| Date Issued | June 2025 |
| Abstract | As one of the most quickly urbanizing countries in the Pacific region, the Philippines benefits economically, leading to increased productivity and poverty reduction. However, urbanization also drives changes in local culture, changing the place identity and genius loci of old towns. These changes in urban landscape patterns are observable in the Municipality of Angono in Rizal, often referred to as the “Art Capital of the Philippines” due to its rich creative culture. This thesis explores culture-led regeneration, a concept that utilizes the unique cultural attributes of a city to guide efforts in its cultural upliftment. Through the creation of a cultural district network, the cultural landscape of Angono will be enriched to combat the destructive effects of urbanization, strengthening and preserving its cultural character. Landscape design and management of various cultural elements of Angono creates new cultural experiences to be shared by locals and visitors alike, anchored on the existing attributes of its core cultural area. This was achieved through interviews and surveys with Angono locals to gather their insights on their culture and evoke key cultural experiences. With the residents’ contributions, three spaces in Angono were designed, bringing various existing cultural attributes to the forefront to uplift, enrich, and supplement existing cultural practices. Through the cultural district network, memories and experiences of both people and place are reflected, forming a stronger cultural narrative of the municipality for its residents and in their shared landscape alike. |
