2014-2015 PROPOSED TALIM ISLAND LAKESIDE DEVELOPMENT

ANDRADA, PATRICK MELVIN R. | 201001583

ABSTRACT

In our country, environmental protection has been a loud issue, with

population growth, urbanization and industrial development, and human impacts

on the country's aquatic resources such as lakes have increased. Problems like

lake sedimentation, overexploitation of fisheries, and pollution have come about.

Laguna de Bay is under its dense condition due to industrialization and

urbanization of the nearby towns. The impacts on the lake are greatly seen due

to its past records of flooding combined with the direct and indirect disposal of

domestic waste within the shorelines of the lake.

One of the affected areas regarding the issue was the island in the middle

of Laguna de Bay, Talim Island. The island has its natural beauty — the island

itself and the views of numerous mountains around, the skyline and the Laguna

de Bay.

The Proposed Talim Island Lakeside Development aims to provide an

architectural solution to resist the problem in Laguna de Bay by envisioning a

paradigm shift, which will encourage inhabitants to care for the lake as a front

door of development, a feature and resource instead of neglecting the lake as a

“back of the house”, eyesore and rubbish bin. The proposal can attract more

tourists and visitors who are interested in natural tourist destinations. It can also

help to uplift the tourism industry of the island and also serve as an alternative

solution to issues regarding Laguna de Bay.

Key Terms: lakeside development, back of the house, front door of development,

industrialization, urbanization, paradigm shift
