Wettbewerbsaufgabe
Die Kurgi-Farm befindet sich im Nord-Lettischen Biosphärenreservat, einem der schönsten und landschaftlich reizvollsten Orte Nordeuropas, das von der UNESCO als Naturschutzgebiet von internationaler Bedeutung eingestuft wurde. Die Kurgi-Farm ist im Besitz eines jungen Paares, Kristaps und Laura, die von der Naturschönheit der Gegend fasziniert waren. So sehr, dass sie beschlossen, dauerhaft dort zu leben.
Die Kurgi-Farm konzentriert sich in erster Linie auf die Pferdezucht, aber nicht auf irgendwelche Pferde. Die Kurgi-Farm ist eines der wenigen Zuchtprogramme für die lettischen Ardennen, eine seltene einheimische Pferderasse, die gefährlich nahe am Aussterben ist, und Kurgi besitzt eines der letzten vier lettischen Ardennengestüte, die noch existieren. Die lettischen Ardennen sind eine Pferderasse, die die lokale Bevölkerung als Teil ihres historischen Erbes sehr schätzt und die sie mit großem Einsatz vor dem Aussterben bewahrt hat.
Im Rahmen der Kurgi Observation Tower competition, haben die Teilnehmer die Aufgabe, einen Turm zu entwerfen, der es den Besuchern ermöglicht, das Nord-Lettische Biosphärenreservat auf eine neue Art und Weise zu betrachten und zu erleben. Der vorgeschlagene Aussichtsturm wird auf dem Gipfel des Hügels des Kurgi-Anwesens stehen, um die spektakuläre Aussicht zu genießen.
Kristaps und Laura beabsichtigen, den Turm als Teil ihres Ökotourismuskonzepts zu errichten. Er soll den Gästen einen Zufluchtsort vom geschäftigen Stadtleben bieten, eine Chance, Harmonie in den spektakulären Aussichten der Natur zu finden und ihnen therapeutische Erfahrungen mit den Pferden zu ermöglichen.
Da die Kurgi-Farm ihr Interesse am Bau dieses Turms bekundet hat, müssen die Entwürfe sowohl dem Aussehen als auch dem Zweck des Nord-Lettischen Biosphärenreservats entsprechen und gleichzeitig das Potenzial haben, ein eigenständiges Wahrzeichen zu werden.
Competition assignment
Kurgi farm is located in the North Latvia Biosphere Reserve, one of the most beautiful and scenic locations in Northern Europe and listed as a nature conservation area of international importance by UNESCO. Kurgi Farm is owned by a young couple, Kristaps and Laura, who were mesmerised by the natural beauty of the area. So much so that they decided to live there permanently.
Kurgi farm’s primary focus is horse breeding, but not just any horses. Kurgi farm is one of the only breeding programmes in place for the Latvian Ardennes, a rare breed of local horse that is dangerously close to extinction, and Kurgi has one of the last four Latvian Ardennes studs in existence. The Latvian Ardennes is a breed of horse that the local community value highly as part of their historical heritage, and have been working hard to save from extinction.
For the Kurgi Observation Tower competition, participants are tasked with designing a tower that will allow visitors to view and experience the North Latvia Biosphere Reserve in a new way. The proposed observation tower will be located on top of the hill of the Kurgi estate, to take in the spectacular views.
Kristaps and Laura intend the tower to be a part of their ecotourism concept, offering guests a refuge from the busy city life, a chance to find harmony in the spectacular views of nature, and to provide them with therapeutic experiences with the horses.
As Kurgi farm has expressed an interest in the construction of this tower, designs will need to be both in keeping with the look and purpose of the North Latvia Biosphere Reserve, while having the potential to become an iconic landmark in its own right.
