葡萄牙 马术中心：Centro Hípico

马术中心有着极其丰富的历史，它与Alto de Trás-os-Montes地区以及当地居民对马匹和马术运动的热情息息相关。这也是欧洲最好的马术场之一，伴随着Pedras Salgadas公园的温泉项目成为游客最喜欢的活动之一。

The Horse Riding Centre has extremely rich history, linked to the region of Alto de Trás-os-Montes and the passion of the local inhabitants for horses and equestrian sports. It is also the story of one of the best jumping of Europe, and its relationship with Pedras Salgadas Park in the peak of spa tourism.

然而，随着时间的流逝，马术中心逐渐衰败，从20世纪90年代开始，这种情况衰败越来越严重。2013年，当局决定开始启动修复工程。时代在变，游客的需求也在变，来马术中心的游客不再是特权阶层，随着现代化的进程，每位游客都享有同等的权利。新的招标规则确定了设计的主要目的，为了确保骑术中心的盈利能力，主要针对非赛季场馆的开放，对收入模式进行了必要的重新设计。

And it is a story of declines. The Horse Riding Centre decayed gradually but from the 1990s onwards this accentuated to an apparently irreversible extent. Restoration works started up in 2013. Times have changed and so have the user’s needs. The spectators are no longer a tiny privileged class and the modernisation of show business has brought in democratisation in access to these things. The new international rules for tenders have implied a deep reformulation. The need to ensure the profitability of the Riding Centre has led to a necessary redesign of the model of obtaining revenue, based on the very low seasonality of the jumping competitions.

32个马厩和一个马术场地已经建成，新的建筑很容易与现有的建筑和周围的自然环境融为一体。除了作为本地化材料外，软木经过老化，还能得到与周边木材相似的纹理和色调，与景观有机结合，与环境融合得最好的例子是马术场的主建筑，它全部由树干覆盖，似乎已被周围的植物所接受并拥抱。随着时间，建筑体量与绿植相互融合，使之成为自然的一部分。

32 boxes and a riding arena have been built. The new buildings fit in easily with the existing buildings and the surrounding nature. The boxes, for example, are covered with cork panels. In addition to being an indigenous material, cork, upon aging, will acquire textures and tones similar to those of the surrounding woods, merging organically into the landscape. However, the most emblematic example of this architecture of invisibility is the riding arena. Totally covered with trunks, it appears to have been adopted and embraced by the surrounding vegetation. The trunks and time will ensure its full absorption by the flora, making it definitively part of it.
