The presented project deals with new and innovative solutions for floating recreational facilities in Volga water area. It seems that the current project poses functions that are important for social integration and interaction.
However, I would like to mention few points that you might consider so that you can add more value to your project.
- The location of the project is not clear on a map to show where the project is located exactly from Saint Petersburg, and
if there are certain constraints in the site such as: contours/ levels or bridges (because as presented in the link, there are levels and bridges) and how these constraints will have impact on the design.
- In this type of projects, it is suggested to mention the area of the project site.
- There isn’t a clear plan for the three models and their components.
- Also, as can be seen on your project (as presented in the link) that you did not mention if the surrounding context has a certain identity or a historical value and if this had an influence on the design of your community.
- It is suggested to write the uses found and activities carried out by people in each zone and how it will affect the urban context during the daily life.
- The project did not show how it will influence the improvement of ecology of the Volga water area.
- Finally, I think this type of projects should have an indication for the structure system used to build this floating community and to appear clearly in the section.
- Graphically speaking, it is suggested to add diagrams that explain the idea of the project. The presentation of the project should be architectural and a little bit of post-production will make your project look great. Furthermore, the perspectives did not show the difference between the model-city, model-industrial and model-natural.
After all, the project presents a good idea that provides entertainment facilities to the community.
I wish you good luck and hope my comments will be helpful in your future project development.
