Reinterpreting standard cyclone shelter typology for
Concept / Idea [8/10] Analysis of natural conditions, such as climate (wind, solar, heat). Adaptation to local conditions: Well taken into consideration. Adaptability to various locations, scales, and topographies reasonable./ Feasibility of the idea: Commendable./ Use of local materials, techniques, labour skills: Well considered. All materials are locally available, and techniques introduced are locally familiar./ Waste management & sanitation: Recycling of waste materials is given adequate attention. Sanitation is considered to reasonable extent./ Ecological consideration: Excellent./ Flooding: Realistic and simple structural solution. / Design Output [7/10] Structural clarity and feasibility: Well considered. The structure is rather complicated with various panel sizes, but on the other hand, it provides durability and flexibility at the same time. The use of local materials and techniques that are familiar to local workmen is crucial, and very well taken into account./ Architectural quality: The proposal provides flexibility but the dome structure with a heavy thatch roof lacks elegance./ Presentation [9/10] Clarity and quality of images, detailing and overall layout: Commendable./ Clarity of textual material, narratives, justification of design choices: Commendable./ 0 Spaces/Design Programme [9/10] Site plan, logistics: Natural conditions, flexibility and scalability well considered./ Consideration of local socio-cultural features: Well considered. Gender balance and different needs acknowledged./ Community engagement, communal spaces: Good. Opportunities provided for communal meetings, and various activities./ Privacy: The unites provide adequate privacy./ Safety: The site plan allows escape routes. All organic materials may cause a fire risk at times./ Adaptability to changing conditions over time: Flexibility provided. Local materials allow easy repair of worn-out structures.
The proposal is deeply argued and seriously analyzed. The connections between materials (local and possible to use with low costs and maximum effect), space and function doubled by the volatile nature of stability (floating) are praiseworthy assets. The functions need to be refined in relation to the centralized space.
The shape is too complex and therefore does not improve habitability or make it a faster answer: on the contrary. We consider that the Miesian principle of "Less is more" is, in these cases (cyclone shelters), extremely valid.

Well done! Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you very much for your kind words and encouragement. I truly appreciate your feedback and support.
