Intro

Starting with the Filipino’s resilience we can’t deny how resilience helps with the function
of creativity in each and every individual. Since the pre-historical period, Filipinos have
been thinking out of the box already for their own safety and also the beauty if vernacular
designs of each infrastructure they build. Meanwhile, while the time is ticking and they
years pass by, internet has made an influence on a lot of things.

Conclusion

The bahay kubo is the acme of true Filipino architecture for many Filipino architects. The
house has been hailed by historians for its simplicity and almost primitive aspect. In
postwar constructs, the representation and discourse of bahay kubo encompasses a larger
argument about nationalism and identity. The Internet of Things is still in its infancy as a
phenomenon. Despite this, the rate at which it expands, adapts, innovates, and broadens its
scope is incredible. Businesses are developing an increasing number of ways for us to
connect. As commentators, publishers, and creators, the content we create online is very
much our own.

THE NATURE OF CREATIVITY IN FILIPINO ARCHITECTS AS AN ADVANTAGE


OR DISADVANTAGE OVER OTHER NATIONALITIES

The bahay kubo is one of the most beautiful structures ever seen in the Philippines. It's fully green, made
of widely available materials, and raised off the ground to provide protection and ventilation from the elements.
The bamboo slats on the floor serve as a filter, while the hut itself provides horizontal ventilation all around. It can
survive flooding and earthquakes, yet it can be rapidly rebuilt if it is damaged, such as by a strong typhoon. This
is, in my opinion, what good architecture should look like.

The bahay kubo demonstrates that nature is the best source of inspiration in building, and perhaps in
other artistic and creative domains as well. Nature can inspire the mind in a variety of ways, including patterns in
trees, leaves, animals, waves, and so on. Furthermore, because nature has been around for billions of years, it is
the best instructor when it comes to adaptability, as stated by Cabalfin (2020). Over this, the creativity in Filipino
architecture can boast off countless things including the early consideration of how one would survive calamities
brought by the nature in this country. The resilience of Philippine’s vernacular architecture can also be depicted as
one of the advantages over other nationalities. According to Nati (2020), technology and innovation is being
implemented in each creation to be made over time and this is where Filipinos get their short-comings. The
country itself isn’t always readily available for the modern technology other country could offer. This could come
by as a disadvantage although through the creativity of Filipinos all throughout the centuries, they could still make
a way through the deprivation of application of new and modern technology in architecture.

For many Filipino architects, the bahay kubo is the epitome of real Filipino architecture, a symbol of the
country's ostensibly distinct and distinctive culture and subsequent national identity. Filipino architects have
notably highlighted, adopted, and glorified the native housing as a source of inspiration for modern architectural
ideas in the previous sixty years. Despite the fact that historians have praised the house for its simplicity and
nearly primal appearance. As calimed by Bartolome (1991), the portrayal and discourse of bahay kubo in postwar
Philippine constructions actually encapsulates a bigger and more intricate debate about nationalism and identity.
This states that resilience of Filipino when it comes to architecture has a great impact especially when we look at
the features of our own example of vernacular architecture which is the bahay kubo.
THE INTERNET OF THINGS

The Internet has undergone a transformation. It was a static network meant to ferry a tiny freight of bytes
or a short message between two terminals in its early days, which were still relatively recent from a historical
perspective; it was a repository of information where content was generated and maintained only by skilled
coders. Today, however, enormous amounts of data are posted and downloaded through this electronic behemoth,
and the content is very much our own, as we are all commentators, publishers, and creators at this point.

As a phenomena, the Internet of Things is still in its early stages. Despite this, the speed with which it is
expanding, adapting, innovating, and expanding its scope is astounding. More and more channels for us to connect
are being developed by businesses. Sensors will almost certainly pervade every area of our life within the next five
years, from our refrigerators to our shoes. A trillion devices, large and tiny, will be supported by the world's IT
infrastructure. The difficulties we face in this area remain significant, with security being at the top of the priority
list. Another challenge is maintaining a robust network infrastructure to support billions of connected devices. If
everything goes according to plan, the phenomena will soon be more than a trending hashtag - it will be a way of
life. Let's take a look at some of the parts of your daily life that the Internet of Things might touch, keeping that
bright future in mind. First and foremost, there is the residence. When people hear IoT, they think of smart,
connected appliances. They envision an intelligent home that is programmed to save energy and make your life
easier. Alarm clocks will sync with traffic apps; heating systems will sync with outdoor temperature sensors,
which will sync with cost estimates; and lighting, as well as coffee makers, will react when we enter a room. It all
sounds so strange to us, but there are already a lot of homes like this. Next, the Internet of Things will have a
significant impact on trash management. A lot of money might be saved on those bills with the seamless
integration of light, heat, and air conditioning that reacts to you. In the case of food, anything left in your fridge
that you don't eat will be recorded so you may look for trends and patterns. Then there's our everyday commute.
Consider what would happen if you left your home without your house key; your home would alert you. Our
automobiles will open themselves as we approach, thanks to a sensor on our phones. Our smartphone will be able
to direct us to the shortest path to work/home using intelligent traffic sensing. Taxi services for business meetings
will be scheduled based on your calendar, which will be synchronized with your smartphone. The potential for
personal health are significantly greater. The creation of 3D-printed wristbands for reading vital signs is already
underway. We can track much more with the broad variety of wearables now on the market: sleeping patterns,
nutritional balance, GP visits and check-up plans, fitness programs, and so on. Sensors placed across your city will
notify you to any potential threats, such as traffic accidents, proximity alarms near your vehicle, severe weather,
and more, in order to keep you safe.

Almost everything in the Internet world is still ahead of us, and traditional mobile communications must
be reimagined by becoming more digital. Innovation will converge with the effect of mobility to determine the
future. This is true not only of social media, but of the Internet in general, especially in the realm of social
communications. Many individuals don't comprehend what we're doing and are unaware of the global potential for
companies like ours to grow. Someone, somewhere in the world, may be working on a technology that will turn
the Internet on its head once more. The device that will once again change our daily lives.
