About Equi Temple זירת רכיבה

המטרה היא יצירת דימוי אדריכלי וחללי מבטא, תוך פעולה במסגרת מגבלות טכנולוגיות. השימוש בקצב, בעיצוב פרטים ובצללית של קונסטרוקציות עץ מסיביות יוצר את נפח הבניין. הזירה במתחם הרכיבה משלבת פונקציות ספורטיביות וטכנולוגיות, פנאי וייצוג. המקבילון המלבני דומה לאנדרטה עתיקה. קווים מקושתים של אלמנטים קונסטרוקטיביים מעץ מודבק מגדירים את תפיסת החלל הקצבית הבסיסית. היקף החזיתות המזוגגות משלב את הפנים עם החוץ, והגג הגמלוני עם המרזבים הבולטים מרחף מעל השטח על מסגרת עץ אדירה.
