EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES: ARCHITECTURE ANALYSIS IN FUNCTIONAL AND AESTHETIC CONTEXTS

Abstract

An increasing number of equestrian facilities are being built in Poland and around the world. These premises should be designed to meet the needs of both people (the riders) and horses, while retaining high architectural value. Hippic buildings have a diverse use programme depending on their purpose. The profile of an equestrian facility directly affects its architecture in both functional and aesthetic contexts. The author analysed foreign cases of hippic buildings of varying size to present their diversity.
