#The story from 7 years from now by hiraya space how to#

I realized I still had so many things to say! I still wanted to talk about my Politics, this time, armed with the knowledge I didn’t have in the past. Hiraya is helping me get my creativity back and at the same time, reclaim my voice. I asked myself, “What do I need to do to get that vibrance back?” The answer was HIRAYA. My world felt gloomy with no chance of sunlight. I was suddenly hit by the overwhelming sense of being stagnant. So I let it rest.Ībout six months ago, however, I’ve been living in the US for quite some time and been working a nine to five job for the last three years or so. I’m not a confrontational person, I’m a Virgo after all. I thought about creating a YouTube channel and let loose but I thought it was too controversial and would hate being confronted about my beliefs. But every time, I thought it wasn’t enough because deep inside, I knew I always wanted to talk about Politics – my Politics, to be exact.

In college, I had a short stint writing about college basketball so I learned how to analyze the game. I wrote about a myriad of things but mostly about romances. I started writing short stories that turned into novels and posted them on Teentalk, Candy Magazine’s forum for young girls. Over time, I found ways to express myself other than opening my big loud mouth. My grandpa used to say it’s because I’m smart.

The whole ride, I would be the only one talking and my parents would just listen. My dad, mom, and I would travel from Pasig to Quezon City a lot back then to visit my mom’s side of the family. Not only will this save space, giving the garden an organised look, it will also incorporate a system that catches and collects rainwater for landscape irrigation.My mom used to complain a lot about how chatty I was even as a toddler. With a total lot area of 1,083 square metres, Hiraya will be surrounded by lush, green landscape grown through an innovation called hydroponic gardening, a method which mainly uses water instead of soil, concealed as bamboo poles. Used together, the materials will provide dwellers with an authentic experience of tropical living, offering the artists more sources of inspiration. Not only will these materials significantly reduce energy consumption during construction and are easily workable and available, they will also promote local livelihood, helping the community prosper. Other indigenous materials such as clay and river stones will also be incorporated in the structure in order to reduce the project’s carbon footprint and promote sustainability. Most evidently placed along the hallways, the bamboo slats will function as sun baffles to reduce the heat gain of the structures, which also create varying patterns along the floors and walls during different times of the day.

Ramps will ‘wrap’ around the buildings to connect the spaces, allowing ease of access between facilities and promoting a connection between occupants and their surroundings.īamboo wood, an indigenous material abundant in the area, will be used extensively from the frame of the structure to exterior finishes. The project design seeks to integrate a holistic approach to an environmentally friendly way of living.īuilt for the tropical climate, the four buildings of Hiraya will be oriented in a way that they act as a ‘wind scoop’ to enhance air circulation throughout the development. As part of the architects’ pursuit and advocacy to practice and promote Green architecture, eco-friendly features and facilities will be installed in the structure, such as bicycle parking, hydroponic gardens and solar panels.
