dc.description.abstract |
Horses in the high-end equine industry worldwide realise
prices in the millions of dollars. Optimisation of stabling for
these horses attracts very high levels of investment in facilities
to enhance their physical performance to produce results. The
resources to improve the physical aspect of horses are well
developed; it is often the psychological needs of horses that are
ignored. The wellbeing of the horses can have just as dramatic
effect on their performance as the physical wellness. “While
great emphasis is put on training and riding, the quality of
“the other 23 hours a day is of equal importance.”
This thesis explores stabling issues including, equine and
human health, sustainability, efficiency and environmental
impact with a focus on how they may be favorably influenced
by architectural design. Calming features through natural
surroundings and predominantly water have been used to
calm the horses and also to influence the design. The chosen
site at Lake Taupo has special soil, nitration and pollution
management issues which are addressed. It is planned that
anaerobic digestion will turn waste into value.
The thesis also addresses the aesthetic appeal of stables
required by owners to optimise horse sales. It is anticipated
that architectural design will have a significant potential role
in providing solutions to the above issues. This thesis examines
the potential for architectural design to contribute towards
industry solutions. |
