Hello Max,

Your project for the landscaping of the Francysk Skaryna University is very well thought out and reflects a deep understanding of the needs of students, teachers, and visitors. Dividing the area into functional zones is a smart solution that encourages both relaxation and activity. The addition of coworking canopies, sports areas, and a stage for events shows a strong focus on creating a dynamic and supportive environment.

The use of modern technologies, such as Wi-Fi, USB ports, and charging stations at tables, is very forward-thinking and fits perfectly with today's digital lifestyle. The choice of materials, combining a metal frame, wooden slats, and polycarbonate for canopies, is practical and attractive. The seating and paving solutions complement the modern style of the campus while maintaining comfort and durability.

As an experienced architect, I would recommend adding more shaded green spaces, perhaps using pergolas with climbing plants, to create cooler, more natural areas during warm seasons. Additionally, incorporating some night-time lighting elements, such as ground lights or soft lanterns, could make the space feel welcoming even in the evenings.

Overall, your project shows great creativity, functionality, and technical skill.

Best of luck with your education and future career; you have a bright future ahead!
