Expansion
A comprehensive master plan for the development of the complex was inaugurated in 2003. It plans to divide the CCP Complex into six clusters, each of which will be anchored by a large building. First, the Promenade, which will temporarily be named after Lucresia Reyes-Urtula, will include retail and other mixed facilities, as well as dock facilities. The second group will become the Art Asylum, which will serve as a core of complex culture. To be anchored by Tanghalang Pambansa, it will contain a new performing arts theater, artist center, stage, PKT Production Design Center, as well as other open areas.
The third group, Green Zone will contain a mixture of museums, parks with commercial space and offices. Fourth, cluster Creative Hub, which contains space for the creative industry. Fifth, The Arts Living Room, which is expected to be a high-rise, high-rise area that will be home to condominiums and similar housing projects. The final cluster, Breezeway, will be located in a low-rise, low-density commercial building with seafront entertainment facilities. Closed walkways, plazas and bicycle lanes are planned to connect various buildings and clusters to ensure pedestrian-centered design. The master plan is expected to be completed in four phases, from 2004 to 2014; ? 5 billion will be needed for the first five-year plan, and the other? 8 billion for the second half of the plan. The design contest was held in 2005 to design the first two clusters. Three companies win for their concept; Syndicate Architect, Manalang-Tayag-Ilano Architects, and JPA Buensalido Design. The concepts of each winner will then be presented to potential investors and stakeholders for approval.
In 2011, Leandro V. Locsin Partners, Architects won a design contest for the Artist Center and Theater of the Performing Arts, two buildings that will become the anchors of the Promenade and the Arts Sanctuary Cluster respectively. The proposed Artists Center will place offices and training rooms for CCP resident companies, black box theaters and space for educational programs. The winning design is similar to traditional Badjao villages or mangrove forests, with rooms and pavilions supported by thin pilots. The proposed Theatrical Theater will contain 1,000 seats of conventional proscenium theater and a black box that will accommodate 300-500 people. In contrast to the massive Tanghalang Pambansa travertine block, the new theatrical façade will be dominated by the main seating bowl clad in reflective material, generating rising waves from the ocean. On January 19, 2016, the construction of a new black box theater began with the goal of finally integrating the new structure into the proposed Theatrical Art Theater. An estimated cost of 50 million, the new theater will be three to four times larger than Tanghalang Huseng Batute, the current black box facility of the CCP.
