TAWID - A CULTURAL 02

Design Concept

Tawid is a legacy designed after the woven threads passed down by the cordilleran master weavers to their succeeding generations. As a cultural center, the proposed project will serve as a statement promising that the art and traditions of cordillera will always be remembered and practiced.

Thus, the proposed project is named “tawid”, which is a cordilleran term for the act of inheriting.

To further emphasize cordilleran art and culture, elements seen on the plans and the structure’s exterior are patterns found in the region’s handmade textiles. Vibrant colors, such as red, yellow, and orange are used giving life to the building.
