What is the ideal Arkitekturang Filipino for School for Tomorrow?

All sites are different, explains Archt. Jose Pedro Recio, You have to bring out the
potential of the site, which if attacked only from the point of view of architecture and
engineering, could still fall flat. He points out that sense of arrival is one of the first and
crucial thing to consider as it is sets to the tone for the entire experience of a place, which
has a lot of point.

Architects designs a place wherein it can be both beneficial to the

users,environment, owner and even its overall effect to the country itself. Designing
developments is one thing- designing experiences is another, turning a dull place to one that
etches the minds of those who visits it. Now, building a institution that will help you to
acquire knowledge; a school, it falls into a lot of considerations. Analysing it deep, wherein
you can come up with a design that has better solution and can lead its users to what is the
development should be for, it is about filling the needs and the future needs of the users and
it not just about plainly aesthetics and form, based on what Archt. Richard Garcia said.

It is basically leading to- the sense of place. Now when were being ask of what is
the ideal arkitekturang Filipino for schools should be- I would say, it is that Architecture
responds to people, people dictate sense of place. Trying to make it easy for people to
appreciate what natural to us. The whole forum was rather discovering the possibilities of
modern Filipino architecture, through its technology. Offcourse, in building a school its like
your designing a home-a second home. Itll provide you an environment that is
psychologically comfortable and great experiences, so with that I think they develop their
projects based on what is the demand and problems, if there is. A great example of work, is
the Xavier High School wherein Archt. Garcia, showed us the before and after of their
project.

Xavier high proposed project conforms to the needs of students. Making it a place
wherein you can boost and berich your knowledge at the same time with a touch of flora and
spaces that can make you interact or socialize with the others. In other terms, it is a healthy
environment.
