Adaptive reuse is the process of reusing old buildings or sites for a purpose other than which it was built for. For the exhibit, entitled “Juxtapose,” interior design students take the challenge of marrying the past and present with designs that breathe new life into historical spaces.

Seventeen booths will be mounted to challenge the audience, proponents of the conservation of cultural heritage, and developers to find creative solutions in the restoration and rehabilitation of historical structures. Juxtapose seeks to help Filipinos further understand our cultural and historical identity.

The exhibition will walk the audience through three galleries, namely Tahanan, Pangkalakal, and Pang-industriya.

Focusing on residential buildings like the iconic bahay na bato, the Tahanan gallery will feature booths such as “The bar beneath…in San Juan,” “The Vigan Atelier,” “Small Space, Big Living,” “Modern Filipino Haven,” “Bridal Boudoir,” and the “Marahuyo Spa and Tea House.”
