Your project demonstrates a highly thoughtful and layered approach that beautifully merges architectural design with social and environmental consciousness. The integration of traditional stepped village references like Masuleh and Kandovan into a contemporary modular housing typology is particularly commendable resulting in a design that is both culturally rooted and spatially adaptive. The “health road” and multi-level connectivity encourage community engagement, physical activity and inclusivity across all age groups, adding significant value to the lived experience.
Technically, your passive strategies such as windcatchers, vegetated tunnels and modular green courtyards are well conceived and strengthen your project's sustainability narrative. The emphasis on prefabrication and site sensitive form also reflects a practical sensitivity to construction feasibility on challenging terrain.
As a suggestion for further refinement, the composition could benefit from a more concise visual hierarchy in the presentation layout. While the depth of your narrative is rich, distilling key architectural moves through clearer diagramming or sequencing would strengthen the project's clarity and impact for broader audiences. Overall, this is a compelling and ambitious proposal that embraces the spirit of place with empathy and innovation. Well done.
