The document discusses the design philosophy and concept for a proposed mixed-use high rise building in Quezon City, Philippines. The design concept is based on a diamond to celebrate the city's 75th anniversary. Diamonds are evaluated based on their carat, cut, clarity, and color. Similarly, the building's design will consider the weight, shape, site conditions, and envelope based on these four criteria. The building will be located beside the Philippine Diamond Tower and Quezon City Convention Center as part of the Triangle Park mixed-use development.

A complex architectural organism can only be experienced through a
movement where the succession of perceptions becomes organized mentally into a total experience. Design Concept: Diamond Last 2014, the Quezon City government celebrates their diamond jubilee of cityhood. The celebration started in October of 2014 and lasted in December. It has been a significant event of the city so far since it lasted 75 years. As what the diamond projects, it shows the city on its strongest point and therefore, the diamond, represent such an esteemed celebration. In addition, diamond is one of the best-known and most sought-after gemstones. In choosing a perfect diamond, it was said that people should look on four-Cs of the diamond: Carat, Cut, Clarity, and Color. Carat, is specifically a measure of a diamond's weight, and by itself may not accurately reflect a diamond's size. Cut, is a diamond's most important characteristic. It has the greatest overall influence on a diamond's beauty. It determines what we generally think of as sparkle. Clarity, simply refers to the tiny, natural imperfections that occur in all but the finest diamonds. Color, manifests itself in a diamond as a pale yellow. This is why a diamond's color grade is based on its lack of color. The less color a diamond has, the higher its color grade. As a design concept, we can assume that the building, considering the four Cs of diamond, should consider the weight of the building, the shape of the building, the natural condition of the site, and the envelope of the building. Form Concept: Diamond The proposed mixed-used high rise building will rise along EDSA and will be one of the iconic towers in the mixed-use development, Triangle Park, in Quezon City. It will be built beside the proposed Philippine Diamond Tower and the Quezon City Convention Center.
