The task of the project is shown very clearly, the author tries to reveal and solve the problems of this issue as detailed as possible. Indeed, for a city like Abu Dhabi, it's necessary to modernize the existing transport hub, which is one of the main means of communication between cities in the Arab Emirates. I know this firsthand, as I myself traveled several times between Dubai and Abu Dhabi through the bus station.
In this case, it would be useful to add actual photos of the territory, from the same angles as 3D, so that the configuration of existing buildings is clear.
The issue of presenting the project is also important. In my opinion, the use of dark shades doesn't contrast enough with the main forms of the proposed design. It's necessary either to make the structure brighter by adding street lighting and the illumination of the canopy itself, or, conversely, to make the presentation more sunny, light, airy by choosing daylight.
Dear Ms. Mariia,
I want to thank you for the time to review my project and give me such good feedback. I am quite happy that someone who visited the bus station provided me with such notes. I am quite pleased and thankful again that I will take those points into future consideration when presenting future projects. (It was my first time trying futuristic projects in my grad year)
Have a great day/evening!
Regards,
Dua'a AlRifai.
