Library/ Conflict space,
Angat, Philippines, 2024

Community through mutual support.

The building was designed and built through the Filipino tradition of Mutual Support, Bayanihan, and sent to Italy to be exhibited at the Venice Biennale (2021). Following the return of the Philippine Pavilion from Venice, the library and conflict resolution space was rebuilt within the village of Angat, Philippines (2024). An additional building was built next to this structure to also frame an outdoor activity space, adjacent to the village basketball court. Training programmes to operate the library, and book donations have resulted in a fully functional space for the community.
