| Date Issued | September 2023 |
| Abstract | Being an archipelago, transport plays a vital role in the Philippine economy by bridging the population and the economic centers of the country. However, one of the problems that contributes to the deterioration of public transportation is the weak intermodal integration of transportation systems and infrastructure development that conflicts with the urban fabric. One such conflict is the coalescence of modern transport systems with historical sites. The intersection between transportation and heritage is scarcely studied because of the differences in language. Furthermore, there is limited knowledge about spaces that seamlessly connect these sectors. Thus, this research examines how urban transportation and heritage in the City of Manila could be linked through a mobility-oriented architecture. Specifically, the objectives of this research are (1) to identify the design principles and elements of different transportation modes, heritage structures, and natural heritage in the heritage corridor of the City of Manila and find their connections, (2) to create an architectural program that integrates different transportation modes, heritage structures, and natural heritage, and (3) to apply these principles to the design of an intermodal transport hub that enriches commuter experience within the area. The outcomes produced in this research are a site development plan, a schematic design, and the final design development of an intermodal transport hub that integrates different transportation modes and heritage spaces in the City of Manila, particularly in Lawton. |
