About The Folding Boat Jamoa Markazi

Harlem daryosi qirg'og'ida joylashgan Buklanadigan Qayiq ko'p funksiyali makon bo'lib, u jamoa kolleji uchun eshkak eshish majmuasi, kichik kutubxona va sport eshkak eshishga bag'ishlangan muzey sifatida xizmat qiladi. Buklangan metall tomga ega bo'lgan bu inshoot devorlarni shiftlarga uzluksiz birlashtirish orqali ichki makonini belgilaydi. Tarixiy va zamonaviy tumanlarning kesishish nuqtasida joylashgan holda, elementlarning puxta joylashuvi dasturlar, harakatlanish va shahar manzarasiga hurmat ko'rsatadi.
