About The Folding Boat Komunitate Zentroa
Ontzi Tolesgarria, Harlem Ibaiaren ertzean kokatua, espazio anitzfuntzionala da: komunitate unibertsitatearen arrauneko instalazioa, liburutegi txiki bat eta arrauneko kirolari dedikatutako museo bat. Teilatu metaliko tolesgarria duen egitura honek bere barne-espazioa definitzen du hormak sabaiekin modu leunean uztartuz. Auzune historiko eta modernoen elkargunean kokatua, elementuen kokapen zehatzak programak, zirkulazioa eta hiri-paisaia errespetatzen ditu.
About the Zilarrezko Saria A' Design Award
The Folding Boat Komunitate Zentroa Zilarrezko Saria A' Design Award irabazlea da, goi-mailako, zoragarriak eta liluragarriak diren diseinuei ematen zaien ezohiko aitorpen prestijiotsua. Zilar-mailako irabazleak lan oso distiratsuak eta sormen biziko lanak dira, beren diseinatzaileen aditutasun, talentu eta zorroztasun nabarmenak erakusten dituztenak. The Folding Boat Komunitate Zentroa erakusleiho-lan zoragarria, nabarmenki profesionala eta sakonki berritzailea izatea espero da. Zilarrezko Saria A' Design Award irabazi duen diseinu hau asmakizun oso nabarmena eta miretsia da, onura ekartzen duena eta artearen, zientziaren, diseinuaren eta teknologiaren mugak zabaltzen dituena. The Folding Boat Komunitate Zentroa jende askok inbidia duen sorkuntza da, desirak pizten dituena, sentimendu positiboak ekartzen dituena eta harridura eta txunditzea pizten dituena.
