Dominus Winery – Herzog and DeMeuron

http://www.dezeen.com/2007/09/09/dominus-winery-by-herzog-de-meuron/

Above is a link to some interesting images of the Dominus Winery by Herzog and DeMeuron.  In this building the main wall skin is expressed as raw stones placed inside a wire cage.   

From the book Herzog and Demeuron Natural History  :  “H and D understood that the ‘essential is not revealed’ that the winery is only a shell, just as the bottle is only a container.”
