About The Folding Boat Sant Kominotè
Bato ki Pliye a, ki sitiye sou bò Rivyè Harlem nan, se yon espas miltifònksyonèl ki sèvi kòm yon fasilite ram pou kolèj kominotè a, yon ti bibliyotèk, ak yon mize dedye a espò ram. Ak yon twati metal pliye, estrikti sa a defini espas enteryè li a lè l melanje mi yo ak plafon yo san fwontyè. Pozisyone nan konvèjans dis katye istorik ak modèn yo, plasman metikilè eleman yo respekte pwogram yo, sikilasyon an, ak peyzaj iben an.
