I love it when a building sends a message. When there is strong intention. I focus on the emotions… more

Hello Kawser, my name is Nicholas from Argentina, and I am a former Inspireli Finalist and Juror tasked with giving feedback on your project. I will give feedback based on 2 points:

1) Base idea: The concept is not only interesting but of great importance to society, directed towards a sector of the population that is many times forgotten by us architects. Furthermore, the idea of involving the different senses into the design is very interesting. You might want to read up on the Alhambra in Spain that takes into account all the senses, using different fruit plants like I believe you have used in your project.
2) Execution: I admit it was difficult to analyze your project because of the minimal info given. I would have liked to see what types of materials you used, what plants, what sensations are meant to give each element of your design to the person inside, etc.

I think you have something very interesting and useful to society. If you advance more on the project or have more exploration regarding the design, I'd be more than happy to look.

PS. I find it almost ironic, but my final project also had to do with involving the different senses into the architecture.

Thank you Nicholas for your feedback.It means a lot to me. I didn’t fully realised the scope and vastness of the idea while starting. As you have mentioned, i will work on the materials and details of the project in future and would like have your views on that.
Thank you so much
