Balay Yatu (Balay: home in Filipino; Yatu: earth or memory in Kapampangan), set in Manila, is poised to become Asia’s first youth-curated creative space focused on regenerating traditional cultural and ecological knowledge for nature-based climate solutions. Founded by sisters Natasha and Isabella Tanjutco, the project connects urban spaces with a network of island community museums across the Philippines, designed using neo-vernacular architecture. With the Philippines on the frontlines of the climate crisis, the sisters collaborate with designers, artists, and youth movements to reimagine climate solutions through spatial experiences, product design, and research that fosters intergenerational co-creation. Natasha and Isabella were recently featured in Vogue Philippines.
