The architects mentioned that have created works that
prioritize both form and function. They use various
design strategies, such as the integration of local art
and green design, to create spaces that are not only
visually appealing but also sustainable and safe for
users. They also consider the cultural context of their
designs, as seen in the use of a tropical design
approach in the Philippines. The works aim to provide a
"malamig sa mata" effect, with a mix of patterns,
textures, and materials, and communicate scientific
principles through engaging exhibits. Overall, the
architects seek to create spaces that prioritize the well-
being of their users and the environment.
According to our observation, Architects and their works
mentioned describes several examples of thoughtfully
designed spaces, from a structure composed of natural
materials and designed to showcase Philippine
craftsmanship to a mixed-use development that
prioritizes connectivity and innovative design. The
design of these spaces emphasizes both form and
function, with features such as a flexible open floor
plan, contemporary design, and a coconut shell-
covered dome-shaped roof. The placement of trees in
Plaza Libertad serves both aesthetic and practical
purposes by providing shade and temperature control.
Overall, the examples suggest a focus on creating
visually appealing and functional spaces that are
adapted to their cultural and environmental contexts.

The focus of the architects that was tackled is to develop
innovative approaches towards landscape architectural
design and urbanism. One of the techniques is to unite
the cutting edge urban potential of the site to create a
positive impact on everyday life. The Little Island project
by Architect Thomas Heatherwick is an example of his
work, which serves as a refuge for humans and wildlife.
The project takes advantage of the area's natural
features, such as the river and trees, to develop the
environment and atmosphere of the location. The park
design approach emphasizes preserving and celebrating
the site's cultural and historical significance while
accommodating a wide range of activities accessible
and inclusive for all members of the community.
The landscapes and its architects describes several
examples of architectural and urban design that
prioritize community vitality and accessibility. These
designs often reflect a modern aesthetic with clean lines
and minimalist features. The Proscenium, for instance,
is a mixed-use development that includes upscale
residential architecture with a distinctive sail-like
structure atop each of its towers. The design of this and
other buildings often considers the cultural and
environmental context, with features such as
earthquake resistance and tree arrangements that
create a balanced and structured look. Many of these
developments aim to create whole communities with a
mix of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces.
Overall, the designs prioritize functionality,
sustainability, and accessibility while also embracing
modern aesthetics.

It's interesting to note how the architects mentioned in the
statements prioritize the integration of the local culture and
environment in their designs. They recognize the importance of
sustainability and aim to create spaces that prioritize the well-
being of the users and the environment.
Additionally, they use innovative approaches towards landscape
architectural design and urbanism, showing that they are not
afraid to think outside the box when it comes to creating spaces
that are both functional and visually appealing.
Their works also demonstrate the value of incorporating different
design strategies to achieve their objectives. Whether it's through
green design or the use of local art, these architects understand
that the design of a space goes beyond just its physical
appearance.
Overall, the architects mentioned demonstrate the value of taking
a holistic approach to design, considering the cultural,
environmental, and social context of a space to create spaces
that are not only beautiful but also functional and sustainable.
The landscape and its architects showcase a shift towards a more
community-oriented and sustainable approach to architecture and urban
design. The prioritization of accessibility and functionality suggests a
desire to create spaces that cater to the needs of their users, while the
consideration of environmental and cultural context reflects a greater
awareness of the impact of architecture on its surroundings.
Additionally, the modern aesthetic of these designs demonstrates a
desire to create spaces that are both visually appealing and reflective of
contemporary design trends. However, the focus on sustainability
suggests that this desire for aesthetic appeal is not at the expense of
environmental responsibility.
Furthermore, the mixed-use approach to development reflects a desire
to create whole communities that offer a range of amenities and services
to their residents. This approach to development can create more vibrant
and livable neighborhoods, as it promotes social interaction and
facilitates access to essential services.
Overall, the landscapes and its architects showcase a movement
towards sustainable, functional, and community-oriented architecture
and urban design. This shift is reflective of a growing awareness of the
impact of architecture on its surroundings and a desire to create spaces
that prioritize the well-being of their users and the environment.

Plaza Libertad seems to have been thoughtfully designed with
an emphasis on creating a visually appealing and functional
public space. The placement of trees in clusters and in a linear
avenue arrangement not only serves an aesthetic purpose but
also provides shade and helps with temperature control, which
can be important in warm climates.
