I'm Aya Jade Rubio, a fifth-year Bachelor of Science in Architecture student at Mapúa Malayan Colleges Laguna with a strong interest in adaptive reuse, architectural preservation, and sustainable design. My passion for architecture began with a fascination for old buildings and the stories they hold. I believe that preserving the past is an essential part of creating meaningful spaces for the future. This perspective has shaped my approach to design—one that values cultural identity, environmental responsibility, and thoughtful innovation. As an aspiring architect, I strive to create spaces that are functional, sustainable, and deeply connected to the people who use them. I see architecture not only as a profession but as an opportunity to make a positive and lasting impact on communities through purposeful design. Beyond architecture, I enjoy traveling, spending quality time with my family, and finding inspiration in everyday experiences. These moments continue to broaden my perspective and influence the way I think about design and the built environment.Research 2026 Preservation of Spanish Colonial Landmarks in Cale Real (Poblacion 1& 2) Pagsanjan, Laguna Architectural Thesis 2025 Reimagining the Ortigas Excavation Site: A Sustainable Mixed-Use High-Rise Development.

PHILIPPINES"Preservation of Spanish Colonial Landmarks in Cale Real (Poblacion 1& 2) Pagsanjan, Laguna”Academic Thesis | Bachelor of Science in Architecture Location: Calle Real, Pagsanjan, Laguna Project Type: Heritage Conservation • Urban Design • Master Planning • Preservation • Adaptive Reuse2026Calle Real, Pagsanjan, Laguna is home to a remarkable collection of Spanish colonial landmarks that embody the town's rich architectural and cultural heritage. Over time, many of these historic structures have experienced deterioration, underutilization, and incompatible alterations, threatening their historical significance and long-term preservation. This thesis reimagines Calle Real as a vibrant heritage district where preservation and contemporary use coexist, ensuring that these landmarks remain meaningful and relevant for future generations. The proposal encompasses 15 heritage structures, categorized into preservation, adaptive reuse, and compatible new construction, creating a balanced approach to conservation and urban revitalization. Guided by historical research, community engagement, and site analysis, the master plan establishes a framework that protects cultural identity while supporting tourism, local businesses, and sustainable community development. The project consists of 15 architectural interventions, each carefully evaluated based on its historical significance, physical condition, and potential contribution to the revitalization of Calle Real. Together, these interventions create a cohesive heritage district that preserves the town's identity while introducing new opportunities for community use and economic growth. 1Pg. 3Preservation,, Adaptive Reuse, & Site PlanningPortfolio / Aya Jade Rubio LOCATIONPa gsanjan Ma pWORLDWIDEUNESCO HERITAGE MAPPhilippine Cultura l Herita ge Ma pDAPTIVE REUSEAREPURPOSED SELECTED STRUCTURES FOR COMPATIBLE NEW USES WHILE PRESERVING CHARACTER AND SUSTAINABILITY.REPROGRAMMING OF SPACESRETENTION OF HERITAGE CHARACTERSUSTAINABLE INTERVENTIONSENSITIVE INTERVENTIONSEW CONSTRUCTIONNDESIGNED NEW FACILITIES TO SUPPORT CALLE REAL’S NEEDS WHILE COMPLEMENTING ITS HERITAGE CONTEXT.SUPPORT FACILITIESACCESSIBLE ENHANCEMENTCONTEXTUAL & SUSTAINABLE DESIGNPUBLIC SPACE & AMENITIESRESERVATIONPPRESERVED ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS AND HERITAGE VALUE WHILE IMPROVING UTILITIES FOR SAFETY, FUNCTIONALITY, AND LONGEVITY.CONSERVATION OF EXISTING FABRICIMPROVED PLUMBING AND SANITARYSTRUCTURAL STABILIZATIONUPGRADED ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

"Preservation of Spanish Colonial Landmarks in Cale Real (Poblacion 1& 2) Pagsanjan, Laguna”Academic Thesis | Bachelor of Science in Architecture Location: Calle Real, Pagsanjan, Laguna Project Type: Heritage Conservation • Urban Design • Master Planning • Preservation • Adaptive Reuse Every design decision began with understanding the history, culture, and identity of Pagsanjan. The project started with extensive research on the town's Spanish colonial heritage, architectural character, historical significance, and conservation policies. Site documentation and cultural mapping provided a comprehensive understanding of Calle Real and its surrounding context before any planning or design interventions were proposed. The research then progressed through community surveys and interviews with local residents, property owners, local government officials, engineers, and heritage conservation professionals. Their insights identified the district's preservation priorities, existing challenges, and opportunities for adaptive reuse, ensuring that the master plan responded not only to the built environment but also to the needs and aspirations of the community. The proposal was informed by 165 respondents, including community members, heritage experts, government representatives, engineers, and property owners. Their feedback shaped the preservation strategies, adaptive reuse proposals, and public space improvements throughout the project. The study revealed that many heritage buildings continue to retain their architectural authenticity despite deterioration and changing uses. Stakeholders emphasized preserving defining architectural elements while improving accessibility, infrastructure, and public spaces through compatible adaptive reuse and sustainable design.Preservation,, Adaptive Reuse, & Site PlanningPortfolio / Aya Jade RubioArchitecture & Heritage PreservationSocietal ImpactAcademic ContributionProfessional & Personal RelevancePolicy & GovernancePg. 4

Preservation,, Adaptive Reuse, & Site PlanningPortfolio / Aya Jade RubioPg. 5Design Approach The proposal applies a preservation-first approach that respects the historical significance and architectural character of every heritage structure. Existing landmarks are carefully conserved through minimal and compatible interventions, while adaptive reuse introduces new functions that support tourism, education, commerce, and community life. New developments are designed to complement the existing heritage fabric through appropriate scale, materials, and contextual design. My contribution focused on the planning and architectural design of six key interventions within the heritage corridor, demonstrating how preservation and contemporary architecture can work together to revitalize an entire historic district. Key Design Interventions Heritage Streetscape Redeveloped Calle Real into a pedestrian-friendly heritage corridor that enhances walkability while preserving the historic streetscape and public realm. Diversion Road Introduced an alternative traffic route to reduce vehicular congestion within the heritage district, creating a safer and more pedestrian-oriented environment. Adaptive Reuse Museum Adaptively reused the former Municipio into a museum that celebrates the history and cultural identity of Pagsanjan while preserving its architectural character. Heritage Restaurant Preserved an ancestral house that continues to operate as a heritage restaurant, protecting its historic architectural features while supporting its ongoing commercial use. Plaza Hotel Revitalization Revitalized the historic Plaza Hotel through sensitive preservation and functional improvements that enhance its continued use while maintaining its heritage significance. Riverfront Esplanade Designed a public riverfront esplanade that reconnects Calle Real with the Pagsanjan River, creating an accessible open space that promotes recreation, tourism, and community activities. Project Outcome Together, these interventions transform Calle Real into a cohesive heritage district where preservation, adaptive reuse, and compatible new development work together to celebrate the town's history while supporting sustainable urban growth. The proposal demonstrates how thoughtful architectural planning can protect cultural heritage, strengthen community identity, and create vibrant public spaces for future generations.DCAA11234564.624.424.1012.521.494.4313.381.326.192.291.831.721.381.441.353.101.251.304.143.121.453.648.115.8113.615.5210.07789104.423.251.352.762.9611.796.59BPOOL AREABEDROOM 1JOINT DELUXE ROOMBEDROOM 2KITCHENDINING AREAT&BT&BT&BT&BBEDROOM 3BEDROOM 4STAIRCASEBEDROOM 5T&BBEDROOM 6T&BT&BBEDROOM 7BEDROOM 8T&BT&BDELUXE ROOM 2T&BDELUXE ROOM 1DCAA11234564.624.424.424.1012.521.494.4313.381.326.192.291.831.721.381.442.867.691.901.304.146.051.453.648.115.8113.615.5210.0778910B2.96POOL AREAEVENT HALLHALLWAYHALLWAYROOM 2ROOM 1PWD RESTROOMCRT & BT & BSTAIR CASEHALLWAYDINNING HALLKITCHENENTRANCEPWD RESTROOMFEMALE TOILETMALE TOILETLOBBYCLERKADMIN OFFICESERVICE AREA1 ROYAL SUITE 1 PRESIDENTIAL SUITE 2 DELUXE SUITES 4 STANDARD ROOMS 2 ACCESSIBLE ROOMSNS CA L ES CA L E1 : 3 0 0 M TS1 : 3 0 0 M TSS E C O N D F LO O R P L A NS E C O N D F LO O R P L A NG R O U N D F LO O R P L A NG R O U N D F LO O R P L A NS CA L ES CA L E1 : 3 0 0 M TS1 : 3 0 0 M TS PLAZA HOTEL ESPLANADE DE PAGSANJAN MUSEO DE PAGSANJAN LA CASA REMEDIOSS E C O N D F LO O R P L A NS E C O N D F LO O R P L A NS CA L ES CA L EN TSN TSG R O U N D F LO O R P L A NG R O U N D F LO O R P L A NS CA L ES CA L EN TSN TSSTORAGEM CRRESTROOMLOUNGEMAIN KITCHENDINING AREAFM CROFFICECOFFEE BAR COUNTERKITCHEN AND FOOD PREP AREA.DOWNCUTLERY STATIONPRIVATE DINING AREADINING AREASTORAGECRROOF ACCESSS E C O N D F LO O R P L A NS E C O N D F LO O R P L A NS CA L ES CA L EN TSN TSG R O U N D F LO O R P L A NG R O U N D F LO O R P L A NS CA L ES CA L EN TSN TS

"SIERA”2025 "TANGLAW: A Beacon of Innovation" Design Competition ARC107P Design 8 Competition Mapúa Malayan Colleges Laguna Location: EDSA–Ortigas, Metro Manila Project Type: Mixed-Use High-Rise Development Role: Team Leader2026 SIERA is a mixed-use skyscraper inspired by the strength and resilience of the Sierra Madre mountain range. Located within the EDSA– Ortigas corridor, the project reimagines high- density urban living by integrating residential, commercial, hospitality, entertainment, and public spaces into a sustainable vertical community. The design balances environmental responsibility, functionality, and contemporary architecture, creating a landmark that responds to both its urban context and the needs of future users. Before the design phase, our team conducted extensive research on the site's history, urban conditions, and development potential. We also interviewed the president of the company behind the site's original high-rise proposal, gaining valuable insights into the project's initial vision, construction challenges, and the reasons the development was discontinued. These findings became the foundation of our proposal, allowing us to address previous limitations through resilient planning, sustainable technologies, and context-sensitive design. 2Pg. 6Portfolio / Aya Jade RubioBARRACKSVEGETATION OVERGROWTHPARTIAL STRUCTURAL ELEMENTSLot Area: 4,019 Sq M.Ortigas AvenueE.

The use of deep piling or raft foundations to bypass weak soil layers.Post Tension Cable - Commonly used in large infrastructure projects, with the site near at the MRT railways, it needs support to enhance structural strength.Scaffolding and Support Beams – Some steel supports and framework are still visible, though they are heavily rusted. The site’s exposed steel reinforcements suffer from rust and corrosion, further deteriorating the structural integrity.Dense Overgrowth of Vegetation – Trees, vines, and grass have taken over parts of the structure, growing through cracks and open spaces. Some areas appear almost forest- like. This uncontrolled plant growth suggests that nature has started to reclaim the space, which may have weakened existing foundations due to root infiltration.Water Accumulation Risk – The lower levels of the site appear dark, indicating stagnant water or moisture buildup, which can contribute to further structural degradation.site inventorySiéraSiéraMixed-Use High-Rise Skyscraper

Cascading green terraces, organic massing, and nature-inspired materials soften the tower's scale while strengthening the connection between the built environment and nature. Environmental performance was a key design priority. The tower was carefully oriented to minimize shadow impact on nearby residential communities, while a high-performance glazed façade improves daylighting and reduces heat gain. The project also integrates 100% water recycling, rainwater harvesting, passive cooling, green terraces, and smart building systems to reduce environmental impact and create a resilient, future-ready development.Pg. 7Portfolio / Aya Jade Rubio2ND FLOOR (PODIUM)5000 1ST FLOOR (PODIUM) 0 BASEMENT 1-350 0BASEMENT 2-700 0BASEMENT 3-10 50 0BASEMENT 4-14 00 0BASEMENT 5-17 50 0BASEMENT 6-21 00 0BASEMENT 7-24 50 0BASEMENT 8-28 00 032ND FLOOR (THEATER)13 890 031ST FLOOR (EXPO)13 360 030TH FLOOR (EVENTS PLACE)12 830 029TH FLOOR (BALLROOM)12 190 028TH FLOOR (EXPO)11 660 027TH FLOOR (EVENTS PLACE)11 130 0BREEZEWAY 3.210 830 0BREEZEWAY 310 530 026TH FLOOR (ENTERTAINMENT)10 150 025TH FLOOR (ENTERTAINMENT)97 70 024TH FLOOR (CASINO)93 90 023RD FLOOR2 3(ERXDE FCLUOTOIVRE (OFFIICE)90 70 022ND FLOOR2 2(ENXDE FCLUOTOIVRE (OFFIICE)87 50 021ST FLOOR2 (1ESXTE FCLUOTOIVRE (OFFICE)84 30 020TH FLOO20RT (HP RFELOMOIURM ( OFFIICE)81 10 019TH FLOO19RT (HP RFELOMOIURM ( OFFIICE)77 90 018TH FLOO18RT (HP RFELOMOIURM ( OFFIICE)74 70 017TH FLOOR (OFFICE)71 50 0BREEZEWAY 2.268 50 0BREEZEWAY 265 50 016TH FLOOR1 6(STTHA FNLDOAORRD ( OFFICE)62 30 015TH FLOOR1 5(STTHA FNLDOAORRD ( OFFICE)59 10 014TH FLOOR1 4(STTHA FNLDOAORRD ( OFFICE)55 90 012TH FLOOR1 2(STTHA FNLDOAORRD ( OFFICE)52 70 011TH FLOOR (OFFICE)49 50 010TH FLOOR1 0(STTHA FNLDOAORRD ( OFFICE)46 30 09TH FLOOR 9(STTHA FNLDOAORRD ( OFFICE)43 10 08TH FLOOR 8(STTHA FNLDOAORRD ( OFFICE)39 90 07TH FLOOR 7(STTHA FNLDOAORRD ( OFFICE)36 70 06TH FLOOR (OFFICE)33 50 0BREEZEWAY 1.230 50 0BREEZEWAY27 50 05TH FLOOR (PODIUM)22 50 0SKYSCRAPER TOP37 270 083RD FLOOR ( SKYPARK)36 770 082ND FLOOR ( SKYPARK)36 270 081ST FLOOR ( SKYPARK)35 890 080TH FLOOR ( SKYPARK)35 510 0BREEZEWAY 9.235 210 0BREEZEWAY 934 910 079TH FLOOR (CHAIRMAN SUITE)34 530 078TH FLOOR (PRESIDENTIAL SUITE)34 150 077TH FLOOR (PRESIDENTIAL SUITE)33 770 076TH FLOOR (THE CLUB ROOM)33 390 075TH FLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)33 070 074TH FLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)32 750 073RD FLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)32 430 072NDFLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)32 110 0BREEZEWAY 8.231 810 0BREEZEWAY 831 510 071STFLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)31 190 070TH FLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)30 870 069TH FLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)30 550 068TH FLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)30 230 067TH FLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)29 910 066TH FLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)29 590 065TH FLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)29 270 064TH FLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)28 950 063RD FLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)28 630 062ND FLOOR (CONDOMINIUM)28 310 0BREEZEWAY 7.228 010 0BREEZEWAY 727 710 061ST FLOOR (HOTEL)27 330 060TH FLOOR (HOTEL)26 950 059TH FLOOR (HOTEL)26 570 058TH FLOOR (HOTEL)26 190 057TH FLOOR (HOTEL)25 810 056TH FLOOR (HOTEL)25 430 055TH FLOOR (HOTEL)25 050 054TH FLOOR (HOTEL)24 670 053RD FLOOR (HOTEL)24 290 052ND FLOOR (HOTEL)23 910 0BREEZEWAY 6.223 610 0BREEZEWAY 623 310 051ST FLOOR (HOTEL)22 930 050TH FLOOR (HOTEL)22 550 049TH FLOOR (HOTEL)22 170 048TH FLOOR (HOTEL)21 790 047TH FLOOR (HOTEL)21 410 046TH FLOOR (HOTEL)21 030 045TH FLOOR (HOTEL)20 650 044TH FLOOR (HOTEL)20 270 043RD FLOOR (HOTEL)19 890 042ND FLOOR (HOTEL)19 510 0BREEZEWAY 5.219 210 0BREEZEWAY 518 910 041ST FLOOR (HOTEL)18 530 040TH FLOOR (HOTEL)18 150 039TH FLOOR (HOTEL)17 770 038TH FLOOR (HOTEL)17 390 037TH FLOOR (HOTEL)17 010 036TH FLOOR
