The project has already revealed an interesting and suggestive ATMOSPHERE.
The metaphor of MOUNTAINS is strongly revealed through the strong masses and their material expression which elicit tactility.
Suggestions and crits:
– The roof system and canopies are too thin and “weak” comparing to the strong masses. So increase their thickness.
– You can try to use locally the motif of openings in the masses of the complex, through a differential population in a gradual mode, meaning; on the basis you have less openings and on the top more of them. Moreover, instead of openings you can use niches or engravings like deep spaces in a thick wall (i.e. the motif of openings in the Albanian Kulla). See for example our proposal for the Central Mosque of Pristina: http://mosquesynergicspaces.blogspot.com/2014/02/central-mosque-of-prishtina-studio-b_702.html
– Imagine one mass as a mountain covered on top with snow, how would you interpret the Silhouette!
– You can employ translucent concrete in the walls and on the floors, see: LiTraCon®
