manga fish port:

sustainable enhancement through aqua-architecture and biophilic design

An ineffective approach of designing and building Manga Fish port have made it unsustainable and underutilize. This is where the study comes in, by providing a broad overview of how design may solve these issues, as well as determining the extent to which architecture can mitigate and avoid the damage already caused.

The proposed structure’s governing concept is inspired by embracing one’s presence in the surroundings. Not being an impediment to the natural environment, which has long commanded the site’s grandeur panorama. The fish port is linked to relevant systems that offer solutions to inefficient space programming and underutilization. A longterm impact regarding its architecture provides flexibility and humility to its design.

Manga Fish Port, enjoy the ebb and flow of tides but may be subject to storm surges, typhoons, tsunamis, and sea level rise therefore there is a need to re-evaluate the architectural anatomy of this port. The concept of ‘Aqua-architecture’ and Biophilic Design would be beneficial in Manga Fish port.

The design aims to bring Tropical Brutalism to commercial edifices by utilizing materials such as concrete and wood that are easily sanitized in light of the structure’s handling of food resources that will later be distributed in various homes. It also aims to change people’s perceptions of fish ports and markets by incorporating passive cooling and high ceilings that make use of air flow and natural lighting.

Several factors that have plagued fish port design will be considered in the design. Concerns regarding ineffective post-harvest facilities, insufficient space for locals, underutilization of the site, parking, access, and waste management, to name a few are primarily addressed through Aqua-Architecture and Biophilic Design.

Even in its dilapidated state, the structure has long been adored by the public due to its ambiance and location, which offers a picturesque view of the mountains and mangrove forest. The proposed fish port will be more than just a fish port; it will be a vibrant fish market, a raison d’être for the city, an urban connector, and a pioneer in introducing Aqua-Architecture and Biophilic Design to the province. Improving existing port operations while providing generous open-space amenity maximizes the potential of the coastal barangay and ensures that this asset is accessible to all.

MIXED-USE SPRAWLING COMPLEX

The proposal seeks to create a smart growth community on where it can easily be adapted elsewhere, referencing towards the sprout of problems caused by ineffective planning. To create a single module that will be stacked on top and next to each other to accommodate any type of activity usage (may it be for residential, recreational, commercial etc.) on where they could have a sense of place whilst being one with the nature is the main goal.

Due to modernization & continues growth of economy, urban sprawl spread rapidly across our lands resulting to inefficient and ineffective planning thus leading to high infrastructure cost, decreased neighborhood quality, and increase energy consumption cost. Despite integrated with the an air conditioning system, the mixed-use building is designed for passive cooling, integrating jalousie windows as clerestory openings to ensure air circulation, high ceilings for better lighting, and an adequate space for planters all throughout the structure to encourage the addition of greeneries to improve the quality of air.

ABLI:

A RECREATIONAL PARK FOCUSED ON OPEN ACADEMIC PRODUCTIVITY AND SOLACE

Parks are recreational spaces built for productivity and enjoyment. Our designed park is specifically targetted to students since the site is located near the province’s top schools and universities. The park was carefully planned with regards to it’s main function which is to cater the focused individuals and be able to prioritize their activities such as serving as a co-working space for both academic and extra-curricular purposes, as well as an area for leisure and rest to provide them an alternate usage of their time in comfort and relaxation. Depicting the inseparable relationship between nature andlearning by incorporating humility to its design.

Color Selection together with natural elements are greatly emphasize in the design, to further assist students, learners, or just passer-bys to cope up with daily environmental stress. The century old Acacia tree circumscribing the area depicts the memoirs of the old academe: Holy Spirit School, paying homage to the space where learners of the institution mostly spent their days socializing. The proposed park is situated in the heart of the city, making the location impeccable for students from different academies to access the communal space. Furthermore, the lack of educational spaces around the city has become a problem and this space would help mitigate it.

Yellow Textured tiles are placed in the bathroom to create positive associations with bathing. Textured tiles are chosen to provide a sensory stimulation in order to occupy their mind while bathing.

Grab Bars are installed in all areas to offer support for older users. A shower Bench is installed to allow the elderly to bathe in comfort and in safety. A bathroom niche is placed next to it for easier reach for bathing necessities. Also, since most of the elderlies.

Recently, life has become much harder; the nonstop grind has been part of the daily living of most Filipinos. The sound of the alarm upon waking up, loud car horns, and never-ending deadlines bear much strain. One’s living space plays a vital role in helping oneself. Thus, a bathroom plays a crucial role in invigorating, rejuvenating, and connecting the users of a living space.

The concept revolves around doing multiple tasks with multiple users, even with limited space. This also aims to allow users the experience of identification and belonging to one’s territory, thus having a positive influence on the cognitive health of people. This design not only helps prepare and rejuvenate but also helps foster a family atmosphere of belonging and support.

The main priority of the design is to create a space that integrates and not segregates different generations in the same space. The idea is to create a space where it is playful, productive, and yet relaxing while still considering the security of the users.

The space is divided into two zones; the wet and dry zones. The damp zone is divided into two areas; bathing and toilet areas. Lastly, since the project is situated in a high-mass housing, integrating space-efficient approaches is a must.

For space efficiency, laundering, Drying, and even Steam ironing were included in the dry zone. The zones/areas are partitioned with accordion/sliding door panels with frosted glass panels to have a continuity of vision while maintaining privacy. Moreover, storage spaces are also considered through shelves, cabinetries, and niche spaces so that each user would have a place to store their belongings.

Each user is highly considered in the space in order for them to have a sense of place. Being included affects one’s well-being, thus increasing their sense of self. Security, Productivity, and Tranquility are the primary considerations. Grab bars and shower bench are installed in order to accommodate the needs of the elderly. A pull-out foothold is installed under the lavatory for younger kids. A high-quality product that ensures the longevity of each fixture, as well as an assurance of safety and ease of maintenance, is certain to calm the frantic minds of the adults in the space who are responsible for the space’s operation and finances.

Since a bathroom is where we all relax and sometimes contemplate, it must evoke a sense of cleanliness and comfort. This is achieved through wood elements, white, and gray tones on the finishes and furnishings. Floor tiles are non-skid to reduce accidents. Also, a yellow tile with different textures are also used to evoke a sense of fun and excitement add contrast towards the design. Moreover, plants in the bathroom can also add a sense of calmness and relaxation and also lessens the humidity

In this context, I imagine a japandi-inspired office building open to the street and the bustle of the city, with a wide, inviting front that provides a glimpse into the building’s inner workings as they are being designed. This office layout is adaptable, allowing for future increases in staff size simply by rearranging the furniture. Still, in the meantime, it would be a space for two senior architects and two assistants.
