You've presented a very promising concept that combines innovation, sustainability, and functional design. The use of steel as a central element is both practical and expressive, and your emphasis on a dynamic façade and flexible interior spaces is well thought out. Great work!

Here are a few constructive suggestions to further develop and refine your project:
The green roof is a great feature. You could explore integrating rainwater harvesting and smart irrigation systems to make it more self-sufficient and environmentally impactful. Also, consider the biodiversity potential of the roof by introducing native plant species or pollinator-friendly plants.
Since your project emphasizes a dynamic façade, think about including movable panels or perforated screens that can adapt to sun, wind, or user needs. This would strengthen the idea of a "living building" and make the design even more interactive.
You’ve made strong choices in terms of sustainability. To go even further, consider incorporating:
Renewable energy sources (e.g., solar panels on the roof or façade).
Passive design techniques, like natural ventilation or strategic shading.
Life cycle thinking: show how the steel used can be recycled or repurposed at the end of the building’s life.

Overall, your project demonstrates a strong understanding of contemporary architecture challenges and opportunities. The concept is ambitious, creative, and relevant, and with some refinement, it could become an outstanding academic and professional portfolio piece.

Keep going—you're on the right track!
