Case study 1 Philippines / Vincent Callebaut Architectures

Project Description
Vincent Callebaut Architectures has released a
design proposal for a new eco-tourism resort in
The Philippines inspired by natural coastline
forms. Making extensive use of cradle-to-cradle
and other sustainable design principles, the
resort features a series of spiraling apartment
buildings and shell-shaped hotel buildings,
themselves positioned on two Fibonacci spirals
of land in a coastal lagoon. At the center of the
ensemble, a mountain-like complex combines a
school, recreational swimming pools, sports
halls, the resort's kitchens, and a suite of
.laboratories for environmental scientists
Analysis for Problems and
Impacts
The designs also heavily utilize
sustainable materials, such as bio-
concrete in the shell-shaped hotel
facades, green walls, and cross-
laminated timber in the central
complex. The primary
proposed transportation system for
the resort is via boat, in an attempt to
prevent the imposition of road
infrastructure; the boats will have flat
bottoms in order to prevent damaging
.the marine environment

earth for all ground level walls. Being
located on a hill required significant
Indicators for sustainability ground works, therefore with much
excess soil, creating these significant
mass of curved walls was easily
justified. Along with being able to
connect the occupant to the beauty of
rammed earth with its physicality and
layered coloring, it also maintains
superior insulation and structural
properties. Being very intensive to
build we were able to recruit the
nearby village to work on what has
become the most substantial rammed
