Bakas
How do we design what is not there? How do we convey a forgotten or vanishing message? Those were the question that we kept asking ourselves.
“Bakas”, the Filipino word for “trace”, is an exhibition that explores the impact of climate change and development on the Philippines’ coastal communities. The exhibition emphasizes the importance of remembering and preserving these vulnerable areas, which are historically significant to the country’s cultural and social fabric. Through three narrative acts, visitors experience the challenges of densification, the effects of urban expansion, commercial tourism, and environmental degradation.
The exhibition uses symbolic elements, such as abandoned boats and etched glass panels, to represent the loss of heritage and connection to the coastlines. It also includes personal narratives of those who have lost their homes and livelihoods, urging architects and planners to consider the needs of smaller communities in their designs.
By documenting these vanishing landscapes, “Bakas” calls for a more inclusive and sustainable approach to development, where traditional communities and ecosystems are preserved and integrated into the future growth of urban areas. The exhibition serves as a reminder that architecture has the power to influence and protect the most vulnerable, advocating for a renewed focus on conservation as a source of inspiration for better growth and development.
