𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐕 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃! An architectural vision from the regions.🇵🇭

Architecture is never a solo journey. While individual projects taught me discipline and independence, group projects was the collective genius, courage, imagination of my teams that showed me the true power of design.

To everyone we’ve shared a workspace, a rendering crisis, or a breakthrough idea with: thank you. You turned stressful deadlines into effortless collaboration. We didn't just survive arki school; we created a bond and a legacy we’ll carry forever. 🤝✨

This is the culmination of "ARCHIV" series ranking the most memorable and productive outputs we made as arki students.

❓Did You Know: Under Republic Act No. 8491 (The Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines), the national flag is mandated to be displayed in all public buildings, official residences, and prominent public places.

Maritime terminals—especially international cruise and passenger ports—are a country’s physical borders. Flying the Philippine flag is an assertive statement of national sovereignty. It marks the exact boundary where Philippine jurisdiction, laws, and authority begin, serving as a reminder to foreign vessels and visitors that they have officially entered Philippine territory.

ARCHIV features: "𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐍" magazine pubmat sampler🌴🌊
Thesis website link: https://themeridianporo.my.canva.site/
Part of Elyucano: Int'l Cruise Terminal and Hotel Complex final capstone presentation last April 30, 2026.

💛Admin insight: "O, 'di ba effort na effort sha, from website to magazine HAHAHA. Other people may find it ambitious and out of context (and obviously, they might see it in a bad light), pero wala namang prohibition on what to bring or do during the final presentation, kaya I just do what satisfies me. Naisip ko kasi na ito na yung last output ko as an arki student, and I want to do everything to get the most out of it.🥹 I want to make it memorable—not just to get the presentation over or 'maitawid lang', but something na pwede kong balikan at 'yung project na may branding just like how you sell your products in the market. Most importantly, pangdagdag portfolio rin hehe 'yun talaga 'yun. I love thinking out of the box as long as it's ethical at naaayon sa sitwasyon.👌"

‼Admin's note: ARCHIV: (Architecture + Archive) content series was created purely for fun as a way for the admin and the teammates involved to look back at our most memorable and productive work over the past 5 years. The 1–12 ranking is entirely internal and based on our personal insights; no educational institutions are mentioned or benchmarked in any of the content. We’ve kept this focus clear since the series launched back in May.

Thesis proposal: More than just a terminal, it’s a celebration of heritage and horizons. Dive into the digital walkthrough of Elyucano, where tropical modernism meets the beauty of the Philippines' potential in marine transportation. Experience the synergy of Poro Point’s identity and sustainable infrastructure.🛳

Navigating through an off-term course only added more meaning to this journey. It never hindered and lessen us from showcasing the massive potential of Poro Point as the next big gateway, right at the doorstep of the Surfing Capital of the North. Fulfilling your potential is truly 'never too late'—just like the coast of La Union, unstoppable in its crushing waves! 🌊🌊

🚢Project Informtation: The Meridian at Poro is a 15.2 Hectare Proposed Cruise Terminal with hospitality amenities located within the Poro Point Freeport Zone managed under PPMC a subsidiary of Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) in San Fernando City, La Union. This capstone proposal is based on Poro Point CIMDP, Design Guidelines and Regional Development Plan of Region 1.

💛Author Insight:

"This is my most memorable and favorite project - dahil I promised myself 2 years ago na gusto ko tapusin ang arki journey na related sa tubig ang project - first in my mind is ferry terminal within Pasig River or Laguna de Bay but the possibility is getting smaller than what I anticipated until the Poro Point came, unexpected dahil wala naman akong idea on the potential of the area at masyadong malaki - but the uncertainty amazes me that 15.2 ha area is the cradle of both comfort zone and doing something outside of it with a glimpse of self discovery, humility, and realizations- the journey is rough but this project wasn't just 'never too late' - it provided perfect opportunity in the field to recognize my passion for architecture and for this thesis and connect with the people who truly appreciate it – so thankful to my family, friends, jurors, and especially to God!”
​
📌Open letter gratitude:

Huge gratitude to my Design 9A adviser and jurors from the NU Fairview Architecture Department particularly special thank you to Ar. Ronie Biando, who truly believed in the potential of this project from research and conceptualization down to its sudden withdrawal. Thank you for continuously guiding and supporting me—you never made me feel like an off-term student, and you treated this project with the utmost importance. I am also deeply grateful to my Design 9A jurors, Ar. Goldwyn Baria, Ar. Fernando Raphael Lopez, and Ar. Gerald Fernando, for their guidance during deliberations, as well as my Design 10 adviser and jurors, Ar. Buenaventura, Ar. Santos, Ar. Cuarte, and Ar. Lee.
​
I also want to express my appreciation to the Poro Point Management Corporation (PPMC) under the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) for providing the technical assistance—specifically the CIMDP, CLUP, and Design Guidelines—that became vital to my design concepts. Thank you to Ar. Marc Lawrence Aquino (Facilities Manager of PPMC) and PPMC President and CEO Mr. Servillano Flores Jr., MDA, for the warm welcome and for appreciating a design that aims to showcase the incredible potential of Poro Point in La Union.

Lastly, I dedicate this project to my family, especially my parents, Reyna Cualing Panganonong and Dhoy Papz . Thank you for your unconditional love and support through every uncertainty and the undulating path of this thesis. Your prayers saved me more than you know. To everyone including closest friends and acquaintance who believed in me from the very start—this is for you, too! ALL GLORY BELONGS TO GOD!💛

The future and pride of Philippine metropolis - one of the solution to decongest Metro Manila.🇵🇭
If there’s a 'Hall of Fame' for site visits, Clark is at the top of the list. From the incredibly accommodating staff at the BCDA to the depth of research we were able to gather, this mixed-use development case study was a masterclass in urban planning. It wasn't just a visit; it was the foundation for one of our most recognized outputs.🥹💛

I'm just so grateful with my groupmates to make project and case studies similar to this even more memorable and productive, being a leader is just a guide and direction but having a cooperative team makes everything possible.

Architectural Acoustics: I realized that for years, I had been designing spaces that were purely visual—a silhouette, a form, a vision. But this class forced me to stop 'seeing' my designs and start 'listening' to them.
It was humbling to learn that my favorite aesthetic choices—the expansive glass, the soaring concrete atriums, the sharp, angular geometries—were, in the eyes of physics, potential acoustic nightmares.
