Design title: Likas Kayang Baraka
“LIKAS KAYANG BARAKA” is a food fair facility for eating clean, local, healthy food, having food that's equally available and affordable for everyone. Its objective was to raise awareness about local foods, and in doing so, organizers of the event hoped to educate consumers about the nutritional benefits of local agriculture. It emphasizes the locals’ interest and business for farmers and small entrepreneur. The location of “LIKAS KAYANG BARAKA” is from Ilocos Sur at Brgy, Tamag, Vigan City along the highway of Quirino Boulevard.
The “LIKAS KAYANG BARAKA” was inspired by traditional Philippine tropical architecture, Made on bamboo and local mahogany wood material. The form the project is shape like a sampaguita flower because it is the national flower of the Philippines and it symbolizes purity, simplicity, humility and strength. The design is adequately for natural lighting and ventilation. The food hub itself has the shape of a rising petal, made on bamboo and large polyglass. It was built by bamboo structural system -Post and beam construction is a common structural system used in many conventional and traditional buildings. Traditional post and beam systems allow for the creation of expansive and flexible interior spaces. In conventional architecture post and beam structures are built using materials like stone, timber, and RCC. This makes them rigid but restricts building designs to 90 degree framed members. Because of bamboo’s lightweight and flexible nature, it provides some interesting opportunities and variations on the traditional post and beam construction.
