    DESIGN PROBLEM

    The Western Visayas region's coastal city - Bacolod City is highly urbanized,
    yet it still lacks an easily accessible site location. The old airport had a lot of issues
    because of the limitations of the old site. One issue is that it is not in an accessible or
    sustainable place, which has an impact on how the site develops. Another big
    problem that Bacolod City faces is improper drainage, which causes flooding,
    especially in SM Bacolod City. Moreover, the city has been significantly impacted by
    how terrible the poor traffic flow issue has gotten. Last but not least, people in
    Bacolod City do not like going to the same malls every day.

    DESIGN STRATEGY
    Passive Sustainable Design.

    We designed KASADYA Shopping Center in Bacolod City, to exist in harmony


    with nature. It’s a beautifully executed, festive, warm, and interactive facility that
    serves to increase community wellness and awareness of the arts and appreciate
    Filipino culture as predicted in the details of the project.
    Passive strategies, such as considering sun orientation and climate when
    siting and being thoughtful about window placement and operation, are used to best
    manage daylighting and natural ventilation by providing wide courtyards and go a
    long way in reducing energy requirements for the building.
    Solar panel arrays and high-efficiency LED lighting help to reduce energy
    consumption, while low-flow water fixtures reduce water usage and tie into the
    educational component of the project.
    Landscape Design.
    With regards to landscaping, it enhances the physical and psychological well-
    being of city dwellers. We installed several benches to provide a cozy spot to sit
    while appreciating the surroundings, but they can also be beneficial in a variety of
    other ways. Many trees also offer shelter from the weather and even aid in healing.
    A fountain that animates the outside space with music and movement was also
    added.
    Courtyard.
    Due to the natural ventilation that occurs through the windows that face the
    courtyard, it has been discovered that the presence of one is very beneficial in
    lowering both the indoor air temperature and humidity. The walls that separate
    them are shaded by a courtyard, which also serves as a heat sink by cooling the air.

    Sustainable Building Materials.


    Harvesting sustainable materials produce significantly less trash than other
    types of materials, such as plastics, which reduces garbage sent to landfills, energy
    use, and environmental impact. Also, utilizing sustainable materials can help
    structures and facilities consume less energy. One of the materials we used is timber,
    which is frequently regarded as the most environmentally friendly building material
    in the construction sector. It can be used to boost a project's environmental
    credentials because it has a small embodied carbon impact.

    DESIGN SOLUTION
    Accessible and sustainable infrastructure will be developed with proper
    planning, landscaping, orientation, traffic flows, and drainage systems. We built a
    high-rise structure to prevent flooding in the city due to flooding. Additionally, we
    put in place suitable drainage to lessen the possibility of flooding, which in turn
    lessens the possibility that the area may flood. We designed a proper circulation of
    traffic routes and a road plan to promote accessibility and traffic enforcement while
    assisting in reducing the city's traffic issues. Finally, our building's facade can be seen
    clearly from the street and contributes significantly to the area's amenities and
    appeal. Therefore, it is important to create facades with an appealing scale, look,
    rhythm, solid-to-void connection, and materiality.
