This is a really interesting project! I think that separating the lab from the rest of the facility is a very definite move, however it could tie into the forms already created by the main museum. This will help to architecturally unite the buildings, even though they are completely separate. Awesome job!

Hassan, as someone who typically doesn't like the gehry-like blob-itecture, I actually like the forms you have created here. I think the copper color and the blue glass give a great contrast to one another, which also highlights that these two nodes are major areas of interest for the site. The forms actually relate to what is going on beneath them, something that these designs tend to not do. I have a question regarding the composition of the laboratory space that is adjacent on the site, as it doesnt seem to have the same feeling to it as the rest of the site, which is very fluid. Was this an intentional design move on your part? Also, what programs were used to create your images and what was your interest in providing a use like this in this area of Syria? I am not familiar with that region, so it would be great to learn more. Great work!
