During the lecture, Amily taught us how the way architect uses the materials reflect on the building they create.
These picture are part of one of the famous winery, Dominus winery in Yountville, California.
The architects for this are Herzong and de Meuron, Swiss architects.
The exterior only contained of cages filled with different sizes of stones.

This is the close-up of the wall of the building.
Different stones caged up.

This is the interior of the building.
As the stones were placed randomly, the gaps between the stones bring out beautiful pattern when sunlight shines through it.
The architects totally brought out the honesty and beauty of the materials they used.
