Quezon City, the place where the city’s vision is to hold a greatest potential for more-diverse

and better-planned urban development. The users in this project are middle to high income

Philippines. The client, Ayala Malls wishes to sustain the office workers to provide them an

accessible commercial hub as well as to provide luxurious lifestyle for the nearest

neighborhood around the area.

fixtures or any material that requires electricity.

About the Author

The author, Anna Angelica V. Mendoza grew up with her family in Quezon City

where she took up her basic and higher education. The author is inspired writing the topic

because she was curious on the suddenly widespread construction of malls in the Philippines

and how it was run and maintained. Anna loves to shop as well as many Filipinos, and as an

architecture student she wants to discover it and put uniqueness to her ideas.
