he provincial government of
Camarines Sur recently unveiled
its plans for the new CamSur
Capitol building—a world-
class, eco-friendly structure
that pays homage to the province’s rich history.
Conceptualised by Carlos Arnaiz Architects
(CAZA), the Capitol will be designed to be
enjoyed by Filipinos for decades to come.
The building’s design is inspired by the
region’s signature produce, pili nuts. Husk-shaped
structures are assembled in a spiral to create
the illusion of a mountain when viewed from
the horizon, and a fl ower when seen from the
sky. The spiral arrangement creates a covered,
open-air atrium at the centre of the building,
while each individual “husk” contains a series of
roof terraces. The Capitol will be divided into
four levels: a covered parking area with drop-
off points, a multi-purpose lobby, an innovative
workspace, and the governor’s quarters.
The new CamSur Capitol will be set in
the middle of a new public park, amidst
lush greenery. It is expected to become an
iconic building that will set new standards in
local architecture.
Filipino artisans and entrepreneurs come together in this
highly-anticipated fair
