The Noor Center demonstrates a compassionate response to the sensitive issue of addiction, using architectural form to support the healing journey. The dual spatial language—linear zones for initial recovery phases and circular ones for reintegration and therapy—is a thoughtful metaphor. The use of light, open courtyards, and thematic zoning supports psychological well-being. However, while the concept is strong, the architectural resolution in plans, structure, and façade treatment remains schematic. Further detailing is needed to reinforce the healing atmosphere and ensure operational clarity, especially in integrating medical, therapeutic, and communal spaces.
