The concept works around the two existing buildings designed by the National Artist - Architect Leandro Locsin. ‘The East Grid’ was named after its location in the East Triangle. The word ‘grid,’ represents power grids representing the four major power sector companies it will host, as well as Locsin’s grid of columns. Five main design points were synthesized in master planning the Diliman site. The first is the East Grid as a gathering point or hub. Second is the dialogue between old and new which WTA hopes to achieve by enhancing the presence of the Locsin building through open courtyards and grid reflections on-grid and mass. A multi-dimensional landscape is central to creating a holistic high-rise development. Engaging and active green spaces throughout the vertical floor space of the development will create a rich and dynamic program. This works in conjunction with the firm’s other design goals—to enhance work, life, and health through biophilic open spaces. The design embodies energy-efficient systems and innovative and sustainable design ideas. The East Grid integrates pedestrian-friendly spaces, interactive installations, bike trails, green promenades, alfresco spaces, and play areas into a development that will ensure a net leasable space of about 400,000 square meters.

Planning principles for the future demand a flexible and adaptable floor area as technology constantly improves the production process. The new Security Plant Complex rationalizes the program from a collection of individual structures into a united whole that provides maximum flexibility and allows for constant optimization. Each facility occupies a complete floor that allows for increased efficiency and connectivity and are linked through a linchpin security core. Integrated secure planning allows for compartmentalized operations and movement. The entrance plaza is divided into a collection of plazas protected by multiple security barriers. Operations and transits are shielded from observation via careful consideration of sightlines. The vertical core connects production operations with distribution and is adjacent to a secure courtyard that ensures and secures fresh air circulation in the entire facility. CENTER OF BIODIVERSITY The Philippines is a global biodiversity hotspot. The natural barriers incorporated into the BSP Security Plant Complex present us with an opportunity to create development that embraces nature by not just preserving but by enhancing it. These natural barriers take advantage of the site's unique qualities of pristine and impassable conditions to create a natural sanctuary for endemic birds and other wildlife. These sanctuaries with the water moats, together with the sloping towers symbolize our mountainous tropical archipelago in a natural landscape that reflects the richness and biodiversity of our islands. The Security Plant Complex will be the first central bank facility in the world to also serve as a sanctuary for our living environment. LIVING FACADE The living façade is a showcase of over 250 endemic Philippine trees and an exposition of tropical shrubs and plants. A constant display of life that shields the administrative building from direct sun exposure and minimizes thermal heat gain from the afternoon sun. Inside is a ventilation stack that naturally cools the interior spaces and allows for a post-covid work environment with fresh air and green surroundings. The living façade allows us to grow over 400 trees on site and provide 23,000 sqm of green roof space to absorb over 70 tons of carbon emissions each year, while still preserving the majority of the single roof area for solar panels and collecting up to 70 million liters of rainwater a year. NATURAL FORMS The financial system is built upon trust. Trust based upon legitimacy and strength derived from honest authenticity. The 3 main facilities are stacked layers that create an indelible rectilinear form. This stable foundation is clad in raw nickel, copper, and zinc. A reflection of the layering of our built forms, from bahay kubos to bahay na batos. This is a functional icon. A green landmark. An enduring icon dedicated to future generations. A unique sanctuary and living monument to the future of our nation

< Back The future is creative By: Ar. William Ti, Jr. for Inquirer.net Date: We always talk about smart cities and how technology can help change our lives. We imagine a bright future where green cities prosper, where technology and infrastructure make urban life convenient and efficient. We all want a smart and beautiful city to live in. But what makes cities smart? What makes our cities and lifestyles delightful and charming? 15 July 2021 The single greatest factor that can affect our future is the training and nurturing of smart and creative people. These are the people who bring ideas to life, who create opportunities for growth and development. Creatives are the people who add value to the products of mass production. They make our lives better with the fruits of their knowledge and skills. Learn more about The Philippine Creative Industries Bill and check out Creative Industries Philippines on Facebook. It is the creative industry that provides substance to our daily lives. Each song, each book, each city, each concert or event, each and every building or meal—these are all the fruits of our creative passions. As the future comes to pass, the creative industry will increasingly be vital to how we shape our future. It extends to our farmers and builders, weavers and artists. Each one of us is, in one way or another, a part of this industry. We create with our everyday actions and decisions, we are all part of this vast web that embraces our society and culture. The Filipino spirit has always been full of passion and vigor. The talents and skills of our creatives are second to none. It is a ready potential that only needs support to grow into an engine for development. The Philippines needs to define its focus and support for the creative industry. The Philippines needs to define its focus and support for the creative industry. The institutionalization of a body to help cultivate and guide the growth of our creatives can greatly affect the lives of so many. The government’s investment in our creatives will be a strong indicator for business and industry to also participate in the growth of this sector. So who are our creatives and what do they need? They are artists and designers, performers and organizers, directors and producers, writers and media developers—they are everyone who ever drew out an idea or performed. Our creatives need protection from exploitation. They need financial support and facilities for training and research. The industry needs representation to better coordinate synergistic endeavors and champion its goals to connect with the wider global community. We need to invest in our creatives to enable not just talent, but also productivity. We must take advantage of our demographic dividend by cultivating the creative spirit of this next generation of Filipinos. The cities of both yesterday and tomorrow are not about roads and buildings. It is not about the concrete and steel of the industrial age but about people and communities. The soft infrastructure that makes our cities livable and attractive lies in the hands of our creatives. Smart cities have smart people. Nothing else matters more.Design exploration requires the input of everyone in our community. We invite everyone to come join our explorations on the human environment.

These constant developments build up a diverse set of structures that need to be integrated through site development to identify as part of a whole. Using proportional scale to integrate the annex building levels, the base and the contrasting height is the primary focus of the design. The extruded masses on the design will reflect clustered zones as seen in the campus developments integrated by greens and open spaces. Instead of struggling to stand out, the emphasis is to create a comfortable familiarity through scale and proportion.

Highly varied amenities are allocated throughout the building with a range of commercial and corporate offerings such as office spaces, cafes, retail stores, alfresco spaces, public parks, and restaurants. Residents in the condominium, workers in the offices and visitors of the public areas have the opportunity to enjoy these facilities whilst maintaining private access through specified elevator strategies. Responding to Manila’s increasingly limited available land, Les Saisons maximizes land use by bringing together different programs. The design integrates different needs and demands into one structure. WTA recognizes that given the building’s height, there is responsibility involved in designing a visually significant building. For this reason, site context and different massing were carefully investigated to present an optimal design strategy.

Beyond its programmatic and spatial characteristics, it can provide a framework for emerging communities. The city hall will stand as an architectural salute to Manila’s heritage and a public focal point for a reestablished community. Representing not only a visual re-imagining of Manila’s identity but a physical continuation of the town’s history. Our hope is that this town hall is not only an effective seat for the local government but a space that celebrates Manila’s history and establishes an enduring symbol of local identity. As they stand, the city hall is a government building. We have an opportunity to reimagine it as a space for representativeness, spatial quality, functionality, flexibility, comfort and sustainability. The City Hall should be responsive to the local climate of Manila. Borrowing from both tropical design concepts and the wind mechanisms of the Vinta, the city hall strategically arranges elements in buildings and structures to respond to specific conditions of weather, sun and climate prevalent in the Tropic Region.
