JTB Architects’ Post

In recent years, the craft beer industry has become an unexpected driving force in the world of #architecture, particularly in the #adaptivereuse movement. As more breweries set up shop in #repurposed buildings, they are not only preserving #historic structures but also fostering #community and #sustainability. This article explores how craft beer is at the forefront of revitalizing urban spaces, blending tradition with #innovation in ways that benefit both local #economy and the #environment.

The final chapter in the story of the #Vitiarium is Il #Pugnitello, the symbolic wine of San Felice Wine Estates and its propensity for research and experimentation. The label depicts the Pugnitello immersed in its Vitiarium, the experimental vineyard of San Felice, guardian of Tuscan viticultural biodiversity, aimed at preserving and enhancing the ancient native Tuscan grape varieties. Planted in the #1980s in the Vitiarium, Pugnitello has become an emblem of how the recovery of ancient varieties, combined with modern viticultural techniques, can create something unique. It is presented with packaging featuring unusual traits, intentionally breaking away from classic norms to highlight its #original and at times #extroverted character. In the world of design, the concept of "#purity" is often translated through the adoption of a basic approach, aiming for simplicity of form to achieve a minimalist aesthetic. This approach, emphasized by clean lines, bold colors, and the absence of superfluous decorations, reflects a fundamental element of Pugnitello: its vinification in purity.

CORK VERSUS SCREW CAP On aesthetic grounds, cork wins every time. And on the grounds of sustainability, a cork forests is much more attractive, with its renewable ecosystem, than aluminum mining . Australians and New Zealanders got so fed up with the performance of the corks they were sent by the big cork producers in Portugal around the turn of the century that they moved almost wholesale to screw caps, or Stelvins. The widely accepted view in academic wine circles is that screw caps eliminate the variation in natural corks and allow winemakers to be sure that the wine the consumer encounters is exactly the same as what was originally bottled. Winemakers’ chief concern is the freshness and fruitiness of the wine. Several comparative tastings of the same wine with cork enclosure and screw cap reveal that bottles stoppered by cork loose freshness over time. Verget is an important wine producer in Burgundy. From 2015 onward, He started using screw caps with an impermeable liner. This step eliminated the problem of oxidation precosse (premox) (early oxidation). Poor-quality corks that let too much oxygen into the bottle are thought to have been one of the causes of the notorious phenomenon of premox r that affected many white burgundies from 1996 until well into this century. Properly lined, screw caps may just be superior to natural corks for red wines as well, and a few Bordeaux chateau owners are expermenting with them. There is only one problem. Restaurants have been reluctant to list wines with screw caps on their menus, simply because opening a screw capped bottle is nearly not as dramatic as a cork stoppered wine. Servers understand this perfectly as it affects their tips. It will take some time for restaurateurs to understand the importance of this technology.

Exploring the Elegance of Cabernet Franc: From Vineyard to Glass

Could Toronto's Port Lands function like a wetland? Along with our sister company Atelier Ten, our B+H Biomimicry group is now working alongside Waterfront Toronto to contribute to the McCleary District Sustainability Plan, pushing their priority areas through the lens of biomimicry. This lens invites us to look at the original function of this area, pre-industrialization, to understand what the land naturally wants to do, will support us in doing, and will permit us to do. We will then use this knowledge to guide our design recommendations for the McCleary district to see if we can go beyond the idea of "doing less harm" to explore how we can contribute to that land's natural trajectory and function, all while creating an exciting district for life, work, and play. How could you imagine a city functioning like a wetland? Share in the comments below. B+H Architects https://lnkd.in/ggU7h6FY

Mirus – Barossa Valley, South Australia Following the successful launch of Wonderground last year, the team have released a range of small batch wines that showcase the remarkable vineyard sites in Barossa Valley known as Mirus. ‘Mirus’ is a latin word meaning wonderful, strange, remarkable, amazing, surprising, extraordinary. The name embodies the magical place that the wines come from; each varietal from grapes picked off a single block, representing the diversity of soils, aspect, vine age and vine clones on the estate. Cornershop Design collaborated with Wonderground to establish a brand identity and packaging for their Wonderground range of wines. We are thrilled to partner with them again, to help tell their Mirus brand story. Like the Wonderground labels, the Mirus packaging features distinct artworks created by artists and co-founders Kirsty Kingsley and Renée de Saxe. Each label is crafted from natural pigments and textures from the soil on the specific vineyard blocks. Mirus pays respect to the native custodians of the land, like Wonderground's creations; from winemaking to creating art for the labels. The typographic logo is finished in a black foil and embossed. It is an elegant solution to complement the Wonderground logo and position the Mirus brand and range of wines with distinction.
