The “Vital Complex” aspires to enhance livability through psychological research and the use of “vital” colors and green elements. While the goal is laudable, the spatial design remains generic, and the architecture lacks strong articulation of these ideas. The use of color and form is not fully grounded in environmental or social performance criteria. Plans and facades are underdeveloped, and the experience of users through interior and exterior spaces is insufficiently resolved. This concept would benefit from a clearer programmatic structure, improved environmental logic, and more nuanced architectural detailing.
