CONCEPT
"It is important to pass down not only the material things but also the intangible ones" - Maria Todi, T'boli Dreamweaver
We live in a world full of images, technology and global standards. We tend to think, that through looking at a map, a photo watching a film, reading a book is enough to understand a culture or place. However, we must be aware at the fact, that these mediums and events are still affected by our own cultural and personal backgrounds. With that the proposed Habilin: T'boli Cultural Complex aims to celebrate the culture, tradition and architecture of the tribe with an immersive tourism approach. By creating a space for the tribe where in they as individuals could learn, explore and teach. As well as making space for them to promote their culture.
"Do not wait for assistance from the government, do not depend on POs and NGOs. Instead, strengthen your community, value your culture as much as you value your life and aim for a self sustaining community."
