Statement of the Problem

The problem to be addressed by this study is the application of Bio-mimicry architecture

in enhancing the capability of a certain place or a city to reduce its consumption of plastic

and residual waste in order to protect the environmental state of the current situation.

Polomolok’s strategic location and good climate have enticed multi-national companies

like Dole Philippines, Inc. (DolePhil) to invest heavily in agribusiness in the area. DolePhil

has put up in Polomolok its largest pineapple cannery in the country. As economic

opportunities in Polomolok increase with the development of its commercial and industrial

sector, so does its population, which is rising primarily because of in-migration. With a

growing population comes, as expected, a growing waste problem.

Objectives

General Objective

To provide an engaging space and to “leverage our place” on the planet conceptually as

well as tactically. Biologically inspired design learns from natural systems and from our

place on

Specific Objectives to inspire new sustainable solutions.

•To provide an accessible and inclusive commercial space to the public for any ages

•To contribute to the growth and development of the environment around the area and to

raise awareness to the harmful effects of residual waste if not properly segregated.

•To prioritize the health of living organism of the area, promoting the use of indigenous

materials to lessen the emission of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases.
