Buensalido Architects, based on the city of Makati, Philippines, shared with us their proposal for an airport competition in Caticlan Island, the gateway to Boracay Island. More images and architect’s description after the break.
This exercise is an opportunity to educate people about Boracay through an accurate depiction of the island’s growth patterns and socio-economic morphology in the form of an air terminal. Through digital and parametric design process, factual information about the island was used to dictate form that begets a world-class status. The design evolves further with the integration of emergent patterns in nature and ubiquitous cultural elements of an undoubtedly Filipino identity.
