With an extensive collection, The Book Stop is a network of mobile spaces spread across the city each garnering far more foot traffic than the typical library. In a modern society where no library or bookstore can beat the collection of books that are available online, The Book Stop refrains from trying to reinvent the purpose of libraries. It instead works on rethinking the physical architecture and the distribution system of libraries, emphasizing casual serendipity and ease of access. The project is a pop-up public library network that explores how libraries need to evolve to engage with and attract contemporary users and promote reading in the next generation, as well as galvanize communities by creating community events where people can interact and share ideas. The project is intended to serve three distinct functions with a social component, a research component, and a program prototype component. The project maps out various public spaces throughout the city that have a high volume of pedestrian traffic. It serves as a redistribution point for old books, allowing the open and free sharing or transfer of ideas from one person to another. Its mobility allows it to be placed in the most underserved areas and allows it to reach a broader slice of the population. It moves from neighborhood to neighborhood mapping and responding to local issues and creates a platform for civic discussion and community development. As a research tool, it serves as a data-gathering center for the demand for public libraries in various neighborhoods. This allows planners and policymakers to determine where libraries can make the most impact and which communities can utilize them the most. The Book Stop Project is a prototype that determines the role that libraries play in contemporary urban societies and the shape that they may take as society develops and grows. How have we changed in our interactions with libraries and what sort of network depth and breadth would be ideal for our cities? The project seeks to reinvent the place and space that a library embodies and not the platform itself which distributes books and encourages reading.

Two of the four foundations for the object's main anchor are located within the depths of the denser cluster of trees- within the forest. The other two are quasi-exposed, sprouting like old tree trunks among the younger trees. Casted and built on site- these are the foundations. The base along with the 2.4m high earth mound are the only elements that are built on-site. The four posts, that vary in height (31.89m-26.60m-26.10m-20.85m) are built off-site, transported and installed. These are the pillars. Somewhere, simultaneously, during the construction of the posts, the mound and the foundations-the mirror, an agglomeration of unexpected materials, is crafted-proving for a very efficient course of assembly. At its core is a 150mm x 150mm welded wire mesh with a diameter of 20m that is sandwiched by four angle bars that traverses its cross section and two angle bars that radiated from the object's center to halfway of its circumference. Its perimeter is braced with two adjoining angle bars that is pierced by two 20mm stranded wire cable that intersect each other and pierces out on to the other side. Then an army of used and new styrofoam boxes are stacked and glued to each other creating an almost half sphere. Its highest point is 2.4m. The assembly is mirrored on the other side of the mesh resulting in a saucer like object. After which an amalgam of old and new-seamed jute sacks are employed to hold the boxes together. The jute sacks are then fastened to the inner part of the circumferential angle bar. After holding the boxes tightly the upper portion of the object is covered with a seemingly second-hand weather proof tarpaulin. The lower part is covered in a highly reflective metalized mylar skin a smooth surface that is then coated with a reflective paint to augment its reflectivity. This is the mirror. The site, which now have four erected pillars is now ready to welcome its new object- a colossal lightweight, reflective object. This object would be erected employing the pulley mechanism mounted on the pillars. It is now complete. This is Sousveillance: Under Big Brother's Skirt.

The terminal was proposed to be integrated with the city transport system. Geographically located as the central terminal of Legazpi, the site’s road network accommodates a wide range of transport systems that serve the dense commercial and institutional district. The main bus terminal space is approximately 1,350 square meters, composed of spaces for security check, ticketing booths, waiting area, food kiosks and dining shops, and souvenir shops. Operations of the terminal include various modes of transportation such as buses, jeepneys, AUV’s, taxis, and tricycles - all of which operate 24 hours. The Bicol region is known for its flourishing fish industry and for having the world’s largest fish, the Butanding (whale shark). The use of fishnet and the flowing pattern as the basis for the facade of the proposed Grand Central Terminal will help depict the rich aquaculture of the region. Cladding details reinforce the visual perception of motion. Converging diagonals in the canopy emphasizes the direction to the entrance of the building. Foot traffic from one transport system to another will be minimized through an integrated layout. A patterned walkway serves as wayfinding for both the passengers and the pedestrians, while it also serves as a connection for the bus terminal and city transport terminal on the site. 2016 Pasig River Esplanade Catbalogan Airport Development Antiao Riverwalk Samar Linkages C-6 Elevated Pedestrian Bridge The Riverlane Bulacan Factory Office Pasig Ferry Station Journey by the Bay Lotus Central Terminal Bataan Grand Terminal
