< Back Business Mirror: Building the City of Tomorrow, Today: Anthology Festival 2018 Amor Maclang | Business Mirror 6 February 2018 “I TOTALLY agree with my good friend and co-advocate, Arch. William Ti, three things make a city beautiful—the vibrancy of its people, the terroir and architecture. Together, these form the foundations of a city and its culture.

This proposal is a 22-kmlong bridge between Bataan and Cavite. It develops a backbone of transportation that would be composed of a highway and a High-Speed Train. This would closely connect the different cities around the Bay (Manila, the new Airport, Naic, Corregidor, Balanga, Hermosa and Malolos) with the loop taking only one hour. By creating a direct link between Bataan and Cavite, the highway would be the perfect opportunity to create a bypass connecting the North and the South, while avoiding Manila. The Backbone would accelerate the development of satellite cities and, at the same time, emphasize the polycentric development encouraged by JICA. These cities would be able to host some functions of Manila, attracting BPOs, universities and even government offices. With its functions scattered in the nearby cities, Manila will be able to regenerate itself without compromising its development. This bridge would be the longest in the Philippines with a section of 17 km between Cavite and Corregidor, and a 4km section between Corregidor and Bataan. The bridge is designed to disappear when reaching Corregidor, becoming a tunnel and leaving the surface of the historical island untouched, allowing the creation of a stopover for the High- Speed Train for easy access by the public. The design of the bridge is inspired by the sea, the surrounding mountains and the skyline of Manila the bridge is facing. Each span of the bridge is designed based on the perception of boats that used to link Manila to the rest of the world, transforming the bridge into a fleet of Galleons guarding the Bay. A tower, which is a revisited version of a lighthouse accessible by the public, adds a vertical element to the bridge while emphasizing the historical relationship of the Filipinos to the sea and symbolizing guidance for the years to come.

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. 2021 Sulong Manila Saint Scholastica Chapel Balanga City Hall Museo Pambata Reading Corners Highlands Chapel Trece Martires City Hall Chinese Embassy Cultural Section Merit Field Stupa Bataan Provincial Capital Masterplan Supreme Court Catbalogan City Hall Philippine International Exhibition Center Guggenheim Helsinki DSWD Elderly and Child Care Facility Church of the Multitude Tagaytay City Hall New Taipei City Museum of Art Taichung Cultural Center Ferdinand E.

The vision is to establish Bukidnon Aquatics as a state-of-the-art facility to support our nation's world-class competitive swimmers. WTA's design scheme resulted from combining form and program, breaking down the complex’s structure to carve out spaces for congregation and community activity. This led to the formation of a habitable roofline and urban plazas around the scheme, providing a promenade for both the Bukidnon government and its people to engage with each other on various occasions.
