Equestrian Architecture: Architectural Proposal for a Sports Space with emphasis on tectonic and sustainable aspects.

Architectural Project. Equestrian Architecture. Tectonics. Biophilic Design.

This volume refers to the Professional Master's Completion Work, in the qualification phase. It consists of a technical report and a technical project at the draft level, whose theme is Equestrian Architecture. In view of the deficiency of equestrian spaces, both at the local and national levels, that are specifically designed and adapted to their needs, it is expected to contribute to this lack through a sustainable solution. Thus, the objective of this work is to elaborate an architectural project of an Equestrian Sports Space, considering the aspects of tectonics, biophilic design and sustainability principles, as project guides. In order to carry out the proposal, it was necessary to carry out research with a theoretical and technical approach, studies in bibliographic references, related design case studies and on-site visits in buildings of the same building typology. In addition, the propositional phase included architectural programming, definition of project dilemmas and goals, definition of architectural concepts and parties, formal studies through physical models and preliminary studies. From these initial studies and with the help of the knowledge acquired from the curricular components studied in the master's degree, the design process was gradually developed and mapped, in various forms of registration. The solutions sought aimed to reduce the environmental impact in a sustainable way, taking into account the scale of the horse and the human scale, in order to establish a good relationship between them and meet the goals established in this work. The proposal presented here sought architectural strategies with solutions through the adoption of low-cost and easy-to-maintain materials to maximize environmental comfort for all users of the designed space (both rotating-man and fixed-horse users). The results achieved consist of a building designed in two curved blocks, in earthy materials, which are interconnected by walkways over a wet area, promoting good levels of environmental comfort and sensations. It is expected that the proposal meets the objectives set in this work.
