This is a well-researched project with detailed programs laid out for a specific design purpose. Visitors' path and material handling path are well designed with some integration as a means of exhibition. Three glass globes are the main feature of the design, successfully using light to bring the three levels together.
The idea of greenery and park carpeting the main underground programs are cool. It could be designed in more detail and taken the local climate into consideration. The description part of the project has a detailed summary of the country's climate, but such information is not represented into the project.
The night scene of the complex does not seem relevant to the program, unless there are automated manufacturing process happening in the evening, or night time observatory opportunities in the globe.
The diagram of the material handling is clear and well thought of, but the diagram of massing needs improvement.
