About Quad Beár

Beár is ea Quad atá suite i bhfoirgneamh cearnóige stairiúil i lár Beijing. Bhí an struchtúr bunaidh i riocht neamhshábháilte, rud a d'fhág go raibh sé deacair é a threisiú agus a atógáil. Cuireann an t-athchóiriú feidhmeanna nua-aimseartha leis agus é ag coinneáil charachtar na seanchathrach. Úsáidtear coincréit don aghaidh agus adhmad don mhaisiú istigh. Déanann an dearadh cothromaíocht idir trí phéire codarsnachtaí: nua agus sean, íseal-eochrach agus ardleibhéil, tráchtáil agus compord. Cosnaítear an phríobháideachas ionas go gcumascann an beár go ciúin isteach sa chomharsanacht stairiúil máguaird.
