Everything has a story to tell. What if old places innovate? What if these old places change and at the same time become trendy and useful? These are what you can find at the PSID exhibit. A wonderful creations that will amaze you when you visit this extraordinay exhibit!









Old, historic structures and new design ideas, yes they can harmoniously go together, and the Philippine School of Interior Design (PSID) Advance Class of 2018 will show just how when they present “JUXTAPOSE: Espasyo at Panahon” this October 1-31, 2018 at the Santolan Town Plaza in San Juan City. 

The PSID graduation exhibit will explore adaptive reuse as a solution to design problems by repurposing old buildings or sites for a function other that what it was originally built for.

Co-presented by Santolan Town Plaza and in partnership with the National Commision for Culture and the Arts (NCAA), the exhibit will showcase 17 booths that challenge proponents of cultural heritage conservation developers and the audience to find creative solutions in the restoration and rehabilitation of historic structures. It also seeks to impart a sense of heritage to Filipinos with a further understanding and appreciation of our cultural and historical identity. 

The exhibit is divided into three galleries: Tahanan, Pangkalakal, and Pang-industriya, where forgotten historical structures are given relevance once again and given design concepts such as bars, cafes, specialty stores, wellness centers, among others.

The Tahanan gallery will focus on residential buildings like the iconic Bahay na Bato, and 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”. 

The Pangkalakal gallery will present booths reminiscent of Escolta and Avenida Rizal’s commercial streetscapes like the “La Moneda Bookshop and Cafe”, “CC Café + Creatives”, “Little Café Museum”, “Café 308”, “Kusina Aduana”, and “Below Zero Gelateria”.

The Pang-industriya gallery will highlight design solutions for old industrial sites which will be demonstrated in the booths “13 Fit Street”, “Dor-Moderno”, “Station No. 15”,  “Polo Estacion”, and “KM 102 Gentleman’s Barber Lounge”.
