This thesis focuses on integrating members of Christchurch's Filipino community into the architectural design process to create an outcome that incorporates input from both the researcher and the community. This study welcomes people and communities as co-creators of their built environment and fosters a sense of ownership and pride in their community. As Christchurch City begins to become a busier and more diverse society, the role of architecture extends beyond creating functional spaces. It has become crucial for architects and designers to actively engage with communities to promote cultural diversity and inclusivity in the design process. This thesis addresses these aspects by developing tools, engagements, materials, and modular designs that enable community members with varying building and designing experiences. As well as develop skills to participate actively in the design process and create a temporary pavilion.
