Task

Fast progress in technology has isolated us from our habitat, and in the process, we have lost our natural adaptations to nature changes. Can architecture be the tool to reestablish that lost connection?

Overview

We created one universal system through 3 databases, that given the specific inputs leads to just one location: Mc Arthur’s Wharf, Pilippines.

DATABASES

1. Understand the context. Collect the existing materials, and introduce
compatible ones obtaining all the ingredients we are going to work with
2. Studying local culture and how the community inhabits space. Compiling
traditional building techniques and testing how high tech retrofeeds low tech.
3. Acknowledge nature.  Setting up the layers as natural agents or conditions to
adapt to.

Challenges

Evolving Species

A species is the architectonic device that spatializes existing regeneration initiatives of Guimaras, and is formalized from the context: it is the natural and social forces what shape the entity and make it evolve over the years.
