I agree with the previous comment. Also it is important to consider how these connections relate to your final design. It never hurts to go back and revisit your assumptions to confirm your understanding.

Good work annotating your graphics and helping viewers understand where pictures are taken from. Make sure to compose every slide as some of the pictures you placed are graphically difficult to understand and blend in to the adjacent images.

After reviewing the rest of your project, I think you have a strong design concept here with the "Wagon wheel," especially as an organizing/structural element. However as a statement of design concept and overview it is hard to understand right away. Try to provide additional information to help viewers understand the project from a very broad to very refined understanding as they progress through your presentation.

Interesting roof design; however, in terms of material, you could consider perforated metal panels.
In terms of graphic, I would scale down the texts in all the renderings.

It is a great design. In your previous research, you have identified some of the environmental aspects of the building, it would be great if you could develop them further in the final design. For example, by using low-e glass on the south facing wall, it will enhance thermal insulation of the space.

Nice rendering ! The rendering conveys your concept sketch very well including the building materials. A minor suggestion: I would use "exterior" instead of external in the title.

It is a great diagram, just a minor suggestion, it would be helpful if you note what the red and green colors represent.

A good analysis of design decisions in regard of the environmental conditions.

Nice job in defining what the potential issues are for all the spaces. Also, the key map is very helpful. A small improvement would be to scale down the red labels (A, B, etc), aside from that, well done!

It is good that you stated the orientation of the building, as it will have an impact on the sustainable design decisions later on.
