STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Lacking in essential onsite facilities, amenities and services
The only present structures on site are, (1) 3 cottages/shed; (2) a comfort room; and (3) a
bird watching deck/

RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. What regenerative design strategy can be integrated into a facility that enables users to learn,
interact, and experience nature?

2. What strategy is to be considered to maximize the use of needed spaces while minimizing land
utilization of the project?

3. What systems can be adapted to regenerate and minimize the usage of utilities in the
development?

GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES

1. To design a tourist complex containing eco-lodges, a tourist center, and an observation
center(research center) that will serve as an engaging factor of humans to the environment.
Provide a space that stimulates a positive involvement of tourists allowing them to learn about
the place, and the conservation needed in order to protect the present diversity on site.

2. To programme and strategically plan spaces needed to limit site utilization as a measure of
conserving the natural environment.
Design the complex that allows the fullest potential and leans towards modular and flexible in
direction to allow maximum flexibility.

3. ·To maximize and achieve the use of renewable energy collected onsite as utility in the tourist
complex.
Integrate renewable energy sources and water storage systems for human and environmental
use.

REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES

Studies related to Ecotourism and its Purpose

Ecotourism is "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and
improves the well-being of local people."

Protected areas could offer exclusive and fresh natural and cultural features for
tourists to enjoy, while also encouraging conservation measures.

A surge in natural tourism and realized the need to guide its expansion in a eco-
friendly way.

REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES

Studies explaining Ecological Threshold [1]
Evidence of extraordinary species extinction rates.
When an ecosystem reaches this point, it can suffer permanent damage or even collapse,
leading to species extinction and loss of ecosystem services.
Studies related to Wildlife Conservation and Protection Laws [2]

Ensure the conservation of biological diversity and sustainable development in protected

areas.
Regulate the collection and trade of wildlife, promote ecological balance, enhance
biological diversity, and support scientific studies on the conservation of biological
diversity.

REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES

Studies related to Living Systems and Its connection to Regenerative Architecture

In the context of regenerative architecture, living systems refer to the natural systems that
exist on a site, such as soil, water, plants, and wildlife.

Built environment exists inside natural systems, and therefore should be intended to co-
evolve with the natural environment around it.

Strategies that protect living systems include designing buildings and landscapes that
promote biodiversity and support the health and well-being of all living organisms
