The design concept of Anihan is based on the identity of a public market. In the cultural context of the Philippines, a public market is a place filled with energy and disarray. In a public market, everything moves and is ever-changing. The curved form of the roof symbolizes the dynamic nature of a public market.

The roof of the complex resembles symbolizes the mountain ranges that cover the perimeters of Pampanga. The crater-like circular forms on the sides are taken from the craters of Mt. Pinatubo.

Undergraduate Thesis: Proposed Mental Health Center
​
The project component of my undergraduate thesis entitled: Healing Architecture: The Integration of Neuroarchitecture in the Living Spaces of a Mental Health Center in Manila.
The design concept of the project is derived from the movement of 'Project Semicolon' that is to raise awareness and advocate for the continuation of a person's life in spite of mental struggles. Through the application of the neuroarchitecture approach, the design of the project is centered on (1) sensation and perception, (2) learning and memory, (3) decision making, and (4) experience of the users. These principles involve sensory engagement to stimulate positive behavior and strengthen the cognitive capacities of patients --- despite the conscious and unconscious tendencies, continuously throughout their stay in the facility.
