OMULI MUSEUM OF THE HORSE INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION
-競賽主題：
奧姆利小學於1936年10月8日首次對外開放。該學校位於拉脫維亞北部奧姆利的小村莊，靠近愛沙尼亞邊境。在過去幾十年裡，上學的學生人數逐漸減少，年齡較大的學生被轉移到附近的其他學校。在隨後的幾年裡，該建築被用作郵局、農場辦公室、公寓和圖書館，但自2013年以來一直未被轉讓。在2019年，該物業第一次出售給北歐的房地產交易企業家。
Bee Breeders與Omuli School合作，呼籲將其結構及其周圍物業改造成多功能綜合體，主要功能是馬匹博物館。博物館將向遊客介紹當地馬匹的自然和歷史，並提供手工作坊，例如製作自己的馬蹄鐵和其他小手工藝品。
-時間線：
報名截止 – 2021年4月23日 ，提交截止 – 2021年5月25日
-競賽要求：
此博物館將位於北拉脫維亞生物圈保護區，這是北歐被聯合國教科文組織列入國際重要自然保護區最美的地點之一。該博物館將被希望在此實踐區域內成為綠色建築的例子。競賽優勝者需要考慮施工，因此設計需要強調可持續、環保和具有成本效益的建築技術。本次比賽中建築群的設計需要包括訪客住宿、藝術家住所，當然還有馬博物館！

The Omuli Primary School first opened its doors on October 8th, 1936. Located in the small village of Omuli in Northern Latvia, near the Estonian border, the school was commissioned by then-president K. Ulmanis. Throughout the decades the number of students who attended slowly dwindled, with older students being transferred to other nearby schools.

Bee Breeders, in partnership with Omuli School, are calling for submissions to transform the structure and its surrounding property into a multipurpose complex with the primary attraction being a museum for horses. The museum will inform visitors about the nature and history of local horse breeds as well as offering hands-on workshops such as making your own horseshoe and other small crafts.

The Omuli Museum of the Horse will look to become a regional example for green building practice. As competition winners will be put forward for consideration for construction, designs need to place a strong emphasis on sustainable, eco-friendly and cost-effective building techniques. Designs for the building complex in this competition need to include accommodation for visitors, an artists’ residence and, of course, the Museum of the Horse!
