around a world of wine and culture. It will be a must-see experience during the

stay in Huailai, but also a place to go for residents of the region.

The project vision:

Participants are invited to come up with visionary concepts for a Wine Culture

Center . Designers are free to include all the functions all in one building, or

designing separate structures, striving to create a dialogue between man and nature

through architecture.The ideas can be as fantastical or as grounded as you see fit.

We are not looking to judge proposals on their feasibility, but on the extent to

which they have the potential to be a landmark.
