the seven deadly sins of man – greed, gluttony, anger, lust, and so on.

Bonus: Architecture of the future by Santiago Calatrava

By project wineries Ysios – Spaniard Santiago Calatrava (Santiago Calatrava), pp. in 1951 in Valencia. It builds its futuristic buildings throughout the world. Passionary and charismatic customers, in whatever part of the world they lived, they know that the idea of the future better Calatrava no one embodies.

At first he thought of becoming an artist, went to art school, but almost immediately realized that one of aesthetics to it enough. Too creative and constructive, just to draw, a year later he enrolled in the highest architectural school. But having received a diploma in 1975, architect, Calatrava could not be satisfied with this, he wanted to know how all these crazy images that hovered in his mind, can translate into real designs. Rightly suspecting that it is not easy to find as unordinary thinking design engineer, he became his own – got the second higher education – already engineering. All of his work – an alloy of architectural and engineering genius.

A small selection of its basic structures easily orient any trends in the architecture of the early 21 century. Just imagine these structures in the environment of their daily movements – and feel the difference.
