Il progetto di tesi è una visione del futuro dell'ambiente costruito dalla città di Marikina. L'obiettivo è quello di raggiungere una soluzione di design che influenzerà la direzione dei futuri sviluppi costruiti nella città attraverso un intervento architettonico site-specific. Il progetto si atterrà alle reali esigenze spaziali introducendo nuovi concetti e iniziative architettoniche. La città, che si trova direttamente in una valle, è soggetta a rischi ambientali ed è tristemente nota per essere stata frequentata da calamità naturali, in particolare le inondazioni. Con questo in mente, le soluzioni immediate sono davvero una necessità e detteranno direttamente le considerazioni progettuali del progetto. Il nuovo complesso governativo intende essere una dicotomia armoniosa di un edificio autorevole, pur essendo un costrutto inconscio di servitù verso la gente comune. Le proposte per questo progetto di tesi saranno vincolate alle limitazioni stabilite dai codici di costruzione / pianificazione locali e opereranno entro i requisiti spaziali in linea con il Piano di utilizzo globale del dipartimento di pianificazione locale, ma includeranno concetti e suggerimenti volti a migliorare le situazioni attuali . L'obiettivo è proporre una soluzione di design che migliori il rapporto tra i cittadini e l'ambiente costruito, oltre a fornire soluzioni per mitigare e adattarsi alla suscettibilità dell'area ai rischi naturali. Il progetto si concentrerà sulla progettazione del nuovo municipio e includerà proposte per il nuovo piano regolatore del complesso governativo, oltre a suggestive allocazioni di edifici e spazi complementari.

Abstract
The thesis project is an envisioning of the future of Marikina City’s built environment. The aim is to reach a design solution that will influence the direction of future built developments in the city through a site-specific architectural intervention. The project will adhere to actual spatial requirements while introducing new architectural concepts and initiatives. The city, which directly lies in a valley, is susceptible to environmental hazards and is infamously known for being frequented by natural calamities, most notably flooding. With this in mind, immediate solutions are indeed a necessity and will directly dictate the project’s design considerations. The new government complex aims to be a harmonious dichotomy of an authoritative edifice while also being a subconscious construct of servitude to the common people. The proposals for this thesis project will be bound by limitations set by local building/planning codes and will operate within the spatial requirements in line with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan of the local planning department but will include concepts and suggestions that aims to improve current situations. The aim is to propose a design solution that improves upon the relationship of the citizens with the built environment as well as providing solutions to mitigate and adapt to the area’s susceptibility to natural hazards. The project will focus on the design of the new city hall and will include proposals for the new government complex site masterplan as well as suggestive allocations of complementary buildings and spaces.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
