A tapestry of scenographies and collectible stage designs creates a captivating allure, effortlessly guiding users from one space to another. However, it's regrettable that the interior space exhibits greater structural coherence compared to the exterior. Nonetheless, the concept holds promising potential.

JURY COMMENTS
The experiential route appears somewhat linear and repetitive, with spaces adhering to a safe aesthetic that may limit their ability to evoke emotions. Instead of serving as effective conduits of feeling, they risk feeling more like a prescribed experiential path. Introducing elements to diversify the journey and evoke a broader range of emotions could greatly enhance the overall experience.

While the collection of spaces is intriguing and impeccably presented, there's a potential for the experience to feel austere due to its uniformity and absence of intricate detailing. Adding nuanced elements could enrich the overall ambiance, fostering a more dynamic and engaging environment
