ABOUT ME I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. My passion in Architecture started when I did my first drafting project in high school. I love it so much because of the fact that I might be able to design my very own building in the future that I can be proud of. This passion just expanded in the field of Landscape Architecture when my family migrated to New Zealand and I started University at Victoria. I have always wanted to be challenged in everything I do because I believe that the more challenged I am, the more creative and innovative I can be. In entering the field of Landscape Architecture, I have always been inspired by the range of scales and projects that I can be involved in. Also with the experiences that I am gaining in this field and all the very supportive people around me, I am very happy to keep receiving outstanding achievements and opportunities that showcase my works both locally and internationally. As I move on in this career, I see myself as a designer who embraces multicultural disciplines in order to extend my knowledge as I develop my own Landscape Architecture philosophy. Currently, I am working on my master thesis that explores the role of landscape architecture in the developing world and how the profession can contribute to the lives in informal cities.

“TAO RIN KAMI (WE ARE HUMANS TOO)”
Navigating Lost Community Ties in the Developing City of Manila Urban, Environmental, Culture - Year 5 Master Thesis - Ongoing
The image of urban areas as places of endless opportunities attracts many people from the rural areas to migrate towards the city. Due to this incessantly massive rural-urban migration, one third of Metro Manila’s population now live in informal settlements.These settlement patterns organically evolved next to big waterways, gated executive villages, and business and industrial zones. Living next to these areas are often subject to easy access to basic amenities (e.g. water and food) and financial benefits that people need in order to sustain their daily lives in the city. However, as informal settlements grow, social segregation and economic inequity also elevate.The lack of consistent planning and differences in aspirations from various social classes in Metro Manila result to the loss of unity and acceptance in the city. “We are Humans too” is an exploration of the role of landscape architecture in the rapid urbanisation of the developing world. It identifies that the formation of informality in the developing cities is a phenomenon of growing importance. With the influence of past and present practices in the developing world, it aims to discover how landscape architecture can contribute to the lives in the present and future informal cities.

RECONCILING DIVISIONS
Re-imagining Featherston’s Railway Corridor Urban, Environmental, and Planting - Year 4 Design and Infrastructure Studio - 2014
Featherston is a small town in the perimeter of the Wairarapa and is seen as the gateway of the region. The geographical location of the town sits amongst the natural landscapes of the North Island of New Zealand, such as the Rimutaka Ranges and Lake Wairarapa. However, the town feels separated from the rest of its context and seen as the least desirable town to explore and live in compared to the other towns in the Wairarapa region. This project is a main part of a big master plan that was designed by my group with Maria Rodgers and Hamish Cochrane.We identified the railway corridor as one of the barriers that disconnect Featherston. This urban transport space has always been perceived as a threat to the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and children. In result, it created large dead spaces along the railway line. The aim of the scheme is to re-imagine this active railway corridor to improve its physical and historical ties with the town, enhance community livability and safety, and become an environmental and economical resource. These will be achieved by introducing a direct walking track that will connect the train station to the rest of the town and its natural features, emphasizing its link with Fell Museum by re-creating the existing petrol triangle at Fitzherbert street, introducing a main storm water management system along the corridor, and utilizing the dead spaces as possible places for future urban growth of the town.

BOTANIC GARDEN OF CHANGE He Akoranga Whakatupu
Culture, Heritage, and Planting - Year 4 Design Studio - 2014
Exhibited in the 8th International Biennial of Landscape Architecture in Barcelona, Spain
Lake Waiorongomai is located in Otaki along the coastline of the Kapiti region.This site was currently designated as a site of regional significance but it suffers from the effects of dairy farming that resulted to the degradation of the two defining habitats of the site (wetland and dune lake habitats). In order to find design solutions to address these issues, I’ve investigated the design potentials of two “methods”, whakapapa, which is about the study of maori genealogy, and ecological urbanism, in which both are concerned with the mapping of complex interrelated systems in the environment. Through these methods, I came up with the idea of creating a working botanic garden that will begin on a strip and will eventually grow and meld with the natural patterns of the landscape around it. This idea aims to transcend the limits of the typical idea of a botanic garden, and instead create a place that not just exhibits native plantings of the site but also responds to the evident flux in this coastal landscape. This will then encourage the practice of Maramataka, a traditional Maori planting by the moon, and develop alongside the needs of the land and its owners. This botanic garden has four distinct areas, in which I categorised as the duneland, wetland, interface between duneland and wetland, and the flats. Each of these areas exhibits particular plantings that will allow to regenerate the site’s important habitats and highlight its social and cultural values, and also potentially assist the local Iwi in their economic and social development.

MANIPULATING PUBLIC SPACE ECOLOGIES
Lower Hutt River Edge and Flood Mitigation Strategies Development Urban and Environmental - Year 3 Design Studio - 2013 Project Collaboration with Monica Wong
In order to gain an understanding of the workings of Lower Hutt, a study was conducted into the public life and functioning of the CBD.There was a particular interest in the river and the stop bank surrounding it. It was found that the composition of the both the river and the stop bank had a significant impact on the behaviour of the people occupying the space.Various factors such as the heights and permeability of the planting, the width of the pathways and the proximity to the city caused a shift in the nature of people and connected or disconnected them to the CBD.This in turn created a varying sense of urgency and changed the social interactions within the space.The circulation of the CBD is currently very limited and confined to the city side of the stop bank. Queensgate mall acts as a point of focus and draws people in from every direction.The river itself becomes neglected and its sense of importance within the city is lost. The aim of the proposal is to shift the centre of the CBD to the river and in turn, revitalise both sides of the river. This is through creating another channel to extend the breath of the river and create an island to house native flora and fauna; and manipulating the stop bank as terraced pedestrian boulevard and bridge that will connect both sides of the river and house new mixed use buildings and medium density neighbourhoods. The island is designed to partially flood, creating a narrative about the devastating power of river. These two contrasting spaces within the proposal, the island and the pedestrian boulevard, become visual models for the average person, one emphasizing the purity of nature and one of the advancing technologies of man.

NEW ZEALAND PRISONERS OF WAR MEMORIAL National War Memorial - Tasman Street- Re-development Urban, Heritage, and Planting - Year 2 Planting Design Studio - 2012
This project focuses on commemorating the New Zealanders that were captured by the Germans and became Prisoners of War (1941 – 1942) during the World War II in Crete, Greece.This event in Crete has been significant in the history of New Zealand because it was the moment that had the most number of New Zealanders that were captured in just one campaign. The design aims to create a memorial space that will evoke the journey of our fellow New Zealanders from the time they left the country to the moment they were captured and became prisoners of war. The space does not intend to show the negative side of being a prisoner but rather the moments when the prisoners put much effort to make their experience less frightening and boring. The memorial has zigzag pathway that runs up the site from Tasman Street to the car park area near the Dominion Museum and the National War Memorial. A circular platform that is situated at the middle area, North East of the site, serves as the main gathering space for the memorial. In this area, one can move freely and do different activities. This resembles the experience of the POWs being free to do variety of things such as concerts, plays, lectures, sport events, etc. but still with the idea of being guarded. On top of the site, a narrower pathway that links to the upper entrance of the memorial can also be accessed. This pathway leads the users to the seating area where one can overlook the memorial gathering space and most of the areas of the site. This zone expresses the idea of the far distance of the POWs and the prison camps from New Zealand and also the idea of contemplating while looking back at the journey and experiences of our fellow New Zealanders. The landform is intended to attain steep slopes to emphasize the topography of New Zealand and Crete. Lastly, there is a variation in the planting compositions at different areas of the site. The entry points of the memorial space at both ends of the site shows density to show the characteristics of New Zealand and feels more at home. On the other hand, the middle area is less dense with low plantings to evoke the idea of POWs being exposed and being in a different land.
