  • City of Tomorrow: Where do we go from here | WTA Design Studio

    < Back City of Tomorrow: Where do we go from here By: Ar. William Ti, Jr. for Inquirer.net Date: Exactly a year ago from today, we brought together a special group of people to help augment the capacity of our hospitals by building emergency quarantine facilities. This program was spearheaded by myself, Dr. Glenn Angeles and Maj. Carmelo Jaluague. We felt that the best way for us to help fight the pandemic was by making sure that the hospitals had enough room for everyone who needed it. 28 March 2021 Our idea to build a few prototypes quickly evaporated as the events overtook us and we ended up building 75 facilities all over Mega Manila. We needed so many people to help build, organize and raise funds for this endeavor: Gen. Wilhelm Ilagan, Prim Paypon, Jason Ang, Dan Quiaoit, Banjo Badayos, Arvin Pangilinan, Jeffrey Cheah, Rebecca Plaza, Rommel Laquian, Denise De Castro, Danny Ko, Gene Go, Pauline Morales, Luca Arcari, Felipe Agustin, Eric Salanguit, Eric Tan, Kryzta Castillo, Arianna Rodriguez, Justin Wee Eng, Alyana Acacio, Benjee Mendoza, An Bermejo, Jason and Nikki Buensalido, Sonny Sunga, Arthur Austria, and over 400 other architects, soldiers, builders and vendors who came together to make the facilities happen. Through it all, we always thought to ourselves, if it takes an entire village, then let us begin by working together as a village, and together, we build as one. Today, after more than a year in this pandemic, we are facing anew an unprecedented surge in cases and our city is once more locked down. Movement is restricted and communities are isolated and fearful. I find myself so saddened and constantly asking myself what more can we do? How can we help mitigate the spread of this pandemic as we patiently wait for the respite that widespread vaccination will provide? Much has been said about this pandemic being a great equalizer, and much has been said about asking or even demanding everyone to stay home and keep safe. Yet not everyone in our community has the financial or even spatial resources to do so. This pandemic respects no borders or boundaries, we cannot stop it without looking out for our most vulnerable communities. The most vulnerable communities are those where people are packed into the smallest and harshest living conditions. They are the communities where people cannot just stay home simply because there is no room for them. They are the communities where people need more spaces and amenities to be made available and within reach. You cannot ask a drowning man why he did not learn how to swim, nor can you ask him to stop holding on to your boat. You throw him a lifeline or jump in to save him. Community street parks CSP6 We are proposing the development of community street parks not just for our affluent neighborhoods, but for those who need it more. We seek to reclaim the streets for the people and help build stronger community bubbles by passively minimizing unnecessary travel and commute. What does a community street park do? These parks provide immediately accessible open space. It increases the space available to people from sidewalks to whole streets. It provides the leisure spaces that they would travel to in their immediate vicinity. It passively lessens commute, mass gathering and alleviates intimate crowding. It is a hyperlocal passive solution to cross pollination between communities. What is inside a community street park? Entertainment, playgrounds, trade, workshop, food and space to alleviate our vulnerable communities. The parks will provide entertainment with free internet and movies and free books from a library. It will provide non-tactile playgrounds for kids. There will be a trade hall for local vendors and a workshop to provide tools and teach crafts to augment incomes. It will provide garden patches to augment food supply. Most importantly, it will provide shaded open air seating space for people who need them. Where can we put a community street park? We need these parks in tightly packed streets where informal settlements and low rise community housing cannot provide adequate space. Areas like Tondo in Manila or Pinyahan in Quezon City are prime candidates for a better urban environment. Make better communities We need to galvanize and empower the private sector to help our communities. We need leadership that provides achievable goals and allows for stronger collaboration with the people on the streets. We need better information and feasible solutions to the crowding we find in our cities. Where do we go from here? We stay home, we stay safe. We make our homes and our communities better.

This Arts and Culture District shall renew the existing institutions in the area by creating a gateway facility and providing complimentary lifestyle spaces as well as opening up the surrounding public grounds. The project seeks to redevelop the urban space of the entire district to rebrand it as an attractive and viable space for leisure and relaxation.

This unique urban situation shall allow for greater creativity and increased experiential exposure for the students, government workers, and commuters who pass through the site daily. It shall be an enriching and uplifting experience that allows for a better image of the city. The project centers on 4 main interventions. • The creation of a Museum of Contemporary and Performing Arts shall act as a gateway to increase interest in the area among the youth. • The opening up of the Mehan Garden to the public allows us to stitch together the entire district from the Metropolitan Theater all the way to the historic Manila City Hall. • The city hall will relocate transactional services to the ground floor to create a transparent public service culture and the inner courtyard of the city hall will host cafes and other facilities. • A new public parking facility will accommodate the vehicles currently parked on the streets. The Manila Arts and Culture District, together with the pedestrian links that shall be established to connect with the surrounding areas shall create an additional destination point for both foreign and domestic tourists. It adds a much needed third day to their itineraries, a walkable and thoroughly enriching destination that shall bring together the walled city of Intramuros and Rizal Park.

The development creates a connection between the busy road network and the path for pedestrians, aiming to promote positive vibrance while linking the project to its surrounding environment. With mobility and maximizing the user’s experience in mind, WTA presents a pedestrian bridge designed to accommodate economic and leisure activities. By providing sufficient space for vendors as well as human collaboration, the walkway becomes a lively path that elevates the experience of commuting from point to point. A viewing deck overlooking Laguna de Bay is designed with fluidity, expressing smooth elegance and a strong connection with the lake. Wood and metal sheets clad the viewing deck structure, while glass railings make the walkway both subtle and safe. A tower – an elevated park - located in the same area, develops the Belvedere concept that builds a structure in an elevated position to provide lighting, ventilation, while taking advantage of a fine view. The entirety of the project is one that is subtle in the sense that it does not obstruct any view from the ground level. It blends with the environment it is in, while still standing out. Not only does it serve as infrastructure but as a feature for the community. 2020 Pasig River Esplanade SM Legazpi Grand Terminal Catbalogan Airport Development Antiao Riverwalk Samar Linkages The Riverlane Bulacan Factory Office Pasig Ferry Station Journey by the Bay Lotus Central Terminal Bataan Grand Terminal
