Any regenerative design requires an in depth understanding of the existing context. This context is not restricted only in its physical aspects, but also the climatic, physiological and communal aspects of the site.
Baseco is at the peninsula of Manila. in 2000, it was recorded that the area had housed 47,017 citizens. The area is primarily served as residential area and mostly in forms of informal structures (Skwater house). The living condition is poor and incomes of household varies but generally people in Baseco lives in poverty.
This chapter will explore 3 main aspects of the site:
1. Regeneration and spatial planning
2. Materiality
3. Climate
Through the exploration, it is expected that the findings can further consolidate the possible problems of Baseco and assists the team to establish a narrative for the design.
