  2. I like it too!
    The section of Burj Kalifa is very good. So is you commercial report. Your diagrams on the first plate is very nice. But you need to work more on the site images and make them drawings, detailed enough to show your exact entrances etc. But focus now on your taxonomy of spaces, views, programs, and most importantly, taxonomy of "awareness" meaning how people will perceive the space.
