    Homework 2.0 ARCDS2

    Project Proposal

    Problem Identification

    Escolta Street in Binondo consists of condemned spots that need to be addressed. A few of

    which that should be taken action are:

    - The restoration/rehabilitation of neglected structures (e.g. neo-classical building, El

    Hogar Filipino and Art-deco, First United Building.)

    - The physical improvement and development such as sidewalks, street lights, street

    signs, barangay security and issues in parking and vagrancy.

    Issues associated with urban decay in the area are; economic crisis, old deteriorated

    buildings, bad streets and utilities, unsociable urban landscape, and polluting water

    resources and atmosphere.

    Project Rationale

    To revitalize the historic, architectural, and aesthetic character and heritage of the area by

    providing a sense of place and continuity while introducing an innovative design approach.

    Scope & Limitation

    1. Escolta St. and surrounding area within 250m radius from site, including road access

    networks.

    2. The social, cultural, political and economical aspects of the area.

    3. Data from 1990’s to present.

    4. Neighboring structures’ profile within 250m radius from site.

    5. Selected buildings for profiling will include: commercial, industrial, residential,

    institutional buildings.

    6. Data will be gathered over a defined period of time.


    7. Zoning ordinance of the city government

    Thesis Statement

    Thesis: Preserving the traditional architectural styles.

    Antithesis: Innovating and replacing the old with the new.

    Synthesis: Preserving the overall essence of the place while adapting to the new

    changes occurring in its environment.

    Project Goal

    - To improve specific areas of Escolta that are poorly developed or underdeveloped

    and re-establish the district's quintessence that will create opportunities for social,

    cultural, and economical development.

    Project Objectives

    1. To reinforce the sense of place and give structure and orientation to the urban

    experience

    2. To rehabilitate existing buildings

    3. To utilize urban design in generating social and economic benefits

    4. To increase foot traffic in the district

    5. To revitalize the essence of the area and revive its cultural significance.

    uses

    10. To minimize leftover spaces that become opportunities for antisocial behavior in the

    community
    Project Risks

    1. Informal street vendors.

    - The area comprises informal street vendors, which might hinder the project

    from continuing in the case that they refuse to adhere to the changes that

    need to be implemented.

    2. Narrow road network

    - Road network is too thin to be considered two lanes due to street parking,

    which affects mobility practices and traffic flow.

    3. Cultural significance of the area

    - Traditional and sentimental value of the place might restrict the

    implementation of changes in the area.

    4. Site hazards

    - Overall site condition that may present probable issues and concerns.

    5. Existing Architectural Style/Design

    - Adjacent buildings to the site may limit creative freedom during the designing

    process.

    Project Strategies

    1. Separate zoning and determine spatial boundaries of the area

    2. Carefully observe site conditions

    3. Conduct interviews with residents, vendors and local business owners within the

    area.

    4. Undertake site analysis in the whole area (250 meter radius from site)

    5. Define the spaces in the area and organize them by zones e.g. residential,

    commercial

    6. Honor the historical and cultural background of the area with regards to design

    approach
    7. Provide proper designation for informal street vendors

    8. Establish boundaries for parking vehicles to avoid obstruction

    9. Maintain and enhance existing and potential activity linkages and a continuous

    system of pedestrian and bicycle friendly public spaces

    10. Preserve and respect the continuity and pedestrian orientation of historic streetscape
