FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
PN: Architecture of the arena is due to a rather difficult task- to inscribe organically a large-sized large-span structure in the historical ensemble of one-story pavilions-stables of 1954. The transparent wooden structure of the outer walls designed to dematerialize the volume as much as possible, dissolve it against the background of high firs and old sprawling poplars. The main motif of the facades ornament simultaneously resembles the thickness of intertwined wooden branches and ears, stylized in the spirit of socialist realism, which in turn refers to the ingenious loci of the exhibition.
FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
PN: 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 of environmental and renewable materials.
