DESIGN CONCEPT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

THE COMPLEXITY OF THE BALETE TREE SCOPE OF THE DESIGN
THE BALETE TREE IS AN UMBRELLA TERM FOR

SEVERAL SPECIES OF TREES IN THE PHILLIPPINES.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
A NUMBER OF THESE ARE KNOWN AS STRANGLER

FIGS WHEREIN THEY START UPON OTHER TREES,

LATER ENTRAPPING THEM AND FINALLY KILLING THE USER EXPERIENCE

TREE HOST. IN SOME AREAS OF THE COUNTRY,

SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT BALETE TREES ARE

DWELLING PLACES FOR SUPERNATURAL BEINGS SUSTAINABILITY

(ANITO) LIKE DIWATA, KAPRE OR TIKBALANG. IN

SOME PLACES, SORCERY RITUALS ARE KNOWN

PERFORMED INSIDE THE CHAMBERS FORMED BY WASTE REDUCTION

THE TREE. THE DESIGNERS TOOK THIS FORM AS

THE BASIS OF THE OVERALL CONCEPT THAT

SURROUNDS THE HIGH RISE BUILDING WHICH GREEN ARCHITECTURE

THEY INTEND TO SERVE AS A REVITALIZATION OF

THE IMAGE OF THE BALETE TREE IN GENERAL.

CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT
UPROOTING THE DESIGN

“TO TRANSFORM THE CITY INTO AN ECOSYSTEM, THE DISTRICTS INTO FORESTS, AND THE TOWERS IS INTO URBAN TREES”
