The Alexandra CondominiumThe Alexandra Condominium is a Work of National Artist for Landscape Architecture Ildefonso P. Santos located at Pasig City, Metro Manila, National Capital Region.
Unline other housing developments, the most unqiue feature of The Alexandra is the manner in which the buidlings are positioned. I.P. Santos was responsible for the site planning, sensitively placing each building in such a way that allowed each building privacy space. He first carefully studied the circulation of cars and people as it was important that no congestion happened along the rouute.. Deviating from the usual grid-like layout of residential condominiums, he chose something more free-form. He exploited the organic fluid line in the main paved road to connecct the whoolesite. He allowed small independend devitations from the maain riad to curve and swirl into circular rotudnas, around cl-de-sacs and bike paths that interconnected all the clusters.
