Virginia Tech Students Unveil Final Master Plans for Capital Sculpture Garden & Winery
This unique academic-community partnership engaged 26 students in developing master plans for the Capital Sculpture Garden & Winery-a 10-acre cultural, ecological, and community destination now in development just outside Washington, DC in the Loundoun County's wine region.
Six interdisciplinary student teams presented their innovative final concepts, each offering a distinct vision for blending sculpture, vineyards, native plantings, nature trails, wellness amenities, and community gathering spaces into a sustainable, culturally rich landscape.
Student Design Teams & Concepts:
* Agri {Culture}: Connecting Art and Life - Presented by Halle Reinholtz, Jerry Nohr, Neera Naran, and Lilian Bell. This concept preserves the agricultural character of the land, blending farming and community programs while integrating local art into the landscape.
* Cultivating Cultures - Presented by Makena McLaughlin, Christian Hildebrandt, Daniela Cardoso-Plunkett, and Lilly Grossman. This design encourages engagement with global art and local agriculture, promoting sustainability and creating a sense of wonder through framed views and interactive spaces.
* Landscape as Art: Painting the Landscape - Presented by Jackson Kirsch, Acelyn Goris, and Charlotte Sincavage. The team emphasizes preserving agricultural land while celebrating culture and the arts, using carefully designed views to evoke famous paintings from around the world.
* Roots of the World - Presented by Niall Hamilton, Lindsay Schulwolf, Linus Standsbury, and Coleman Cook. This concept highlights the deep connections between culture, nature, and artistry, creating a space that transcends borders and serves as a cultural and educational landmark.
* Sculpted Views - Presented by Bryn Arata, Donicio Rosario, Alex Matlock, and Larcyn Williams. The design integrates strong visual connections between art and industrial agriculture, providing a functional yet aesthetically pleasing visitor experience.
* Creating an Eye for Art - Presented by Jenny O'Keefe, Sofia Mendoza, Ryan Langley, and Emma Foster. The team's concept ensures the site is recognized as more than just a winery, incorporating diverse programs to attract visitors and enhance the artistic experience.
