    Though this comes after the actual presentation, there is still value in some critical feedback to become better:
    -in a word, this project suffers from a great deal of excess filler; from the excess volumes that compromise the clarity of circulation and efficiency of the design to the way it is presented (really, what the value of the roof perspective and the bottom 2/3 of the first poster remains uncertain to the viewer); the excess in the design leads to ambiguity of space which then reflects poorly on you as a designer; the sprinkling of cafe tables in the lobby still does not make for a convincingly clear space; moving forward try to be precise with what you wish to do as opposed to start with a huge volume and chisel away
    -the little nuances will make you a stronger designer; everything from how materials come together (see Zumthor's work) or how structural elements are exposed as design elements (see everyone from Foster to the Patkau's) will make you gain architectonic expression strengths many students in their graduate studies still lack; the finer details in things such as the structure (it looks like a wallpaper of glulam on far too many elements), lighting (you have pendant lighting but do not show what would normally be in there such as fluorescent valences or pots) and mullions (there does not appear to be a bottom element on your curtain wall frames) will make you a better designer; parapets, structure, and foundations always make a more convincing case that your are more than an illustrator
    -given the value of site in this term, it would be imperative to showcase site context more sincerely; the relationship to the streetscape, the expression of how it connects to the business or calmness that you would generate with this design is lost in the presentation
