About Cetacean Кит Күргәзмәсе Үзәге

Вакытлыча һәм әле тәмамланырга тиеш проект. Мәдәни бина Исландиядә сәяхәт урыны булыр дип көтелә. Кит койрыгы һәм скелетның бионик формасы бу бина теленә әверелде. Бөтен бина экологик чиста. Барлык материалларны да эшкәртеп була. Бөтен эчке киңлек табигый яктырту куллана. Дизайнерлар тагын бер искиткеч пейзажда архитектура булдырып калмыйча, китләрне аңлау һәм диңгез тормышын саклауда катнашачаклар.
