Though the Philippines Fashion is not the big asset in the Philippines’ business industry, different Filipino designers show their competence in the global scene, as different personas in the Hollywood and other countries patronage their works.
The problem is that the Philippine Fashion is having a difficult situation since the country has is lack of facilities and very outdated when it comes to technology.

With this situation, this calls for an action to ensure the support and continues development of our image as a nation through fashion.
The Filipino fashion on the global scene is continuously growing, yet its development moves slowly. But with right facilities and place for showcasing their crafts, the Filipino designers would have a chance to develop and mark the identity of Filipino fashion nationally and globally.

2. Philippine Recycle Hub: Transforming Place into a Place
The Philippines produces about 10 million tons of solid waste per year and only 12% of the waste is recycled and re-used. The single most dominant issue for solid waste management is the inadequacy of disposal facilities. Presently, open dumping is still the most common waste disposal method as controlled dumpsites and sanitary landfills are very limited.
The opportunities presented by this serious environmental problem to suppliers of solid waste management products and equipment is enormous. The potential, however, is tempered by inadequate funds and technical capability, lack of political will and other problems. Despite the limitations, the market for SWM is still expected to grow five percent in the next three years. With this statement, this calls for a place that would cater the need for a waste disposal and would create a place for recycling them in order to generate funds and income.
The garbage in the Philippines is one of the country’s biggest problems. Flooding and health issues came occur more often than the past years. Yet, garbage has its good effect on the other citizen because it is their source of income by collecting them and recycled it to create a new product to maximize the use of a certain thing.
This proposal aims to solve the problem in waste disposal in the Philippines by creting a hub for recycling. Architecturally, this proposal will transform a location/ a space for garbage into a place where it will be visited by public. The recycle hub is a factory like structure wherein public can go in specified zone in the structure and would make it a dynamic exhibition on transforming garbage into something new and productive. In short, this proposal aims to create structure that would pulls people in, instead of keeping them out of the vicinity by providing parks and facilities for different activity.
