While the project presents an interesting intervention at the urban level, it appears to lack a strong and meaningful connection with its immediate context. The proposed building seems rigid in form and spatially detached from the surrounding urban environment, with no evident integration or permeability between built volumes and the public realm. The façade treatment is repetitive and lacks visual dialogue with the streetscape or surrounding architectural language.

From an environmental standpoint, the design does not seem to offer effective solutions for openness or climatic responsiveness. The use of the central axes within the site is not clearly defined, and both internal and external spatial connections at key transition points are weak and underdeveloped. Technically, the project presentation lacks clarity and depth, making it difficult to fully grasp the spatial intentions. The formal approach shows limited creativity, as the rigid masses do not offer dynamic or innovative spatial qualities.


Given that the project is located in a dynamic urban fabric and is surrounded by key natural and urban elements such as the river and transportation infrastructure, the positioning of the building on the site, as well as the overall proposal, could better respond to and capitalize on these contextual opportunities. It is recommended that interior spaces be re-imagined to align with contemporary urban needs and user demands, ensuring that the spatial program contributes meaningfully to the vitality and livability of the surrounding environment.
