We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Polina Nozdracheva about their original and creative Equestrian Pavilion design work. Polina Nozdracheva is an award-winning architectural designer, that makes our world a better place with their original equestrian pavilion works.
Polina Nozdracheva ("PN") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Oat Wreath Equestrian Pavilion. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
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.
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.
PN : The future plan for this award winning design is building of it.
PN : Several mouths.
PN : This project was ordered.
PN : This question is for design element (lamp, furniture etc.), but not for architectural project. Architectural project is always unique.
PN : The idea and several symbols of this very specific place. The construction site is part of the VDNH (all-Russian exhibition of achievements of the national economy) – the object of cultural heritage and protected by cultural zone.
PN : Only natural elements such as ears of wheat or rye influenced the creation of this architectural project.
PN : This architectural concept is unique, has a very strong philosophical meaning of each developed element, which are associated with the historical territory for construction.
PN : The name of the project is associated with the main elements of the facades, which resemble a field with ears of wheat or oats.
PN : Study of natural elements - ears.
PN : Creating a field of wheat ears or rye in the form of an architectural element in the urban structure of the city.
PN : With the specialists of the ALPN Ltd.
PN : Designing equestrian complex (club or pavilion) is always primarily a technology that is inextricably linked with the architecture and structure.
PN : The design preceded by a stage of creative research. A considerable amount of information illustrating the history of the construction site studied. Significant urban area of the city. The first buildings appeared on this site in 1937-39 as part of a large urban complex of the all-Union Agricultural Exhibition (VSHV).
PN : The construction site is part of the VDNH – object of cultural heritage and protected cultural zone. This severely limited the choice of structural structure and spatial solution.
PN : It is not the first time of my participation in this competition. And I was invited to be a part of this event again.
PN : The profession of an architect is a profession that you learn all your life. With each new project you will learn this profession more and know the meaning of life deeper.
PN : Everything is OK. Thanks.
