What started out as a simple doodle turned out to be an exercise in design. Here, a simple rectangular module is clad in folded metal sunshades as an attempt to create a design emblematic of and adaptive in the country.
The mod 60's graphic pattern appearing like stylized banderitas - traditional of Filipino fiestas envelop a glazed building within. Treated as pixels in the country's colors, each unit form a stylized outstretched bird soaring upward. This "skin" gives texture to the box.
Following the diagonal geometries, openings have been defines in the corners. Raising the entire structure on stilts hark to the vernacular bahay kubo as a way to elevate living quarters from the ground, away from flooding and pests.
An angular ramp direct entry into the interiors.
