“IMPROVING AND PRESERVING
THE QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH
DYNAMIC ARCHITECTURE”
 Design Concept

OUR MAIN AIM IN THE DESIGN OF THIS PROJECT IS TO IMPROVE THE

QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE PEOPLE AND AT THE SAME TIME EDUCATE
THEM AS TO WHAT ARCHITECTURE IS ALL ABOUT. MOST PEOPLE HAVE
MISCONCEPTIONS AS TO WHAT EMBODIES ARCHITECTURE, SIMPLY
SHRUGGING IT OFF ASIDE AS SUPERFICIAL, UNNECESSARY AND
IMPRACTICAL. BUT HERE WE WOULD WANT TO SHOW WHAT
ARCHITECTURE REALLY ENCOMPASSES. BEYOND THE AESTHETIC AND
BEYOND WHAT THE EYE CAN SEE.
WE WANT TO SHOW HOW THE USE OF CERTAIN MATERIALS AND THE
APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES AND GEOMETRY IN FORMS CAN
PRODUCE DYNAMIC ARCHITECTURE, DEMONSTRATING AND LIVING UP
TO THE ADVANCEMENTS OF OUR TIME.
WE DREW INSPIRATION FROM THE DYNAMIC FORMS OF THE
SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT. THE GENTLE CURLING OF THE WAVES
BECAME THE BASIS FOR OUR FORM.

THE BOARDWALK, BANTAY DAGAT, COTTAGES,
VILLAGE, AND FISHING BOAT PARKING AREA
 THE
BOARDWAL
K
 CONSISTING OF TWO 2-METER-WIDE
PATHWAYS ARE PLANNED IN A WAY
WHEREIN THEY CRISSCROSS EACH OTHER,
BOTH ON PLAN AND IN ELEVATION,
ENCOURAGING INTERACTION AMONG THE
PASSERSBY. WHEN VIEWED AT THETOP
AND AT THE SIDE, THE FORM RESEMBLES
THAT OF A HELIX.
 THE AIM HERE IS TO CHOREOGRAPH THE
MOVEMENT OF THE PEOPLE WITHIN
THE BEACH. DIRECTING THEIR PATHS
AS IF MIMICKING THE MOVEMENT OF THE
WAVES. PROVIDING THEM WITH A
BOARDWALK THAT POSSESS A GRADUAL
SHIFTING OF ELEVATION, AFFORDING
THEM WITH VARIED VIEWS OF THE BEACH,
MAXIMIZING THE QUALITY OF THEIR
EXPERIENCE WITHIN THE SPACE. DESIGN.
 ANOTHER REASON FOR THE ELEVATED
WALKS IS THAT WE WANTED TO TOUCH AS
LITTLE GROUND AREA AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE PRESERVING THE NATURAL
COAST. CONSIDERING THAT THE BEACH
STRETCHES OUT NARROWLY FROM END
TO END, WE WANTED TO NOT TAKE
TOO MUCH SPACE FROM THE EXISTING
BEACH AND HAVE AREAS REMAIN
UNTOUCHED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
 IT IS SHAPED AND CURVED LIKE AN ARCH AS IT
ELEVATES FOR A REASON, IT IS TYPICALLY A CURVED
STRUCTURAL MEMBER SPANNING AN OPENING AND
SERVING AS A SUPPORT OR A WEIGHT ABOVE THE
OPENING. COLUMNS OR ADDITIONAL STRUCTURAL
SUPPORTS ARE NO LONGER NECESSARY BECAUSE OF
THE SELF SUPPORTING NATURE OF THE ARCH, IT IN
ITSELF IS ALREADY A STRUCTURAL MEMBER. THUS, IT
GIVES WAY TO AN UNIMPEDED SPACE BELOW THE
BOARDWALK FOR PEOPLE TO WALK AND STAY UNDER.
 THE
BOARDWAL
K
 COTTAGES

ARE PLACED ALONG THE BOARDWALK, SOME

FOLLOWING THE DIRECTION OF THE CURVED WALK AND
SOME RADIATING ALONG THE SIDES, THE COTTAGE IS
ENCASED OVER WITH A RATTAN COVERING, THIN AT THE
SIDE AND THICKER AT THE TOP TO MAKE IT PERMEABLE
TO THE BREEZE AND SUN YET ENOUGH TO SHELTER
PEOPLE FROM THE RAIN. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 9
ALONG THE STRETCH, 2 DIFFERENT SIZES, ONE FOR A
LARGER GROUP CAPABLE OF ACCOMODATING A
MAXIMUM OF 10 PEOPLE AND ANOTHER GOOD FOR A
GROUP OF 6.
COTTAGES
 RENTABLE
STALLS

THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 9 RENTABLE STALLS, LOCATED

AND CONDENSED AT THE MIDDLE OF THE STRETCH. THIS
WAS CONCEPTUALIZED BECAUSE MOST OF THE TRASH
USUALLY GENERATE FROM THESE STALLS AND
POSITIONING THEM IN ONE AREA IS PART OF THE
SOLUTIONTO TO CONTAIN AND CONTROL THE DISPOSAL
OF THE TRASH GENERATED. TRASH BINS ARE PLACED
AROUND TO PROMOTE PROPER DISPOSAL AND
SEGREGATION OF WASTES.

THE FISHERMAN’S VILLAGE OR SOUVENIR SHOPS ARE

LOCATED AT THE END OF THE BOARDWALK. IT IS
COMPOSED OF RATTAN COVERED CANOPIES, SIMILAR TO
THAT OF THE COTTAGES, WHERE THE LOCALS CAN SET
UP TRANSIENT TABLES AND CHAIRS FOR THEM TO
DISPLAY THEIR VARIOUS GOOD THAT THEY CAN SELL
SUCH AS HAND MADE BRACELETS, NECKLACES, LOCAL
FOOD ETC.

 BANTAY
DAGAT

THE TOWER IS DESIGN TO SERVE AS A SURVEILLANCE

TOWER TO PROVIDE SAFETY FOR THE VISITORS AND THE
BEACH. BESIDES, IT IS ALSO A SIGN TO SHOW THE
FUNDAMENTAL IDEA OF HAVING A BEACH RESERVE
WHICH IS TO CONSERVE THE NATURE. IT IS DONE BY
DESIGNING THE TOWER TO ADOPT THE SHAPE OF THE
ROOT OF A TREE WHICH ACTS AS A REMINDER SAYING
THAT THE ROOT (ORIGIN) IS THE TRUE FORM THAT WE
MUST PROTECT AND REMEMBER.
