ILOILO CITY
ILOILO CITY, SITUATED IN THE HEART OF THE PHILIPPINES, IS A PLACE
WHERE HISTORY GRACEFULLY INTERTWINES WITH MODERNITY,
CREATING A DYNAMIC AND CULTURALLY VIBRANT URBAN CENTER.
OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE "CITY OF LOVE," ILOILO CITY IS NOT JUST A
GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION. IT'S A TAPESTRY OF TRADITIONS,
INNOVATION, AND HEARTFELT HOSPITALITY THAT BECKONS VISITORS
FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

ILOILO CITY'S HISTORY IS A COMPELLING NARRATIVE THAT TRACES BACK

TO ITS FOUNDING IN 1581 BY SPANISH EXPLORERS. HIS HISTORICAL
SIGNIFICANCE IS PALPABLE THROUGH THE CITY'S WELL-PRESERVED
COLONIAL-ERA ARCHITECTURE, WHICH LINES THE STREETS AND TELLS
THE STORY OF ITS SPANISH COLONIAL PAST.

THE CITY'S CULTURE IS A FUSION OF INDIGENOUS TRADITIONS, SPANISH

INFLUENCE, AND CONTEMPORARY FILIPINO IDENTITY. THE ILONGGO
PEOPLE, KNOWN FOR THEIR WARM HOSPITALITY AND FRIENDLINESS,
EMBODY THIS VIBRANT BLEND OF CULTURES, CREATING A UNIQUE
CULTURAL IDENTITY THAT WELCOMES VISITORS WITH OPEN ARMS.

DESIGN CONCEPT
THE DESIGN CONCEPT OF THE PROJECT COMES FROM A FAMOUS
TRADITION OF THE CITY ITS SELF, WHICH IS THE DINAGYANG FESTIVAL.
THE DESIGNER DECIDED TO USE THIS AS A MAIN CONCEPT FOR THE
REASON THAT, THE ENERGETIC COLOR THAT WE CAN SEE ON THE
COSTUME OF EACH PEOPLE IN THE FESTIVAL, GIVES AN IDEA TO THE
DESIGNER TO MAKE AN LIVELY AND COLORFUL HOTEL THAT CAN
REPRESENT NOT ONLY THE CULTURE, THE TRADITION BUT ALSO THE
PERSONALITY OF THE PEOPLE IN ILOILO CITY.
BY USING THE FESTIVAL AS A CONCEPT, THE DESIGNER INCORPORATE
ELEMENTS OF ILLONGGO ARCHITECTURE AND DINAGYANG SYMBOL INTO
THE HOTEL. FOR EXAMPLE THE VIBRANT COLOR PALETTE AND SIMPLE
TRIBAL PATTERNS IN EXTERIOR.
LASTLY, THE DESIGNER EMPHASIZE OPEN SPACES AND FLUID LAYOUTS WITHIN
THE HOTEL TO REFLECT THE FESTIVAL'S SPIRIT OF UNITY AND COMMUNITY.
CONSIDER OPEN-AIR WALKWAYS OR BALCONIES THAT OVERLOOK THE CENTRAL
COURTYARD OR SURROUNDING SCENERY.
