Cultural Sustainability Project Philippines

YEAR 3, APRIL 2023

Project Proposition

The Philippines, a tropical archipelago located in south east Asia, is a developing country weighed down by land pollution. The Philippines has the potential to be a clean, luxurious, tropical sanctuary. However, economic circumstances has hindered that progress.

The scheme of the project is to mitigate the problem of land pollution in the Philippines. The goal is to make an impact on a local, community-wide scale. Therefore, this project can be applied to any community in the Philippines, or the entire world.

This project is a challenge to send a message about sustainability. The Philippines is one of the many developing countries that suffer due to poor sustainability practices. Although it is nearly impossible to come up with a simple answer to end this worldwide crisis, it is the small scale, local, creative solutions that generate ideas and begin change in the world.

Concept Statement

In order to generate change in the community, the people must acknowledge their cultural roots and skills. For centuries, the people of the Philippines have been gifted in craftmanship. Most Filipinos are naturally hardworking people and have an eye for long lasting, time enduring arts and crafts. Therefore, utilizing their gifts as a can help themselves in their communities, mediate the pollution crisis, and can create a strong incentive on cultural sustainability.
