About The Folding Boat Маркази Ҷамоатӣ

Қайиқи Шиканда, ки дар соҳили Дарёи Ҳарлем ҷойгир аст, фазои бисёрфунксионалӣ мебошад, ки ҳамчун иншооти қойиқронӣ барои коллеҷи ҷамоатӣ, китобхонаи хурд ва осорхонаи бахшидашуда ба қойиқронии варзишӣ хизмат мекунад. Бо боми феллезии шикандашудаи худ, ин иншоот фазои дарунии худро тавассути омезиши ҳамвори деворҳо ба сақфҳо муайян мекунад. Дар нуқтаи якҷояшавии ноҳияҳои таърихӣ ва муосир ҷойгиргардида, ҷойгиркунии дақиқи унсурҳо ба барномаҳо, ҳаракат ва манзараи шаҳрӣ эҳтиром менамояд.
