This project presents a well-organized and thoughtful architectural solution that effectively communicates its technical and conceptual strengths. The technical data are clearly and neatly presented, making the proposal easy to understand and appreciate. Your attention to clarity helps highlight the core values of the project—particularly its respect for natural elements and site context.

The isometric drawings, while simple, are highly informative and contribute significantly to the overall understanding of the building’s massing and spatial organization. They support the narrative of harmony with nature without overwhelming the viewer with complexity.

Additionally, the perspective views are well chosen and well executed, helping to ground the proposal in a realistic and relatable visual context. They effectively express the spatial quality and ambiance of the design.

The use of Timbecrete is a commendable sustainable material choice, aligning well with your project’s ethos of environmental respect. It would be great to see more emphasis or annotation on how this material performs in context—perhaps through a small detail or diagram in future iterations.

Nourhane Mohamed, I truly appreciate your thoughtful entry and the clarity of your presentation. Your approach to integrating nature and sustainability within a research-focused program shows great sensitivity and purpose. Thank you for sharing your work with us!
