Social rchitecture
This year's theme will be Social Architecture .
t
seeks to develop an architecture that promotes a network of inclusive barrierfree spaces that engages communities and the people.
Engaging the People
Social Architecture flips the idea of places (architecture) as something that we (people) have to
go
to. Instead, it brings down our institutions to the street level and engages (goes to) the people. This role reversal allows us to reimagine the myriad possibilities with which we interact with architecture. Architecture now becomes proactively engaging and in many ways very dynamic. It becomes part of the urban realm rather than a separate structure.
arrierfree and Inclusive
Accessibility has always been a major concern
o
architecture.
Yet
inclusiveness whether in developed
or
developing countries remains selective and incomplete. Social Architecture provides barrierfree spaces that are completely accessible for everyone. Whether you are a homeless street kid, an undocumented worker, wandering refugee, or even a time-strapped young professional, you are excluded by both physical, psychological, or temporal barriers from a large section of the public realm. These barriers that we inadvertently put up disrupts and segregates vital public institutions like, art, literature, government,
or
even religion. Imagine a typical library or museum. Before one can even get to a book or painting, you have to first enter a gate,
go
through a doorway, undergo security checks, seek information, register or buy a ticket, then ask for assistance or guidance. That is a total of seven steps. Seven daunting steps too many for people
who
are unaware,intimidated, too busy,
or
even just inappropriately dressed. Now instead imagine an institution with no dress code and no barriers, imagine a library where the books are
just
right there
in
front
o
you, one that catches your attention with a delightful play of space. Imagine a museum where you can enjoy a painting or two on your way home every day. Imagine a chapel that is there to lift your soul
just
when you need it most. That is Social Architecture.
Localized Institutions
Social Architecture proposes
to
break down monolithic institutions and
in
its place establish a network
o
localized institutions that are much closer and more relevant to their communities. This network is connected and augmented by the digital realm creating a concrete link between the internet and architecture. It creates a grounded social network where communal local networks are centered on relevant physical institutions. It allows us to know where information comes from and filters out false information (fake news). Architecture makes abstract ideas physical, social architecture makes the digital real.

 ntroduction
lntramuros, latin for within the walls , was the capital of the Philippines during the Spanish regime and was the center of the Spanish Empire
in
Asia. It was also known as Ciudad
e
Manila. lntramuros occupies a pentagonal area of 64 hectares beside the Pasig River
in
southern Manila. The walls have a length
of
4.5 kilometers or 2.81 miles with varying heights
of
4.5 to 6 meters and a thickness
of
2 to 2.5 meters. It took 250 years (from 1590 to 1830) to complete the construction, repairs, renovation, and reconstruction of the walls and fortifications. lntramuros had thirty-two streets, nine bastions, seven gates, seven churches, two hospitals, and at least fifteen schools. lntramuros should not only be known for its attractions. We must also learn
of
its colourful past and of those who make lntramuros as we all know it now. These members of the Walled City community are what they call ISF or informal settler families . There is a significant number
of
the estimated 1,500 informal settler families (ISFs) residing in lntramuros self-identify as renters . Those who work hard to bring life to lntramuros day and night are those we must value; small vendors, kalesa drivers, tour guides, and those who maintain the city.
n
order for lntramuros to be revitalized
in
the long-term, it must be rehabilitated and made capable of sustaining a good life for its residents.
n
this regard, the ISF residing
in
intramuros represents significant resource for the Walled City's revitalization; these families bring and give life to intramuros.
