Dear Zohreh

I really appreciate your effort to integrate the built and the unbuilt into a single complex by taking up the much needed issue of City Gardens. I must congratulate you for the conceptual way of addressing several important aspects of City garden Design. As rightly identified by, the city greens are vanishing and it is our duty as a designer to integrate these green lung spaces into our built proposals. You design handles several issues at various levels, in that the level of detailing is a little weaker as compared your medium of expression.
The idea of interlacing the open/semi-open into the built space configurations needs a little more matured thought process in terms of understanding the flora and fauna. The dead load of the greens on the building is going to make the building design a lot of more heavy. The movement of vehicles & also too many people, is going to disturb the kind of birds that would otherwise be making their nests on these wonderful green trees & shrubs that you have provided. Lastly, it would have been an interesting exercise to look at a different material palette for the whole project.

As a broader feedback, always remember, that all projects in the public domain, must be replicable, socially relevant and most importantly, scalable.
Best wishes to you, and keep up the spirit of experimenting with spaces, scales and typologies.
