Dear Muhamad,
First of all, congratulations on your project, and welcome on behalf of the Inspireli team for participating in the Inspireli Awards competition. Regarding your project: the idea of creating a rest hub for hailing and delivery workers is both attractive and practical. I have narrowed down my feedback to the following points:
1. Strength of the Idea and Concept:
It is vital to define a clear question during the initial phase. In your case, the right question led to a precise and targeted response—well done on setting the foundation.
However, in the written section, it would strengthen the project if you elaborated more on the integration of pedestrian and delivery networks—such as through separated circulation paths or designated access points. Additionally, clarifying the phygital experience and defining the connection between physical and digital user flows would greatly enhance the depth of the project.
2. Presentation and Visuals:
Congratulations on achieving a high-level presentation. The clarity of the storytelling narrative strongly supports the project’s idea, and the sharp, vivid style of your visuals and diagrams adds a unique identity to your work.
That said, given that safety was a key topic, I would recommend addressing it more explicitly in the visuals. Potential conflicts between motorbikes and pedestrians at crossing paths should be resolved, and elements such as guardrails on bridges could be added to enhance safety. Additionally, large gaps or openings on the platforms could pose hazards for pedestrians and should be reconsidered.
3. Technical Drawings:
Your floor plans, sections, and elevations complement each other well and create a cohesive overall presentation.
However, to improve readability and technical clarity, I would suggest adding some magnified detailed drawings and using the scale more expressively as a tool for communicating the design intent.
4. Creativity, Innovation, and Feasibility:
Your compact, pixelated form resonates with the surrounding urban density while responding to the humid climate through layered shading and sculpted wind corridors. The modular facade metaphorically frames the spirit of the digital age.
However, introducing more flexibility and reducing rigidity would allow the project to evolve over time and adapt to future expansions, strengthening its alignment with sustainable design principles.
Wishing you a successful journey on your inspiring architectural path ahead!
Regards,
Omid
