My favorite approach to architecture is rooted in crafting spaces that go beyond functionality,… more

The overall concept of the project is strong, with a clear focus on convenience, accessibility, and a vibrant atmosphere. The structural and technical aspects are crucial to the success of a project like this; however, they currently feel slightly underdeveloped and could benefit from further elaboration, especially considering the ambitious spatial and design goals. Adding detailed technical drawings and plans would significantly enhance the project, providing greater clarity and depth to the design intentions.

The ramp design is particularly successful in guiding and controlling the flow of movement through the space. Additionally, the yard created between the ramp and the building is one of the project's key strengths, offering an attractive and functional outdoor area.

From an aesthetic perspective, however, the ramp could be refined further. Its external appearance feels somewhat harsh and could be softened to better align with the intended smoothness of the movement it facilitates. Enhancing the exterior expression of the ramp would strengthen the overall architectural language and better integrate it with the mall’s design intent.

Dear Mohammad Reza Asgari,

Thank you for your thoughtful and constructive feedback.

We would like to clarify that this project represents an ideal plan that we, as a group, developed during the course of the semester. Our focus was on creating a strong overall concept centered on convenience, accessibility, and vibrant public spaces, as you have kindly recognized.

Regarding the ramp design, we intentionally gave it a strong and distinct expression. Since the building combines both a garage and a shopping mall, our aim was to emphasize the transition between these two functions through the ramp’s form and appearance. We appreciate your comments on refining its aesthetic, and we agree that softening its external language would further enhance the overall integration of the design.

We also take seriously your advice on strengthening the structural and technical aspects. We are committed to further elaborating these elements with more detailed technical drawings to better communicate the depth of our design intentions.

Thank you once again for your valuable insights and support.

Best Regards from our group!
