Live Laugh Love
There are several circular stone structures, which remind the city historic towers. It seems like a castle, but more transparent and softer compared to the original ones. This brings safety, warmth, intimacy and happiness to people.
There are few things to mention: 1- Those wooden grids within the facade can be used as an outdoor gallery for the paintings or any other arts done by citizens. 2- Those gazebos outside do have a fireplace inside and can be used for certain activities, like Drug Rehab, Cultural Events, and etc. 3- Wall fountains could be attached to the facade but it was ignored due to the submission deadline. 4- Those circular gardens are ready for planting activities.
I think this is interesting - there is a vernacular feel (castle-like) internally and externally. The building could do with a more smaller intimate spaces for visitors. Great site analysis though!
Beautiful!👍
