About Equitorus Equestrian Sports Center

Kinakailangan ang Equitorus upang matugunan ang lahat ng mahigpit na kinakailangan sa kalusugan at teknolohikal para sa pagpapanatili, pagsasanay at paghahanda ng mga kabayo na nakikipagkumpitensya sa pinakamataas na antas. Ang kumplikadong ay naglalaman ng buong imprastraktura na kinakailangan para sa pamumuhay at libangan na pangangailangan ng mga may-ari ng kabayo sa kanilang ekstrang oras. Karamihan sa mga kamangha-manghang elemento ng kumplikado ay ang malaking panloob na arena na gawa sa nakadikit na mga istruktura na gawa sa kahoy at nagtatampok ng isang hugis na L-gallery na may mga upuan ng manonood at cafe. Ang object ay nakikita bilang isang kaibahan na may kaugnayan sa likas na kapaligiran. Tila kung may kumalat sa isang makulay na homespun mat sa lupa.

Production Technology
Idea of giving an emotionally saturated image for a purely utilitarian object has been realized through the use of two-colored roofing & facade rhythmically organized geometric decor. Object is perceived as a contrast object in relation to natural environment. It seems as if someone had spread colorful homespun mat on ground. Huge glass planes work on contrasts,emphasizing arches end facades & connecting interior with exterior together. Facades of complex are lined with wooden planks of varying widths. These boards,creating a unique decoration on facades, are painted in different shades.
Design Challenge
Almost half of total area of Pushkin district is covered with forests. Exceptionally favorable combination of natural factors & absence of large industrial enterprises let to think about area as one of the most environmentally friendly in suburbs (museum-estate Muranovo - famous poets Baratynsky & Tiutchev; Museum-Reserve Abramtsevo, where in 70-90's of 19 century - Abramtsevo artistic circle-one of places of origin & formation of so-called "neo-Russian style"). Natural environment & unique history of neighboring villages predetermined integrated approach in formation of concept of urban development.
Research
Main goal-creation a unique complex that met all the stringent sanitary & technological requirements for post, maintenance & preparation of horses for participation in competitions of the highest level. Also, complex must contain the entire infrastructure necessary for living & recreation of horse owners in their spare time from training & competition. Another goal-customer set up before creating the complex was conducting hippotherapy sessions for social, psychological & physical rehabilitation of disabled people.
Inspiration
The natural environment and the unique history of the neighboring villages predetermined the integrated approach in the formation of the concept of urban development. In the one project it was necessary to immediately solve three tasks: functional, ecological and cultural identity.
Project Duration
Pushkin district, Moscow region, Russian Federation
