Hello Mirlind,

Your “Terraces - Hardware/Software” project presents a very intelligent and forward-thinking approach to adaptable architecture. I appreciate how you skillfully balance permanence and flexibility by combining reinforced concrete for public spaces with lighter timber structures for private areas. The stepped courtyard is a wonderful feature that creates a vibrant communal heart, encouraging social interaction and connectivity among users.

Your focus on long-term adaptability ensures the building remains relevant over time, responding well to the studio’s challenge of embracing change. The clear spatial organization from public to private is also very thoughtful and practical.

As an experienced architect, I would recommend further exploring sustainable technologies, such as energy-efficient systems or modular elements, to strengthen the environmental resilience of your adaptable design.

Best of luck with your education and future career. Your thoughtful and flexible architectural vision is truly promising!
