- Largely covers the expected program of the design brief while still likely being the most economically viable of all entries;
- Very strong concept / very interesting integration of the existing ruins; not only as a feature/landmark but also in terms of legal feasibility of the construction;
- Mushroom-growing Station very interesting
- Maintaining and expanding on existing building styles, in their ruin form quite creative
- Materiality could be improved;
Hugo Manuel Valente Martins - University of Coimbra
- Covers by and large the expected program of the design-brief - strongest entry in this regard;
- Presentation and modelling is excellent;
- Branding is a nice touch;
- Elevated solution providing different perspectives to nature very interesting,
- Overall concept comes somewhat short compared to the very strong presentation;
- Cabin materiality rather dominant;
- Suspended solution is beautiful, but likely cost intensive and more complex to construct
Mariana Justino Adrega - University of Lisbon
- Covers by and large the expected program of the design-brief;
- Modular cabin layout is interesting but the area ratios are questionable (bathroom area / total area);
- Yoga Deck and Natural Pool are nice ideas;
- Reasoning or “story” behind master plan layout is unclear;
- Concept, materiality and general ambience of the proposed program could be improved
