LANDSCAPE AND GARDEN OF FOOD PRODUCTION

Argentine case of contemporary wineries and vineyards

Abstract

The productive spaces of wineries and vineyards propose a particular line of inquiry and interpretation as a case of contemporary landscape design, which is interesting to expose through the practices of the Argentine case, thus this work recognizes a particular “type” of landscape and productive garden, the new vineyard-winery unit, both through the study of a set of works, the authors and their professional work, as well as the changes produced towards the end of the 20th century in the ways of producing and marketing viticulture with an open international market and the reception of foreign business investments; the emerging uses -among which wine tourism stands out- transformed and diversified the traditional programs and their disciplinary responses, and it is interesting to present analytically a set of recent projects at the farm level, located in rural areas of the provinces of Mendoza and Neuquén ( Argentina), belonging to the regions of Cuyo and Patagonia respectively.
