@Larone Eli - Thanks for sharing your comment. While we support the fact that everyone is free to share their opinions on UNI (Constructive / Critical), spreading misinformation about the judging process is something we do not endorse. Clarifying, all the projects which are shortlisted are reviewed by the jury panel. The projects that didn't make the cut may score lower compared to the ones that did well - but in entirety every shortlisted project enters jury scrutiny. The comments are optional to share, and they do not determine any qualification related information.
Wow ... Oh My God ! What an amazing project 👏.
The clear, compact and abstract proposal of a raw material with a patio of another warmer materiality is positively valued. We recommend that you work on the solemn architectural gesture of breaking the corner to make it the main entrance, as long as it is adapted to the topography and accessible to people with reduced mobility.
