About The Folding Boat Җәмгыять Үзәге

Харлем елгасы буенда урнашкан "Бөкләнүче Көймә" күпфункцияле киңлек буларак җәмәгать колледжы өчен ишкәк ату җайланмасы, кечкенә китапханә һәм спорт ишкәк атуына багышланган музей булып хезмәт итә. Бөкләнгән металл түбәсе белән аерылып торган бу корылма диварларны түшәмнәргә бердәм кушу аша үзенең эчке киңлеген билгели. Тарихи һәм заманча районнарның очрашу урынында урнашкан, элементларның игътибарлы урнаштырылуы программаларны, хәрәкәтне һәм шәһәр ландшафтын исәпкә ала.
