Kurgi观察塔
库尔吉农场位于拉脱维亚北部的生物圈保护区，是北欧最美丽、风景最优美的地方之一，被联合国教科文组织列为具有国际重要性的自然保护区。库尔吉农场的主人是一对年轻的夫妇，克丽斯塔普斯和劳拉，他们被这个地区的自然美景迷住了。以至于他们决定在那里永久居住。
库尔吉农场的主要业务是养马，但不是所有的马。库尔吉马场是拉脱维亚阿登马仅有的几个育种项目之一。拉脱维亚阿登马是当地稀有品种，濒临灭绝。库尔吉马场是拉脱维亚阿登马现存的最后四个品种之一。拉脱维亚的阿登马是当地社区高度重视的一种马，是他们历史遗产的一部分，他们一直在努力避免灭绝。
在库尔吉观察塔竞赛中，参与者的任务是设计一座塔，让游客以一种新的方式来观察和体验拉脱维亚北部的生物圈保护区。拟建的观景塔将建在库尔吉村的山顶上，可以欣赏到壮观的景色。
克丽斯塔普斯和劳拉希望这座塔成为他们生态旅游理念的一部分，为客人提供一个远离繁忙的城市生活的避难所，一个在壮观的自然景观中找到和谐的机会，并为他们提供与马一起的治疗体验。
由于库尔吉农场对这座塔的建造表达了兴趣，设计将需要与拉脱维亚北部生物圈保护区的外观和目的保持一致，同时有潜力成为一个标志性的地标。

Kurgi Observation Tower
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.
