Dear Aliaa Zanaty

Form oriented Designs are always tricky and challenging. Especially when you are dealing with them in a Climatic and Cultural Context. The project has its highs and lows too. The way the curved form is handled and spaces are detailed out, is appreciated. The Internal façade looks interesting, technical and specification details would add value to the same. Placement of rooms and activity adjacencies look in order, but in the process of form being dominant, certain spaces (and their shapes) have been compromised. The other sides of the entire block, side façade and the dead façade of the west wing, could also have been designed in a similar theme.
Presentation skills are good. The 3D views make the project explanatory. Would have appreciated blown up plans, details of rooms, more sections through habitable spaces and services as well. In terms of design of services, more work is needed - Fire Exits, Water Tanks, Lift / Lift Rooms, Universal access, etc.
Overall a very good effort !!
