Sumpay: Reimagining Jagna De Plaza Through Sustainable Design and Local Connection

Sumpay, a Bisaya word meaning "to connect," captures the essence of this transformative urban project — a bold reimagining of Jagna De Plaza as a dynamic, inclusive, and sustainable public space that strengthens ties between people, culture, and nature. Rooted in the local identity of Jagna, Bohol, the project aims to revitalize the town plaza by weaving traditional elements with modern sustainable design principles. By integrating green architecture, multifunctional open spaces, and pedestrian-friendly zones, Sumpay aspires to create a vibrant hub that reflects the town’s heritage while supporting its growth. This initiative envisions the plaza not just as a place to gather, but as a “sumpay” — a living bridge that connects generations, celebrates Jagna's unique culture, and fosters stronger bonds between the community and their environment. Through participatory design and localized materials, the project honors the past, responds to the present, and inspires a more connected, resilient future for Jagna.
