The Beginning - Observing Built Forms

The beginning of this unit encourages us to get out into the built landscape to pay attention to the method/s of construction of 'Portal Frames - Houses of Industry' - which is our theme for this semester.

Following are photos of a Wine Manufacturing site in Nagambie, Victoria where Portal Frame Construction has been adopted to house a Winery and Bottling operation. Architect designed (Alby Richards), I think the curved use of corrugated iron in these warehouses and sheds is interesting and a pleasing aesthetic.
