Harmonizing to Taft’s Genius Loci

context Sun & wind Location SWOT

-

OPPORTUNITY

-

Along Taft Ave., main road Nearby condos Walking distance to the LRT station Walking distance to CSB, St. Scholastica, DLSU, Arellano University Many trees: good to dampen the sound of the traffic Food establishments nearby Decently quiet compared to other areas in Taft Because R-Square Residences (residential condominium) is due north of the site, critical heat is not much of a problem

-

O

Young crowd Working class existing trees can add value to the land potential public transport station* using the U-turn slot to circulate the traffic along Taft Ave. - underground wiring will help highlight the building facade

WEAKNESS -

W

Congested traffic tight U-turn slot Along an intersection Powerlines can block the facade of the building informal settlers dirty streets (no proper segregation) lots of graffiti loud noise from traffic noise from LRT trains Mahogany tree can kill diversity, and grass may be limited Overall cleanliness is poor

THREAT

STRENGTH -

S

T

- big competition (R Residences) - Alleyway can be used for theft or kidnapping - Security is a big issue - prone to flooding
