The soccer field looks so out of place in your project. The building and the landscape are so designed and the field is just dropped in. Can you work the field to fit into the landscape - perhaps in the angles of the site work? Also remember the visual corridor just needs to be let open - but does not need to be an asphalt driveway as you show here. It can be landscaped as long as we can see through from the street to the water.
Hello Jose. Prof. Bouratoglou is right. The soccer field seems out of place. I suggest some changes, both in formal aspects and in representation aspects: 1) start by placing project in site so we can understand the relations with existing situations, vistas, accesses, etc; 2) use references for better viewing understanding (graphic or numeric scale, orientation, river position, etc); 3) try to fit the soccer/sports field better with building and context (for instance, make it slightly depressed, add stands that can serve as stands and viewing spot as well as restrooms or support rooms/facilities for outdoors activities and events, use vegetation to emphasize continuity). Please see the following links in regard to this point: http://www.archdaily.com/348007/homeless-world-cup-legacy-center-architecture-for-humanity/ http://www.archdaily.com/331794/hyttgardsparken-42architects/
4) extensive use of black can lead viewers to think that pavements are all in the same material (such as asphalt). Differentiate pavement materials/finishes by color/texture and in the end put a legend with their name/description. See the following links for reference/ideas: http://ad009cdnb.archdaily.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/51527a5fb3fc4bd066000074_collider-activity-center-competition-entry-strato_draw_01.jpg http://www.archdaily.com/350899/collider-activity-center-competition-entry-strato/
5) You might want to make elevations look more stylized and not very hyper-realistic (sometimes because of time constraints it helps) but anyway the following link is good for reference for a "halfway" look (stylized vs. hyper-realistic). http://ad009cdnb.archdaily.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/51527adcb3fc4b5fe5000076_collider-activity-center-competition-entry-strato_render_02.jpg
I'll talk about interior plans later (a lot of points to cover there). Keep up the good work. ES
