Rebuilding the Philippines

By Finn

Rebuilding the Philippines is an architectural project focusing on designing community buildings that withstand hurricanes. The Philippines is one of the most typhoon-prone countries in the world. The building that was designed during this project would help prevent tons of the damage done in the Philippines, and save people from harm during these natural disasters.


This building was designed to serve as a community space, meaning everyone who lives in the area will have access to it. It has been designed with resilient architecture so that it is hurricane-proof. Changing the shape of the building to be more wind-resistant, designing the roof to reduce wind lift, designing it with traditional Filipino architecture, and using durable materials were the main components of this project.
