Concept development 2

change in architectural style from geometric becuse of the rigedity of the building there is
horizintal rigid line to organic and flexible line low infiltration of the dense human movment.

concept statment (Permebility)

By incorporating elements of both traditional and modern architectural styles, the design aims to es-
tablish a harmonious relationship between the built environment and the surrounding community.

clay soil isi’t good for construction

becuse it’s suceptible to moisture
fluctuation.it expands when it’s
moist and contracts when it’s dry,
resulting in uneven floors and load
distribution..so the best foundation
type for this kind of soil type is pile
