Thank you, Sahar Saeedi, for sharing your final project—Architecture School for the University of Islamic Azad University Science and Research Branch. Your work demonstrates a solid technical understanding, and the project clearly reflects a strong commitment to contextual and sustainable design.

The decision to respond to the mountainous site through a contextual orientation is both thoughtful and appropriate. It allows the building to harmonize with its environment rather than dominate it, which adds authenticity and sensitivity to the overall architectural expression. This approach not only enhances the campus atmosphere but also positively influences how students interact with the space—creating a more dynamic, inviting, and academically inspiring setting.

The project's technical foundation is evident, with the use of composite and concrete materials contributing to structural efficiency while maintaining durability. Additionally, your emphasis on blending green spaces with study areas promotes wellness, productivity, and a sustainable lifestyle—a smart and feasible choice for the community and site conditions.

The graphics and presentation materials are clear and well-established, making the design intent easy to understand and appreciate. The visuals successfully communicate both form and function, and your ideas come through with clarity.

This is a well-executed and meaningful project—technically sound, contextually responsive, and community-focused. Great work!
