My final year project: Comments please :)

you should rather tackle it in a way that stresses the aesthetic part of it but underlying a deeper infrastructure regarding thos unfinished buildings. i.e facelifting it should be your main focus while sending an underlying message or a statement. how to do that? i have no idea. you should develop it further.

How about a mix of community gardens and  Sculpture gardens that use the ruins to commemorate the past? In the 19 th century the British were big on building artificial ruins in their gardens – perhaps since you have the ruins you can turn what is around them into gardens (vegetables, fruit trees?) owned by the community, but leave the ruins and turn them into art?

Probably completely off, but just a thought!

Beirut was my favorite city in the world in the sixties and seventies, before the wars..

The ruins could be tourist attractions, I know Beirut has a thriving art communty, and maybe bring some money in for the villagers, while the community vegetable gardens sustain them..

? Feel free to LOL, my feeling will not be hurt!

it’s actually a good approach to the idea but should be dressed in another matter in my opinion.

The aesthetic part is very important (it’s what distinguishes us from being another urban planner or horticulturist), but you definitely need some function to make your project stronger. The garden program that was mentioned is interesting. There are many concepts you can do and there really is no wrong concept. Choose one and execute it well. It is not necessary to have a million ideas.

 

What is the identity of your project? If you can answer that question in one sentence then you are off to a good start.
