My initial reaction to looking up works by Grimshaw Architects was, quite candidly, “this is so cool.” In terms of the racecourse, I think the design contributes to the significance of the sport of horse racing. The dark undertone of the material contrasting with the green grass and golden-brown hair of the horses is a great look. I also, I find the curvature of the top of the construction inviting and counteracts the rigid shape. I would like to one day visit this racecourse and maybe throw a few dollars on horse Number 2 that’s leading the pack in the photo above.
