The program offers various conditions that change the spatial qualities and temporal state of the space. The program is studied in its relationship to public and private space, size, temporary/fixed state, and flexibility.
I really like the way you have gone about diagramming your program and the relationships they have with each other. The way they rank are interesting to me. By chance could these diagrams begin to speak to something new when they are combined and overlap (such as flexibility and temporality)?
I agree with Abby about your diagrams. They seemed to be well thought-out and communicate well.
What I question is who you've defined the user of these spaces to be? Are you imagining a mix-use program that is meant for ex-pats (and even further break down into European/American, other Middle Eastern, and Asian, etc.), for Emirates, or for a combination? I think a closer examination of the expectations of architecture in the various cultural backgrounds you are designing the space for would help define parameters and/or call out current conditions that you are looking to continue, modify and/or dramatically change.
