PALAUMIS
SITE ANALYSIS
a localized sustainable eco-tourism destination THE TERM “PALAUMIS” IS A BATANGUEÑO WORD THAT MEANS “ALWAYS SMILING”. THE ETYMOLOGY OF THIS CONCEPT WAS BASED ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PEOPLE IN BATANGAS WHICH EPITOMIZES VIBE, HOMIE, CONFIDENCE, AND HEALTH. IN ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTION, THE RESEARCHERS CHOSE THIS CONCEPT TO UTILIZE “PALAUMIS” AS A REPRESENTATION OF INDULGENCE, FULFILLMENT, AND CALMNESS TO APPRECIATE AND MEDITATE BY GIVING THEM AN UNBELIEVABLE HIGH-END TOURISM DESTINATION. THIS PROJECT PROMOTES ECONOMICALLY-FRIENDLY LIFE THAT HARMONIOUSLY BLENDS INTO ITS NATURAL SURROUNDINGS THAT SIGNIFY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEOPLE’S LIFESTYLES AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
DESIGN CONCEPT (ABYAD) THE CONCEPT OF THIS PROJECT WAS ROOTED IN THE BATANGUENO WORD “ABYAD” WHICH MEANS TAKING CARE OF. “TAKING CARE OF” SYMBOLIZES RESPONSIBILITY, FONDNESS, AND HOSPITALITY WHICH LOCALS WILL PROVIDE GOOD SERVICE, HIGH QUALITY AND ALLOW PEOPLE TO FEEL THEIR UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE IN HIGH-END LOCALIZED SUSTAINABLE ECOTOURISM FANTASY. IN RELATION TO THE PROJECT, “ABYAD” IS USED AS A REPRESENTATION FOR ATTACHMENT, PROTECTION, AND TUTELAGE. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO GIVE PEOPLE THE VIBE, AND RELAXATION OF THE PLACE, AND SEPARATION ANXIETY WHICH THEY NEED TO COME BACK AND FEEL THE AMBIANCE AGAIN.
