Thanks for participating Inspireli. I believe competitions provide large laboratory to exercise new ideas, take place in a larger architecture community and this is very important for an architecture student’s progress in our profession. This is an amazing project topic responding to a sustainable community. However, the project is looks 2 dimensional and formally unintegrated. There is lack of unity (particularly the image of the food court with the rest is lacking harmony). The site articulation is explained yet the integration and operation of radial and linear organization and forms seems like not working well. Perhaps a modular design approach can be adapted to the project and circular forms could turn into 3 dimensionally articulated spaces like overpass bike routs on a grid base. The project topics are different but perhaps Oscar Niemeyer’s Niterói Contemporary Art Museum could be studied as a precedent for better articulation of circular forms. I am sure you already checked BIG’s Denmark Pavilion which is also a great precedent for this study. The landscape seems like not serving to the provided spaces, but it has great potential to be adapted to the spaces (especially with ramps circulating them). All the best and good luck.
