INTRODUCTION
Filipino life is food-centric. Whether it be a joyous celebration or the saddest of days, there
will always be food. They say that food is an intangible culture and the way we eat is very
special. If you notice how we enjoy our meals on the usual dining table, there is no definite
beginning and end. The courses are all set up on the table from the soup, the main
course, and the dessert.
Looking at the flourishing local food scene, the dining experience is elevated to new
heights. It’s quite exiting how many new concepts and fusion cuisines are available for
public tasting. For this plate, you are to create architecture that’s representative of this
vibrant and forward-looking food culture set on one of the most iconic rivers in the
country: Iloilo River.

INSTRUCTIONS
Your task is to redefine the Filipino dining experience for 100 customers. With maximizing
the waterfront views, create different seating areas for different kinds of celebrations or
gathering. Create a show kitchen where your clients can see how their food is being
prepared while figuring out what it takes to create quality food experience.

PROJECT GOAL: To create a tangible representation of the cuisine being served while
designing for the Iloilo River front.
