SELF-CONTAINED VERTICAL COMMUNITY FOR TYPHOON VICTIMS

Design 425 - Esquisse no. 1

S.Y. 2021 -2022

One of my 4th year plate called BANGON: A community Housing, was a great start for me to improve at my bigger scale plates. It was designed to help families that are affected by the typoon, and start their lives with optimism.

My vision was to create a community housing without limiting my design imagination. that is why I incorporated the idea of brutalism and inclusion of retro-concrete molding to highlight the buildings identity as a low-cost building with textured beauty.

The design and planning process I did was actually inspired with the existing housing in Melbourne, the Nightingale Housing, which considers affordability and sustainability at the same time. Every building of this project was named as “Nayon” with the particular number of the building itself; eg. Nayon 1. The word Nayon was inspired from my neighborhood names when I was a child which actually means village.
