As time evolves, the characteristics of certain architectural styles progress depending on the various factors that affect the users of the structure. Just like any architectural approach, Filipino Architecture, too, adapts to the challenges that the users have to undergo. Listed below are some of the key features that represent the modern upgrade to the Filipino Style in Architecture.
FOYER: The Sanitation Zone
When a pandemic strikes, the main issues that arise are the hygiene and sanitation of the users that are usually working outside – who are also susceptible to bringing home the virus. Incorporating a Foyer wherein the users can easily access sanitation materials like alcohol and humidifiers, people can now sanitize themselves effortlessly without actually bringing in the viruses and bacteria that come along with them.
GARDEN: The Boredom Killer Zone
In this time that most people are somewhat imprisoned within their houses due to lockdowns, boredom can easily be felt. Good thing is that more and more Filipinos are being drawn into planting various indoor and outdoor plants. Thus, incorporating Gardens can be a great choice of addition in your house. Integrating green spaces within your lot can kill your tediousness, makes your place aesthetically pleasing, and also be a great help in the growing problem of pollution.
MINI WORK/STUDY AREA: The Productivity Zone
Due to lockdowns brought by this ongoing pandemic crisis, we are forced to do our works and studies inside our houses with the help of modern technology. Hence, integrating a space or an area wherein someone could do their work or a study without being distracted is a great addition in a house.
