About Emerald 馬術綜合體

整體建築和空間項目圖像將所有六座建築物結合在一起，揭示了每座建築物的功能特徵。競技場和馬s的擴展外牆直接面向行政綜合核心。水晶網格的六面建築像項鍊一樣位於木製框架中。牆上的三角形裝飾著玻璃，作為翡翠的細節。弧形的白色建築凸顯了大門。外牆網格也是內部空間的一部分，內部空間是通過透明網絡感知的。室內設計延續了木質結構的主題，使用元素的比例來更符合人體比例。

Production Technology: Main requirement is environmental friendliness. Such determined choice of main construction material-wood. Task is to connect large-span glued wooden structures with original & non-repeating design of each of six blocks. As conclusion is creation of unique spectacular image of entire complex, which "plays" with faces like emerald. Composition center - 2-stories administrative block with maximum use of wooden material of main load-bearing structures, facade ornament & decorative elements.
Design Challenge: Creation single architectural &spatial project image that is unites all buildings &simultaneously reveals functional identity of each.Central block as core of entire structure does not only because of its position, but due to drawing of details &silhouette.Color scheme is close to natural one,limited by wooden shades. Emerald-grey pitched roofs echo greenery of surrounding emerald forest.Interiors continue idea of wooden facade structures,adjusting elements scale to be more proportionate human.
Research: Features of landscape & climatic conditions of design region studied in detail. This made it possible, using technologies and materials, to achieve greater energy efficiency of building. Layout option packages make it possible to follow each temperature and humid conditions without hindering internal transit staff, athletes and animals, including winter, which is extremely important for Moscow region. Dismembered structure of complex suggests possibility of using separate buildings for other events.
Inspiration: Urban design structure of complex is determined by terrain of territory through prism of horse technology. Territory is extended shape. Complex is functional division into six blocks with stables, arenas and central administrative block that serves as connecting core for all buildings. Due to requirements of technology and logistics, complex structure is similar to crystal lattice of mineral, enlarged by billions of times. This coincidence suggested main idea is gem which sparkling its facets.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2017 in Moscow, Russia.
Expert conclusion: December 2018 and July 2019, Moscow, Russia;
