Springdale Winery: Justin Myers final studio '09

These photos from the site visit represent the three aspects of sustainability that were used to guide the entire project design. Ecological concerns about maintaining and improving the riparian zone around the Virgin River resulted in a conservative site layout that protected the river and kept any building or hardscape immediately adjacent to existing roads. Social responsibility also called for the maintenance of the Zion Canyon landscape for all of the tourist visitors to the area. Economic factors also suggested that the business of the winery and the town structure itself would be best served by buildings placed close to the street in order to maintain a strong town streetscape retail presence.

Springdale Sustainable Winery - ecology - economy - society - beauty CONSCIOUS BEAUTY: texture, sense of place, simplicity, and repetition are used as the modes to achieve beauty through simple design de-cisions inspired by and in harmony with the three tenets of architectural responsibil-ity. The disgram at left illustrates the de-sign process of conscious beauty - tak-ing cues from sustainability requirements to seize design opportunities to express beauty that is integral with project needs. The diagram expresses the placement of a structure on an empty site. At step 3 a basement is added resulting in soil by-product. Step 4 uses that soil to build the walls and reduce need for a less sustain-able wall material. A truss is added in step 5 to open the structure to natural elements of wind and sun. In step 6 that truss is re-fined and simplified to reduce material and take on a sculptural feel. Throughout the project, beauty is found via this process and the modes of material texture,scale of place, and the simplicity of repetition rather than through extraneous means.
