Abakada tapped social entrepreneur Illac Diaz of My Shelter Foundation to do the structural design of
the classrooms. Diaz said that from the standard cost of constructing a classroom, which ranged from
P400,000 to P500,000, the earthbag system cut down the cost to about P200,000 per classroom. the
school now has 10 classrooms and a library that can cater to the needs of 360 students.
WHO IS THE DESIGNER?
Designers imagine and make.
They also research and think.
A career in design is more than a
job.
It is a way of seeing; a way of
interacting with the world. It is a
way of life.

- is a learning style where the learner better understands
and retains information when ideas, words and concepts
are associated with images. Based on research, majority
of the people need to see information in order to learn it.

- is picture thinking.

- Good visual thinking uses the spatial relationship

between the objects on the page to hold information.

- The ability to think visually revolves around an awareness

of how all these levels of meaning work together.
