The Constellation project is impressive in both concept and execution. The presentation boards are exceptionally well-structured, with a thoughtful layout that clearly conveys the innovative and purposeful narrative behind the design. The color choices are subtle and impactful, reinforcing the environmental and futuristic tone of the project without overwhelming the viewer. This balance creates a strong first impression while maintaining clarity throughout.

Your renders do an excellent job of illustrating the integration of the waste processing plant into the larger urban and natural environment. The imagery effectively captures the complexity of the program, particularly how the various elements of the complex interact with one another and the surrounding community. The blending of industrial functionality with social and environmental goals is clearly articulated, and the renders highlight this seamless interaction.

The floor plans stand out for their attention to detail and the strategic use of negative space. This clever design choice not only aids circulation and accessibility but also enhances the user experience by providing open, well-lit areas amidst the structure's more utilitarian components. The thoughtful zoning ensures that each function of the space—whether residential, agricultural, or memorial—has a distinct identity, while also supporting the overarching narrative of environmental improvement and sustainability.

Congratulations, Anna Zheltikova, Egor Orlov, and thank you for participating in the Inspireli Competition. Constellation is a visionary project that merges architectural form with environmental and social responsibility. It’s a remarkable example of how architecture can address both practical and humanitarian issues, creating a space that is as much about healing as it is about innovation. Keep up the excellent work!
