Estudio Damgo III-Marine Sanctuary Center / by Minda Luz M. Badon, Florabelle T. Caloy, Marie Ann L. Lagudas, and [others]. - Dumaguete City : Foundation University ; 2015. - xii, 81 leaves : ill. (some color.) ; 22 cm. leaves - DAFA-Arch-Th .
Undergraduate thesis (Bachelor of Science in Architecture) -- Foundation University, 2015.
Includes bibliographical references, appendixes and photographs.
Executive Summary
Estudio Damgo, the "first design+build program in the Philippines, is a
community program of Foundation University's Department of Architecture. Its
pioneering project was a day care center, completed in 2013 and now located at Sitio
Dungga, Barangay Malaunay, Valencia. Its second project was a multi-purpose building,
completed in March 2014 and situated in Barangay Bajumpandan, Dumaguete City.
This time around, Estudio Damgo and the Senior Architecture students of
Foundation University are now on their third course of shaping the lives of people in our
community through sustainable and eco-friendly architecture that is to be built on the
water at Brgy. Bantayan, Dumaguete. Remarkably, it is not just any other traditional
structure made out of stilts or rigid structural elements fixed to the ground. It is "a
sophisticated project that floats" and will rise on top of the water by the use only of
native bamboo and recycled plastic drums.
Through all walks of life, we depend our substantial needs on the resources we
get from the sea. True enough, we are blessed with all kinds of natural resources in our
country yet most of us NOW just take it for granted. Fishing, for one, has now become a
slowly forgotten culture and livelihood among Filipinos. Studies show that among the
South Eastern seas including Malaysia and Indonesia, our country, the Philippines, still
has the richest marine diversity, has one of the world's longest coastlines, and is known
as the center of the world's coral triangle. Yet, it is also the most threatened of them all.
In response to this challenge, Estudio Damgo, has been established to create a structure
that would really cater to the people in our communities. It is a prototype and life-
changing architecture that will serve as a catalyst to a transformed, more developed, and
more meaningful living not just in Dumaguete but in the whole Filipino nation.
It is time to make a difference, and prove to ourselves that we care for our
environment.
