With the analysis of the challenges of social housing in Manila, this project aims to form a vision of shaping a community that helps to make a better city. Regarding the climate, disaster resilience and security, the open and closed courtyards lead to different spacial experiences. These courtyards are part of a system of spaces that are managed by the community, generating income and developing the livelihood for the house dwellers.
