Palafox urges builders to consider ‘air-rise’ projects

PROMINENT Filipino architect, urban planner, and environmentalist Felino Palafox, Jr. is pushing for the development of high-rise buildings that will promote more open-space areas in urbanized areas, leading to a greener and more sustainable environment.

In a seminar entitled “Global trends and revolutionary ideas in urban planning, architecture and real estate development” at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in Makati City on Thursday, Palafox highlighted the need for the Philippines to develop more of what he called “air-rise” buildings.
