First look, DARING DESIGN! something out of the box!
Good composition and example of juxtaposition for the site.
However, when we look into the details, there is not much exploration in term of the interior space as well as spatial design. The building design only consists of 3 boxes stagging up and rotating the angle towards the view.
It will be better if the student can design the building in section and 3D where there is more exploration in term of the visitor and user journey.
The student should look into more design aided diagram or sketches to help to explain the design concept as well as design development. I would appreciate if the site analysis can be explain more to enhance the concept by having such form. The project offer alternative space for leisure and learning. However, looking into the interior design, it is merely just a box cantilevered and hanging on the sky. Fenestration, opening design of the building facade should be considered to increase the daylight and ventilation into the building as well as the building performance. I feel it less interactive and excited after looking into the details. Perhaps the student has spend more time to explore the WOW architect by having such structure. When we look into the details layout, there is more practical items need to be taken into consideration in term of the support as well as fire travel distance.
Overall is a good exploration of design but after all, i would encourage the students to STAY FOCUS.
start local, aim global! Always ask yourself what the user ( student/ lecturer in this case) want, not what you as an architectural designer want.. Highly encourage the student to look into more design principle and space quality.
Good luck and keep up the work!
Thank you so much for investing your time and knowledge in my project.. I appreciate your feedback which will help me in my future projects.
With respect,
