About The Folding Boat Društveni Centar
Sklopivi Čamac, smješten uz obalu rijeke Harlem, predstavlja višenamjenski prostor koji služi kao veslaćki objekt za komunitarni koledž, malu biblioteku i muzej posvećen sportskom veslanju. Sa presavijenim metalnim krovom, ova struktura definiše svoj unutrašnji prostor besprijekorno stapajući zidove u plafone. Pozicioniran na spoju istorijskih i modernih četvrti, precizna postava elemenata poštuje programe, cirkulaciju i urbani pejzaž.
