| Date Issued | June 2022 |
| Abstract | Annual fluvial river parades and fireworks industry are one of the things Bocaue is known for. Today, it is fast becoming an urbanized municipality with all the potential to become an emerging city in the future. However, the deteriorating status of the Bocaue River and burgeoning traffic congestion on three of its major roads has been a longtime issue of the town. These problems can be solved through the revitalization of the Bocaue riverfront starting by building a river ferry terminal to decongest road traffic and bring awareness on the importance of rehabilitating the river which can help its preservation with the added benefits of boosting local tourism and economy. Bringing cities on water is the key to revitalizing an urban community. As Giovannazi and Moretti (2010) wrote, marine, port, and fluvial cities are catalysts to urban renewals especially in residential, transportation, public spaces, and quality of environment. It can help boost economic growth, social development, preserve resources, and cement cultural identity. The project objectives shall be (a) examine the impact of the water pollution and traffic congestion in Bocaue and discover ways to alleviate its effects; (b) Develop a site-specific design that takes into consideration users, space conception, flood resilience, and mobility aid accessibility; and (c) use the research findings into an adaptive architectural design of a river ferry terminal in Bocaue, Bulacan. To achieve the project objectives, knowing the project site’s comprehensive land use and planning shall be needed in order to align the project to the municipality’s vision along with in-depth research on Bocaue’s background and information are critical to ground the project to its setting. To design the river ferry terminal properly and efficiently, a questionnaire survey on commuter’s experience shall be conducted to know the user’s preferences in a river ferry terminal. The expected conclusion on this project shall be a |
