The project demonstrates a poetic and socially engaged vision, translating the idea of nature as a teacher into a spatial and material experience. The “red path” becomes both a narrative and connective device, guiding users through diverse spaces for learning, play, and reflection. The integration of water as a cooling and symbolic element is particularly thoughtful. The proposal reflects strong sensitivity to context, sustainability, and community well-being, with coherent storytelling and spatial hierarchy.
My advice is to refine the architectural scale and spatial thresholds between indoor and outdoor zones, ensuring smoother transitions and stronger spatial intimacy. Further exploration of local construction details, shading systems, and furniture could enrich the sensory experience. Clarifying the red path’s physical form—its texture, height, and interaction with users—would also strengthen its conceptual and experiential role.
