Only a few understand how to appreciate it, little by little, inch by inch the earth’s surface loses its earth surface. Thus, sustainable floating architecture. As radical as its concept may be, this innovative technique could just be our perfect escape from the nature’s rage. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A Floating sustainable resort and marine observatory to be situated mainly in Cagayan Ridge Marine Biodiversity Corridor, Sulu Sea, (approximately 200km east of Puerto Princesa, Palawan coast and 20km north of the perimeters of Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park) this is to answer our country's need for a way to boost people's awareness regarding the conservation of our marine biodiversity with the construction of a monumental tourist magnet by which our country the Philippines can be easily known for.

NAME: Cecilia Cruz PROFILE: More than being an architect, I am an artist that aspires to do more than what my profession tells me to. Putting no limits to what I can do,I want to acquire greater knowledge about artistry, innovation and architecture, focusing more in traditional art that has been almost forgotten since the release digital artistry. I believe that to be an architect is to be an artist, a craftsman and an innovator that can put imagination to reality, and more exposure to the different arts and technologies will only expand my imagination and skills. |
