The House of Good Chi Traditional Chinese culture describes chi as the universal "life force" that permeates everything and links the surroundings together. It is believed that Chi is present in our bodies, as well as in our homes. In order to maintain good health, one's chi must be continually flowing. Chi-the life force-replicates the constant, unimpedible flow of waterfalls as it trickles down a mountainside, collecting on a tropical basin and invigorating every living being within its reach.

< Back City of Tomorrow: Megacities and the story of our future By: Ar. William Ti, Jr. for Inquirer.net Date: Sometimes it gets awfully confusing trying to figure out how to describe or define Manila. As we get well into the third decade of this millennium however, it is becoming evident that we are entering an age of megacities or urban regions. While the cities of our world have defined the story of humanity over the last century, the megacities or urban regions of today will begin to dominate the story of our future. 11 April 2021 Megacity We can no longer see Manila or even Metro Manila as the borders of our city. Defining or limiting policies and programs to its various component cities is futile. The second week of this current lockdown with its “NCR plus” designation shows just how far our megacity extends to. Mega Manila is one entity and one region that extends from Pampanga in the north to Batangas in the south. In this megacity, we will find 25 million urban residents with another 7 million ex-urban residents living in rapidly urbanizing areas. This city of 32 million people would rank as the 45th most populous country in the world or 10th in Europe. Mega Manila is the second densest and second largest urban region in the world and will remain so for the foreseeable future. The development and governance of such an entity require planning and organizations way beyond the capacity of its individual cities. The lack of a coherent regional political framework means that major policies for the region need to be enacted or developed by the national government. Failure to do so creates imbalance and inefficiency, if not outright confusion and mismanagement. As we begin to develop and reimagine our cities to face a “new normal,” the importance and value of good planning principles remain the same but become much more pronounced. We have begun to notice the inadequacies of our urban environment and will need to address this or risk creating unlivable conditions and extending the problems of Metro Manila to the greater region. Our human environment revolves around the relationship between the people and its nonbiological components. A human environment We need to address megacities beyond a planning perspective. The size and scope of the region goes beyond the rigid planning and policymaking tools based upon codified engineering and legal models. We must address it not as an artificial construct but as an organic and biological ecosystem that requires careful balancing and healthy growth. We need to look beyond command and control management, and adopt more strategic stakeholder-driven management of our human environment. The complexities of our urban ecosystems are often beyond the scope of linear problem, in which problems are solved through controlling devices such as laws, threats or contracts. We need to emphasize stakeholder inputs through the communities and adopt flexible protocols that incorporate constant evaluation and review of any interventions. Our human environment revolves around the relationship between the people and its nonbiological components. Data and numbers do not paint adequate pictures of living biomes. This is not painting by numbers nor is it an equation you can model and govern. We must focus on the interconnected web of relationships and interacting layers of information that define our city. As we try to explore and redefine how we approach the development of our city, a few key factors and issues remain paramount. We look forward to exploring these ideas together in the articles to come. Understanding must come before action, and understanding requires a diversity of viewpoints. How can we better understand and manage our human environment? We learn through observation and dialogue, through inclusion instead of partisanship, through balance instead of direction. I learned a pretty interesting quote this week. “Optimism is a duty. The future is open. It is not predetermined. No one can predict it, except by chance. We all contribute to determining it by what we do. We are all equally responsible for its success.” —Karl Popper Read full article here. Previous Next Previous Next

< Back City of Tomorrow: MAKATI By: Ar. William Ti, Jr. for Inquirer.net Date: The City of Makati is the premier central business district (CBD) and financial center of the Philippines. This city grew from Col. Joseph McMicking’s vision of the first masterplanned business district in the country. This continuing collaboration between Ayala Corp. and the City of Makati has served as an enduring template for the development of new cities and townships throughout the metropolis. 17 October 2021 The Makati CBD is centered on Ayala Avenue, home to the country’s premier financial and commercial institutions. This street is anchored by Ayala Triangle, which used to be the first international airport in the country. Today it is being redeveloped by Ayala Land with the new Ayala Triangle Tower Two anchoring this heart of Makati. Make it Makati Facebook Page As Makati continues to evolve and adopt to the needs of its people, it has gradually changed to accommodate ground level activities with street fronting retail and increased pedestrian connectivity. This has allowed it to present a friendlier, more accessible urbanity to its growing population. Makati faces multiple challenges as it strives to remain the prime commercial center of the metropolis. Metro Manila has evolved into a polycentric city with various commercial centers in its different component cities. Each of them provides more affordable land and housing prices or have broader and larger populations. Make it Makati Facebook Page Makati’s daytime population almost doubles with the influx of workers every day. The imbalance between housing stock and jobs has led to massive gridlocks during rush hours. This is further exacerbated by the pioneer residential subdivisions that hem in the city center and limits access to and from the rest of the city. It continues to turn its back to the Pasig River from which it grew and through which it is connected to the rest of Metro Manila. All these challenges combined with the changing times, mean that Makati must continue to reinvent itself to better serve not just its own residents but all the other communities to which it is intrinsically connected. A better Makati is coming about. As the city matures and accumulates layers of history and character, it will come to grow into a more vibrant and storied part of the metropolis. Jaime Velasquez Park The gleaming glass towers and wide avenues of Makati continue to capture the aspirations of the young professionals. Therein lies the opportunity to redefine what the future of our built environment can be. Makati, and with it Ayala, continues to shape the ideas of how a modern Filipino city should be throughout our archipelago. It is the golden mirror that reflects what our cities can be. A better tomorrow would show a much more human and sustainable reflection for our future. Design exploration requires the input of everyone in our community.
