Ode To Ayala Center's (Cebu) Lagoon...

This used to be my favorite part in Ayala Center in Cebu, maybe because of the garden and its lagoon. From here one can walk leisurely under the trees across towards Marriott Hotel. However, all that is going to change now. Construction for building expansion is being currently undertaken and the area is under wraps. So it is possible there will be changes and I may not be seeing it again...


One thing I do like about the design of Ayala Center is that it makes use of natural lighting. In the morning, sunlight passes through the clear glass roofs and illuminates the building, thus conserving the use of electricity. Something which I find very practical and economical especially since we enjoy sunshine most times of the year. That round building over there is the activity center.

A number of times, the mall held entertainment shows in the lagoon area in which local and international artists were being invited. And on Christmas and New Year's eves, there are fireworks displays ...

Whatever changes will be implemented, we trust Ayala management will still keep the improvements environmentally friendly yet pleasing to human senses...
