CONCLUSION Tutuban in Future with the 67 Proposed Design 68 Designers' Page

TOD IN METRO MANILA Tutuban is one of the places you will first think of when it comes to holidays, exchange gifts for cheaper prices and Filipino Street foods. This is the place where the Father of Philippine Revolution, Andres Bonifacio was born and there’s a monument in front of the Tutuban Center Main station which is entirely dedicated for him. The Tutuban station of PNR is the landmark of most commuters who go here. The Tutuban centermall was the main station of the country’s first railway system. The said Centermall has a definitive colonial period architectural style, the façade has a combined brick wall and timber. This appearance implies that tutuban station is the central station of Manila.

TRAFFIC RELATED ISSUES Traffic congestion is the major issue in the Tutuban area which makes commuting inconvenient and unsafe for students, office workers, shoppers as well as local residents. It also triggers air pollution by vehicle emissions.

It is also aggravated by the poor traffic management of major roads. Another factor of this problem is the insufficient width of national roads surrounding the PNR property.

URBAN SPRAWL Due to high-density and low-rise housing development in Tutuban, the area becomes densely populated.

TUTUBAN Tutuban is known at present as a commercial center with stores selling relatively affordable products, which has made it a hub for both wholesale and retail shopping.

The definitive colonial period architectural style of Tutuban Centermall facade, which can still be appreciated in its combined brick wall and timber structure, would imply its history as it originally served as the Central Station of Manila.

This is the place where the Father of Philippine Revolution, Andres Bonifacio was born and there’s a monument in front of the Tutuban Center Main station which is entirely dedicated for him. The centermall was the main station of the country’s first railway system. The Tutuban station of PNR is the landmark of most commuters who go here.

HIGH RISK OF FLOOD Insufficient infrastructure including lack of storm water detention/ retention facilities of Tutuban makes the area highly risky in flooding.

HISTORICAL PRESERVATION The plan of dimolishing an architectural heritage should not be an option just to provide new space for new projects.

LIMITED PUBLIC SPACES Limited number of open space and parks is one of the major issues in the area in terms of disaster prevention and urban amenity.

HIGH CRIME INCIDENCE Due to lack of security, the area is prone to crime incidence such as snatching and burglary.

PROJECT BACKGROUND Tutuban occupies a full two city blocks from Recto Avenue on the south to Mayhaligue Street on the north where the present Tutuban railway station is located. It is bounded by Antonio Rivera Street to the east and Dagupan Street to the west, right in the middle of Manila's bargain shopping capital, Divisoria. It is along the dividing line between Tondo and Binondo and is neighbored by other popular bargain malls, including 168 Shopping Mall, Dragon 8, and 999 Shopping Mall. Lucky Chinatown and Chinese colleges Chiang Kaishek College and Philippine Cultural College is also Located here.

Issues with traffic, historical continuity, urban decay, urban sprawl, constrained public spaces, high risk of flooding, and rising crime incidence are the concerns of the public nearby.

The general public are bothered with the current situation of Tutuban but hoping that it will one day give them the safety, convenience, pride, and healthy community.

We sympathize with them because we can only envision how much further their economy would have come if they had a better community.

PROBLEM STATEMENT Tutuban, as well as other areas around Metro Manila, is experiencing traffic congestion and high crime incidences due to the rapidly increasing population and economic growth.

In this situation, many consumers are afraid to shop and visit the place because of the negative features that humans create. Unsafe and uncomfortable are the stigmas and norms where people identify what Tutuban is.

This project will divert the identification of Tutuban in the present state into the future. It creates a place where Tutuban be recognizable because of its' uniqueness and well-planned project.

TEKRAM THGIN NABUTUT

Achieving the main goal through...

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS To promote convenient access to public transport with a traffic flow control system that reduce the congestion lengths in urban road networks. To ensure everyone has access to basic services and housing that is suitable, safe, and affordable. Innovative, clever urban planning that develops resilient, safe, and affordable cities with healthy, inspiring living environments. Ensure that everyone has access to basic services and adequate, safe, and affordable housing, and improve slums. Put in place social protection systems and policies that are acceptable for all countries.

For the creation of an approach that focuses on all aspects of the users that will lead to a transformative and continuous progress and the prioritization of inclusivity regardless of their social standing. increase the resiliency of the underprivileged and those in danger. Make sure that considerable resources are mobilized from a range of sources, including through improved development cooperation, to give developing countries, especially the least developed ones, appropriate and reliable means to implement programs and policies to overcome poverty in all of its forms.

For the promotion of preventive measures, modern, effective healthcare for all people, and healthy lifestyles. Obtain universal health coverage, including financial risk mitigation, access to high-quality necessary medical services, and access to essential medicines and vaccines that are both safe and inexpensive.Support the creation of inexpensive vital drugs and vaccinations, as well as the development of vaccines and treatments for the diseases that primarily plague developing nations. Ensure that all people have access to family planning services, as well as information and education about sexual and reproductive health, and that reproductive health is incorporated into national strategies and programs.

Support employment by creating job fair facilities. Elevates well-skilled and knowledgeable workers for economic growth by classifying and setting standards for those businesses. Must defend workers' rights and put an end to child labor and modern slavery once and for all. Ensuring that everyone benefits from innovation and entrepreneurship to encourage job creation along with increased access to banking and financial services. Increase economic productivity through innovation, technical advancement, and sector-specific attention to high-value added and labor-intensive industries.

SITE ANALYSIS The Site Tutuban is known as a commercial center with stores selling affordable pricing goods, which has made it a hub for both wholesale and retail shopping, given its area close to the Divisoria Commercial District. Tutuban was originally the Manila Central Station. The current shopping mall was built on the site of the previous country's first railway station. The administration building and the main station now occupy the rear of its vicinity, as it has become a commercial center.

Challenge This location appears to be very selective for transportation terminals to have active and massive industrial and commercial centers in Divisoria to consider. Tutuban is now associated primarily with a variety of services and goods offered around its area as a commercial center, and by trying to occupy an active transportation hub, it appears that the site has never distanced itself from trafficrelated issues, be it among transportation or pedestrians. People come from different places with different cultures. At the moment, it is fairly obvious that Tutuban creates a complex in which such differences may come into conflict.

As shown in the figure, from moderate traffic, the congestion around the site is getting heavy along Dagupan Extension and Recto Avenue as the rush hours started. Delivery trucks parked along the road and pedestrians crossing the streets are the usual problems that add to traffic congestion.

Upon observation, moderate to heavy traffic occurs on Soler Street, Dagupan Extension, and Recto Avenue. It was caused by commuters that are out of work, school, duties, and commercial buildings on site. Delivery trucks parked along the road most especially on the Dagupan extension and pedestrians crossing the streets are the as well the problems that add up to the traffic congestion.

ZONING ZONE 1 Zone 1 is mostly occupied by the housing community which is inhabited by the local residents. The area provides the basic services and needs of the residents such as a health facility, public library, daycare center, mini market, parking lot, a community court, the terminals 1 and 2, evacuation hall, apartments, park and the commercial building 668, there will also be a barangay hall for the residents’ community concerns. Urban farming and solar farming are the elements that are integrated to help the residents in their living.

Dormitories and apartments are also provided to this zone for students and workers from around the area. The linear park will serve as a connection for people to the commercial part of the site.

ZONE 2 The busiest part of the site is zone 2 where the proposed NSCR Station, the main tutuban station, central plaza, public utility vehicle terminals, commercial centers, night market, triage station, and linear park with linear elements are located. At this zone there will also be fire and police stations, fast food park, Meralco and monuments. This is where most social interactions are taking place. As well as business transactions, transportation and some necessities of the public. The linear park will serve as a connection from zone 1 to zone 2

ZONE 3 Recreational activities are strategically zoned to this area and the commercial area where the busiest part is located. Multi-purpose event centers will be used for recreational, cultural, and other events. It will also serve as an evacuation center in times of calamities. Included in the zone are the PNR, existing apartments, housing, supermarket, daycare, biogas, MRF, railways and its parking and maintenance, and linear park . When it comes to transportation, the PNR station will be retained at its original location and each end of the zone will be provided a public utility vehicle terminal.

CONCEPT Tutuban, is a site located geologically in the center of different places wherein diverse beliefs, cultures, and people are bound together in one place.

"Habi" is a Filipino term for weaving, a technique that is treasured for its intricate patterns and sturdy craftsmanship. The designers aim to utilize the concept as the unifying element of the project. Like the one they do in weaving, the designers wanted to link the people, activities, buildings, and public space to create a community.

Architecturally, through the physical process of weaving, the designers gain a better understanding of the site and how the structures and people are woven into it.

The project aims to unify the community by linking environmental improvement and economic development which will also answer to the sustainable development goals that the project aims to solve. This will also divert the identification of Tutuban from its present state into an improved condition where it creates a discipline and respect between people and their environment.

LINEAR PARK

In the post-industrial era, linear parks attracted a lot of attention from city planners as a way to reinvigorate interstitial edge spaces. They are being developed in several cities as catalysts for the redevelopment of underprivileged neighborhoods and citizens to engage in physical activity. We Incorporated the idea of connectivity for the zones of the site for people to smoothly go from one zone to another resulting in creating of a Linear park that will serve as a connection between Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3.

ECO HOUSING

The project designers provided a residential building in order to create housing specifically for the informal settlers. Since they wanted to make sure that the place will result in an orderly functional community they made sure that no one will be left behind in the redevelopment project for Tutuban. In order for the designers to do this, they have to implement a recyclable and reusable material that is sturdy enough to be their homes. They came up with the idea of reusing the container bans from the closest pier in the area and turning it into shelters.

It will include urban farming, community space, classroom and workshop areas, and a food source.

The building will function as a community complex, providing food and healthy lifestyle options.

Urban farming not only increases community access to fresh produce but also provides economic and educational opportunities through jobs and growth.

TUTUBAN MIXED USE

Commercial buildings serve as a platform for the country's advertisements. while providing public spaces where people may work, shop, interact, and unwind.

Half of the facade will be a space for local brand advertisements promoting to support local products that our country can offer. Since Filipinos are known to be a religious race, in the commercial building' rooftop, the designers provided a space for church in order for people to not need to go outside the community to express their faiths.

PHILIPPINE NATIONAL RAILWAY TUTUBAN STATION

Since the PNR Station is actually one of the highlights of the current Tutuban making it a famous place to shop and bond with the peers and family, the designers made sure that the redevelopment prioritizes the redevelopment of PNR Tutuban Station. They change the area into a bigger space that can cater more passengers waiting and onboarding, providing food stalls for passengers to have a snack if they want to and creating a more spacious environment for more proper ventilation of the area. The designers also provided design elements such as Luggage room to store luggages, Charging stations, Vending machines, Map board stand, Phone booth, Guide and information displays, and ATM. The waiting area is also 'not your typical' one, it is also a food court that has lounges to make waiting more relaxing for passengers.

TUTUBAN IN FUTURE WITH THE PROPOSED DESIGN The Concept of Redefining Tutuban is from its objective of changing everyone’s perspective about it. The future is something we create so the team makes sure that they have a vivid vision of the future of Tutuban. The design aims to create more jobs for people and create an aesthetic and functional community. In the future, the design could also promote redevelopment and influence other communities to redevelop as well. This project could also make Tutuban a potential tourist spot that can contribute to the economy of the country. Since the team has also provided a specific area for police stations and fire stations, there will be a potential decrease in community crimes and the people will feel safe knowing that there are authorities that could protect them. As the designers redevelop the place, they also aim to redefine it and change ideas that people have about Tutuban. From a chaotic and messy place, with no order and things are random, they organized, planned, shared their thoughts, and combined their ideas to make Tutuban a community that has an order, uniformity, and functionality.

ALCABA, GUAL Maray na aldaw! I am Gual Alcaba, a National Chair, Committee on Ways and Means of United Architects of the Philippines UAPSA Nationals and Executive Director of Ways and Means at the National University of Manila. I am willing to understand the perspective and different layers of Architecture.

This Design 7 welcomes me to other perspectives and insights in interpreting and translating concepts into visualizations. This technique taught me to become more observant of how powerful the elements and visuals affect the entire board. This subject guides me to do better in oral presentations and organizing my time.

This project entitled "HABI" enlightens me on Transit-Oriented Development and Sustainable Development Goals which encourage me to become more sustainable in designing my future projects. It provides knowledge and inspiration to other Architecture students who will visit and study our research and project conceptualizations.

It might not be as perfect as others, but viewers will nurture the knowledge of what we have understood and learned during our time doing this.

This will be my training ground in designing massive and bigger scale. It showcases the importance of small details which has a large impact on the whole project.

There are always positive things in a negative side.

ANCHETA, JAESON

Mabuhay! My name is Jaeson Ancheta, a passionate and determined architecture student from Subic, Zambales. Entering this track was not my first choice and was not even on my list, but eventually, I learned to enjoy and love my journey in this course.

Being able to work with my former group mates from Design 4 gave me ease in collaborating and brainstorming with our endless ideas.

On the other hand, I am beyond grateful for having an opportunity to be guided by Ar. Claudia Montero who allotted her time imparting her knowledge to us.

Transit- Oriented Development project introduced me to a lot of new things to learn and allowed me to explore urban planning. For the past three months, I can proudly say that I have improved in different aspects such as giving solutions to every problem, considering others' ideas, and working with enthusiasm every time.

The skills and knowledge that I have earned here in this course will surely help me improve and develop new ideas for solving every architectural design problem as I continue to take this program.

BOLGA, ANA MARIA Hello, I’m Ana Maria Bolga, an outgoing person with a strong personality. I grew up in the City of Manila. I may not be the best for now but I am building myself to become an architect I aspire to be. I'm known as the one who always procrastinates but with this studio I feel like I wanted to always do more and excited about each output we're making. The eagerness in me awaken by how great our group works to make the best result. The result make me tell myself that all those sleepless nights are worth it and I'm also grabbing all the opportunities that I can benefit from and would result to a better executions of the designs.

Design 7 have taught me so much things about redeveloping a community. I shared all my thoughts and ideas in order for me to express myself in our design. Digging so much about the site and making all these things possible made me feel assured that "Yes we can" and little by little we are trying our best to create the best designs we have collaborated about. It's great to witness our individual growth and it's a really great experience to get to know more about my team and myself through this project.

This Project really changed my perspective about community development. It's complex yet exciting, we applied our individual perspectives on how a community should provide all the necessary things its residents need. With this output, we have provided our solutions by designing a community that has it all. Not just an aesthetically pleasing place but a functional one. As a member of the group, we built a relationship that became irreplaceable. And All the learnings and takeaways I’ve got made me grow as an architecture student. I am looking forward to incorporating all these into making my own designs.

ESTOCE, PAULINE BERNADETTE A.

HALUUU! I am Pauline Estoce, a 21-year-old architecture student whose devotion burns through every hurdle. An Executive Director for Press Relations of United Architects of the Philippines UAPSA NU. I've been an officer of this organization since my freshman year. I like to try or explore everything because I know I can learn and experience more things. They always said that I am "palong palo" in everything; even though the deadline is still far away, I am already planning what to do. I admit that I am competitive in everything, especially academics. I just avoid cramming and spend a lot of time doing that task to prepare better and have a good result.

I can say that this Design 7 subject is the most memorable and my favorite design because it gives me a lot of new perspectives and characters of architecture and how you can tell the story of your work. from the layout, visualizing, planning, designing, oral presentation, and solving problems this subject has taught me.

The project "HABI" became very difficult for us but at the same time exciting. it gives us more knowledge and awareness of the transportation we have in our country or our transit-oriented development. as we observe and open our eyes to the real situation of our country because of our poor transportation system, it encourages me to inspire young people through this design.

This project and journey opened my eyes to new perspectives and goals for the community. I'm sure that everything I learned in this journey and project will be incorporated in my future designs and projects.

PONCE, CHARMAINE

Hi, I’m Charmaine Ponce, 21 years old a fourth-year architecture student who is currently completing Design 7 as part of my journey to become an Architect someday. I'm part of an architectural organization as a Director of Way and means of United Architects of the Philippines UAPSA NU. As I continue this path of career it gradually made me realize that Architecture not just a is a passion, a vocation, or a business. It takes courage to practice architecture because it will provide commodity and delight that could serve the community to build a better and livable place.

The Design Project helps me to develop my skills in conceptualizing and exchanging ideas as it set off a tremendously special endeavor for me in ways that have never previously occurred. Our group visited our site in Tutuban to learn its information and its history.

With those analysis, we were able to further understand how we are going to plan and design the redevelopment of the area. I learned to be more aware of how the pieces and visuals influence the entire board using this technique. This topic helps me plan my time more effectively and perform better in oral presentations.

This project, "HABI," educates me on transit-oriented development and Sustainable Development Goals, which motivates me to design my future projects in a more sustainable manner. We have presented our solutions in this output by creating a community that offers everything. Not only beautiful in appearance but also useful.

We developed a bond with the others in the group that was indescribable.
