Filipino Culture of Filling up Space in a Gated Community

摘要

This paper aims to aid architects, planners, and other interested individuals by understanding the spatial dynamics in a gated community, particularly of the Filipino – an endearing nation with an interesting perception of space. One's sense of place stems from their past, own family and the generations before him or her. Architecture is not just about the building; it is all encompassing and for the most part, for the user. Comprehending Architecture in relation to the individual, and in turn the community, will further enhance one's experience of space and nurture the already rich history in any nation.
