The images herein are portions of the presentation we made during the public consultation at the Baguio City Hall on 11 April 2018. The core concept of which is the pedestrianization of Burnham Park.
Check out our 2019 update for this project-- The GREEN PARK REVISITED
We propose to do this by way of a GREEN BUILDING that has a facade which will blend into the park.
A front that takes into consideration the essence of the Central Axis that the city's early creator (Arch. Daniel Burnham) made as the core facet of our urban plan. The line starts from the center axis of the Baguio City Hall, continues into the Burnham Lake, unto the Skating Rink, and now
finds meaning as the front axis of our proposed building.
The PARKing facilities we propose are located at the rear of our edifice, where the motor vehicles are totally hidden from view while within the PARK.
The three options we gave for the traffic flow around Burnham Park, actually comprises the most important ingredient of our concept for the building. Our choice is the Third Option- the total ban of cars from the park. Our parking facilities will be available through the vehicular ingress-egress along Harrison Road, and our front vehicular access will become just a service portal to the building. Put in "crisper" language, our Option Three proposes the pedestrianization of Burnham Park, turning the whole premises into a walking zone; and finally returning the park to pedestrians-- free from the clutches of fuel-burning vehicles.
