About Oat Wreath Pavillon Équestre
Le pavillon équestre fait partie du centre équestre nouvellement créé. L'objet est situé sur le patrimoine culturel et protégé par l'aire culturelle de l'ensemble historique de l'exposition. Le concept architectural principal est l'exclusion des murs de chapiteau massifs au profit d'éléments de dentelle en bois transparents. Le motif principal de l'ornement de façade est un motif rythmique stylisé en forme d'épis de blé ou d'avoine. De minces colonnes métalliques soutiennent presque imperceptiblement les rayons lumineux du toit en bois collé, qui s'est soulevé, avec l'achèvement sous la forme d'une silhouette stylisée de la tête du cheval.

- Production Technology
- The building of the pavilion is a large-span structure covered with glued wooden beams. The end of the beam is an individual architectural element - a stylized silhouette of the horse's head. Facades - horizontal wooden boards, located in two transverse directions complex rhythmic pattern, reminiscent of wheat ears or oat. The surfaces of all structural and facing elements remain natural color, exposing the texture of wood.
- Design Challenge
- Conditions of construction on the territory of the object of cultural heritage excludes the possibility of construction of capital buildings and structures. This determined the overall architectural-spatial and constructive solution of the equestrian pavilion. The choice made in favor of creating a spatial structure from the environmental and renewable materials.
- Research
- Historically: significant urban area of the city. The first buildings appeared on this site in 1937-39 as part of a large urban complex of the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition. They built of short-lived materials and by 1954 replaced by capital buildings - pavilions for various functional purposes. The existing stables, which are subject to reconstruction and restoration, for the full functioning require the creation of a new spectacular pavilion-arena.
- Inspiration
- Main goal - organically inscribe a large-sized large-span structure in historical ensemble of pavilions built in 1954. Transparent wooden lace of outer walls designed for the dematerialization of the volume to dissolve it against the background of existing landscape. Main facades ornament motif resembles the thick of intertwined wood branches and ears stylized in the spirit of socialist realism, referring to genius loci of VDNKH (exhibition of national economy achievements) - object of cultural heritage and protect cultural zone.
- Project Duration
- 2015-2017, Moscow city, VDNKH, Russia.
