Manila: Future Habitations

October 5, 2018October 9, 2020 WTA

WTA Architecture and Design Studio is honored to assist in the construction and installation of “Manila: Future Habitations” Exhibition by  Harvard Graduate School of Design and AECOM. The exhibit opened its doors on September 27, 2018, San Ignacio Church Intramuros.  It examines the urban development of key cities in Southeast Asia. Done by the students of Harvard GSD’s and AECOM,  the exhibit also explores proposals and recommendations for a reimagined city dwelling for the Port of Manila; the Baseco compound; the Pasig Riverfront; and the Intramuros. It includes a full-scale prototype of affordable housing design for the informal settlers of Baseco.
