Dear Vineet Sethiya,
First of all, let me thank you for participating in the InspireLi awards and for all the efforts put into this project.

The context of this project is very interesting due to its complexity as it's located at the intersection of different topological, historical & socio-economical levels. Approaching such a complex site requires very sophisticated research and investigations, to which I appreciate the layered methods that were preconized for the analysis phase which really helped identify the 3 components mentioned earlier.

However, in order to continue to build on the successful analysis, it's very important to consider the fact that complex problems require complex solutions: So in addition to remembering the place for what it WAS, it's also important to consider it for what it IS now as well to be able to achieve a sustainable solution.

Based on this thought process, maybe instead of focalizing the solution only in one specific location, it would've been very interesting if the project targeted multiple locations at once and worked on each different one according to its specific micro-context & immediate surroundings while aiming to maintain a strong link between them on a macro-context basis. Of course, this does not necessarily mean that focusing on one single spot could not be a successful solution as well, it's just that the two approaches are different in principle.

Either way, the project is definitely appealing, both architecturally & visually.

Kindest Regards
Waddah DRIDI.
