Abstract

Genius loci and terroir are concepts that both relate to how the relationship between people and place is experienced through a personal sensory experience. Viticultural landscapes are working landscapes that also provide aesthetic, emotional, and sensory value – and the connections between wine and place are a critical component of winemaking culture. Idiot’s Grace winery, a small organic winery in Mosier, OR, provides an opportunity to explore how genius loci and terroir intersect through design. Using case study analysis, the project will compare the form, space, function, and concept of relevant projects to create design guidelines. Following this process, the guidelines will be tested through experimental design and simulation.
