About Equitorus 马术运动中心

Equitorus必须满足所有严格的卫生和技术要求,以保持最高水平的赛马的维护,培训和准备。综合大楼包含了马主在业余时间的生活和娱乐需求所必需的全部基础设施。复杂的最显着元素是其大型室内竞技场,由胶合木结构制成,并设有带有观众席和咖啡馆的L形画廊。物体被认为是与自然环境的对比。好像有人在地面上铺了一块五颜六色的土布垫。

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
Operation Flow
The key areas of activity & socio-occupational importance to design and implement Equitorus: Promotion & development of equestrian sports and horse breeding; Promotion of horse breeding & equestrian sports industry - the possibility of introducing children to a healthy lifestyle; Support for equestrian sports, by virtue of its social significance - a promising area of charity; Master classes by leading domestic & foreign competitors; Junior School with affordable training policy; Conducting competitions, including the Olympic disciplines.
