SUHIRON - BOHOL 04

Design Concept

Located in the province of Bohol, the proposed domestic airport is designed after a local fish in the region that is known as “bangsi” or the flying fish.

Bangsi came from the exocoetidae family, which name translates to “exploring the outdoors” - a phrase that all travelers are aiming for whenever they up to visit bohol. These flying fish may be seen rapidly leaping out all over the Bohol sea, making the building a mass that signifies how the waters of bohol is able to meet the sky.

Thus, the roof design imitates the form of a group of bansi leaping up from the airport structure; and its name, “suhiron” is a boholano term that translates to exploring.
