I was struck by how beautiful and effective the use of various natural materials were throughout each complex. And still, today, these traditional building methods are being practiced by the local people. I am curious to see how the local population reacts to and engages with this new piece of architecture. I can say that yes, it seems like a nice space (ugh, our field is so subjective), but I wonder if more could have been done to take into account the local's lifestyle, building traditions, communal habits, etc.?
