PUERTO AZUL CONCEPT MASTERPLAN UPDATE

core 1

Puerto Azul, Ternate, Cavite, Philippines MASTERPLAN REVIEW, UPDATE, CONCEPT, ECONOMIC STUDY As the capstone planning and design studio, the first seven weeks of studio was devoted to the large-scale planning process for the review of the Puerto Azul Masterplan. Working as a team in conjunction with the masterplanners in Singapore and our client, Boulevard Holdings Inc, we looked at everything from the region’s natural resources

core 3

and rich cultural history to the city’s current socioeconomic situation. Our masterplan highlights the important landscape resources that would make Puerto Azul an eco-destination nearest to Metro Manila. By accentuating

core 2

Core one via greenway paths and river corridors, the future residents and users of Puerto Azul will gain greater accessibility to the bay as well as revitalize the ecologically sensitive areas.

The master plan process for Puerto Azul Core 1 has evolved from the approved Structure Plan, taking into account: the client’s conditions of approval and their aspirations. From these factors clear planning and design principles and a subsequent vision framework were generated to drive further iterations of the structure plan. These principles were used to generate structure plan options for Core 1, which were then tested against the project vision and objectives to arrive at a preferred concept master plan.

The rigor and logic applied to this master planning process will result in an appropriate and achievable development outcome for Puerto Azul, reflective of the client’s aspirations.

The existing, varied topography of Puerto Azul is characterised by a series of ridges, hills and valleys. This topography is retained in the SP for the following reasons: • To enable integrated environmental management systems, particularly regarding water.

• To maintain visually striking landscape elements; hill to sea, unique to Cavite.

• To enhance contained site views and long distance views to Corregidor and Manila bay.

• To obtain microclimatic benefits through the channelling of cooling breezes.

• To provide access, and physical and visual connections, to open space.

Character imagery have been proposed both on the architecture and landscape. Each district were given its unique ambience. The Gateway,the first precinct zone that greets visitors to Puerto Azul coming from the Ternate-Nasugbu Road shall use its existing landscape character to create a landscape vision for the said area. The Gateway’s landscape is envisioned to be pastoral, taking of from the landscape terraces of the agro-tourism area and the tree grove of the open spaces. The streetscape will be very rural and picturesque, making use of trees to create enclosures along the road, and opening up view corridors of sweeping terraces or open spaces. The hardscape materials that will be used are rough-hewn to give the character a rural and domestic vibe.

The open space network within Puerto Azul is a multi-layered system designed to be fully integrated within the wider context. Layout of the site-wide public open space network takes cues from natural systems to create spaces that embrace natural cooling, while synergies are created through the careful siting of complementary land use functions with open space amenity. The open space network takes advantage of opportunities for views and vistas provided by the undulating landform across the site. This network is also key to the integrated stormwater management system that will be proposed for the site.

This site section illustrates the topography and the challenges it proposes. Based on the basic topography information the MP team have managed to work with the contours to provide a spread of land uses that maximise the views and slope conditions where possible.

Working with a team of masterplanners together with the client, a Plan has been crafted which aspires to be the SEA

the L’Idrizzo or “Address” within Cebu City, a place that marries a rich public realm with distinctive architecture and provides homes for all income levels. This 8-week concept masterplan includes a preliminary stage of site visit, workshops and client meetings. After which a masterplan review was done and to consider the existing reclaimed

context, a possible competitor near to the site, and the goal of connecting all open spaces into one loop that leads to the constructed commercial center across the highway.

A direct public open space trail connection has been established to guide residents to the bridge linking L’Idrizzo to Il Corso and the many shopping and fine dining opportunities.

Develop sustainable community character by integrating a sense of place, movement, variety and interest within the Community.

Make more pedestrian friendly streets: The street right of way and buffer size and location have real impacts on the commu­nity character.

The approved land use plan will establish key components of the development character for Citta di Mare.

Create a landmark destination and strong differentiator as an attractive investment for SRP locators, and a significant anchor within the SRP.

Implement circulation improvements and traffic calming to disperse, slow and better integrate vehicular traffic in a pedestrian-oriented environment.

The Design approach for the public realm respects and enhances the site edges and open space to create a habitat for people.

All of the residential units, civic facilities, and office buildings will be accessed via a simplified roadway internal roadway system that connects to the four roadways surrounding the property. The main access into the project from the waterfront will be a new roadway in the center of the property flanked by signage and landscape welcoming visitors and residents to Citta di mare. The terminus of this roadway will be a traffic circle and civic feature in the middle of the Plan meeting the central park. Other roadways will radiate outward from this location. In short, the circulation system for pedestrians will be via the extensive open space system and vehicles will utilize a simple logical modified grid to access the individual parcels. A public transit stop will be accessed from near the bridge connection to Il Corso.

Citta di Mare will include housing choices for all income and demographic levels by offering affordable housing, mid-range housing and luxury living in an environment that will appear as one development. Luxury units will have their own address and security and be crafted with a higher quality of materials and appearance. Affordable units will occupy the western corner of the property, with the recently completed San Remo project as the initial offering. The majority of the units will appeal to the mid-income level and be located adjacent to the other residential offerings.

The first impression of Citta di Mare is viewed heading south from Cebu City along the waterfront where a skyline will appear of low, medium, and high-rise structures.

The client was given three options from an urban design perspective. Each of the options have their own unique site character, catalyst spaces and open space framework. Afterwards, the massing study is done to visualize the site in a 3D view, before proceeding to the preferred option and computing for the target F.A.R., land uses, among others.

THE DESIGN PROCESS

The site demands further articulation of the existing masterplan. There are already existing buildings, sold lots, roads, infrastructure and vegetation, so a layer of these issues must be overlaid over the plan to identify key areas and spaces that needs to be

In line with this, Data Land Inc., wishes to develop a parcel of their land in the western coast of the island into a ecoresort. This___ hectare development is situated __km from Puerto Princesa, the major city and jumpoff point of this island.The vision caters to a spectrum of clients, ranging from honeymooners, nature and culture enthusiasts, to families and even bachelors. Development of the masterplan entailed an integrated approach, forming four teams -- masterplanners, environmental analysts, economists, and engineers. As part of the MP team, the conception of design is needed in accordance with the studied technical aspects, natural factors, market values and resort design considerations.

Apart from the flat area, majority of the slopes in the area are north and northwest facing.

Development on high elevation areas can cause disruption of soil stability and extra cost due to earth stabilization work.

A wide selection of villas and residential products (from rice paddy villas, mountainside, to lakeside villas) is provided, in consideration to sustainable construction practices.

Sustainability is a main driving force for the development and will make use of renewable energy, rainwater harvesting, patronizing local products and low-impact outdoor activities.

The proposed lake is the result of the 100-year flood analysis, considering that the site is a major catchment area of runoff from the adjacent mountains. The lake will also serve as a visual amenity and may add extra revenue to the resort. Morevoer an island at the center will house a church, to add both architectural and natural depth to the landscape.

05 Palaruan ni Juan A Proposed FIlipino Amusement Park Tagaytay City, Cavite, Philippines AMUSEMENT PARK DESIGN, PARK GUIDELINES, CONCEPT TO CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS This study aims to harness the full potential of landscape design and espouses the amalgamation of indigenous and native game cultures together with the present western technology trends and styles. The study will therefore creatie a unique Filipino recreational landscape that would bring pride to their culture and identity through holistic spatial programming and creative amusement park design. The challenge is the application of this Filipino recreation into the landscape. This 6-month design thesis entailed a comprehensive study of existing sites, research of supporting frameworks, preliminary plans, and final production of drawings up to the construction level.

Picnic Grove and Nature Park is located at Brgy.

Sungay East, Tagaytay City and is owned and operated by the City Government of Tagaytay. The property has a total area of 18,497 sqm, or 18.5 ha.

The site is bounded by a national road to the north and existing circulation roads inside the site are limited. The rest of the area is used by pedestrian access. The Nature park area to the west is detached.

The site has a gentle sloping terrain coming from the north (8-15% slope) and goes down to moderately steep terrain in the southeast area. (15-30% slope).

Water runoff goes directly southward.

Mature trees mixed with secondary growth proliferates the site especially in the steepest slopes wherein the roots of the trees help hold the soil to prevent erosion.
