AY CONVENTIONCENTER
ROOTED IN THE MEANING OF ITS NAME, "AYA" TO ACCOMPANY, TO INVITE, THE CONVENTION CENTER EMBODIES THE FILIPINO SPIRIT OF HOSPITALITY, COMMUNITY, AND SHARED JOURNEYS. MORE THAN JUST A STRUCTURE, AYA IS AN OPEN INVITATION FOR PEOPLE TO COME TOGETHER, CREATE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS, AND CELEBRATE IDEAS, CULTURE, AND PROGRESS.
THE DESIGN DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM THE NATURAL BEAUTY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP OF BATANGAS, USING LOCALLY SOURCED MATERIALS SUCH AS WOOD, BAMBOO, AND STONE TO CREATE A WARM, ORGANIC ATMOSPHERE THAT FEELS BOTH CONTEMPORARY AND AUTHENTICALLY FILIPINO. THESE ELEMENTS NOT ONLY GROUND THE STRUCTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXT, BUT ALSO SYMBOLIZE THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES EVERY DETAIL, FROM WOODEN TEXTURES TO OPENAIR SPACES ECHOES THE IDEA OF ACCOMPANIMENT AND CONNECTION, INVITING GUESTS TO STEP INTO A SPACE THAT FEELS BOTH GLOBAL IN VISION AND LOCAL IN SOUL.
