The project presents a highly technical and sustainable approach, with a clear focus on creating a plant research center that prioritizes both functionality and the needs of different plant types. The design addresses essential aspects like sunlight, shadow, and water requirements for plants, showing a deep understanding of plant ecology. The separation of movement paths for visitors and researchers is well-thought-out, ensuring both safety and functionality within the space.

The graphics are well established, and the information is easily understandable, allowing for a clear comprehension of the project’s concept. You've done well to illustrate the diverse plant environments and how the space accommodates these needs. The use of reinforced concrete and brick cladding offers a solid and sustainable material choice, ensuring durability and resilience in the design.

One area for improvement would be in the presentation boards. While the design itself is strong, there are visual inspiration sources available online that could help elevate your boards, making them more engaging and dynamic. Additionally, while the concept is clearly conveyed, the renders could be improved. With some practice and research on visual representation techniques, you can enhance the overall aesthetic and impact of your presentation. This will make the visuals not only more pleasing but also more reflective of the thoughtful, technical aspects of your design.

With some additional refinement in these areas, your project could become even more compelling and well-rounded.

Thank you, Beshoy Hisham, for sharing your work! Your technical understanding of plant environments and attention to functional design is commendable.
