LAN - 4 | Alejandro Ramírez

The short-lived LAN - 4 proposal stood out among several proposals from different
countries. For the Festival of Architecture and Design of Logroño, Spain for its Concentrico
06 edition, this winning project arises from the abstraction of the most used figure of
wine. Its peculiar and elongated figure with that elegant touch of the glass, creates the
concept, a form that is a tribute to the quality and prestige of the wine.
The shape; a tower that generates a landmark on the edge of one of Viña Lanciano's plots,
bringing its scale closer to the context of the Ebro river and the Mantible bridge, creates
reflections that contrast with the Garnica wood interior.
4 sides represent each of the stations, a vertical element that rises 7.50 m, an ephemeral
landmark that stands out within the site that bathes the Ebro river. Its exterior faces are
made up of a mirror-skin, a similarity to the elegant glass of the bottle of wine and creates
a reflection of its changing environment, throughout the course of the year.
LAN - 4; It does not seek to compete with the landscape of Viña Lanciano, it dialogues,
frames and lives with it. Approaching it is perceived as a climatic barrier alluding to the
mountains, but in the distance it merges with the landscape, in a poetic element, which
depends on the location of the viewer, shows a facet of its location. The tower has an
opening at the top that allows you to see the sky.
It should be noted that, according to the Festival organizers, the project was going to be
withdrawn at the end of the festival, but the visitors and their loved ones liked it so much,
that they decided to leave it for a year in the vineyard, it was present in edition 07, ending
this It was decided to withdraw it from Viña Lanciano, it has been the ephemeral proposal
until the longest time.
