Alexandria Visitor Center

The development of the project is interesting. Both the joint between the volumes that seem to be wedged in the ground and, at the same time, hanging from the steel beam that the articulation on two levels of the space are interesting. The practicality of the roof garden may be limited due to the structural challenges posed by the slope of the slab. This aspect should be reviewed. Perhaps the best sun exposure for the visiting center should also be reviewed. The building has large curtain walls on the south and west sides. The building's permeability and sunlight make it feel open and connected to the surrounding landscape. However, the sun is predominant, impacting the overall energy efficiency of the building. As a whole, I think it’s a great job.
