Explore BANATTI and the Green Falcon.
Read about BANATTIBANATTI. A Multidisciplinary design practice founded by Christopher Paris Lacson, exploring transportation architecture, mobility systems, industrial design, material innovation and architectural concepts.
Its work includes the Green Falcon, a bamboo-bodied electric motorcycle developed into a physical prototype, alongside original design studies and proposals spanning land, sea and air.
Read moreBefore asking what we can make, perhaps we should ask why.
BE CAUSE explores the intentions behind what we choose to create. What asks to be? What deserves our attention? And what responsibilities come with bringing something into the world?
Not everything possible needs to be made.
What we choose to do, why we do it, and who or what it may affect matter.
To BE CAUSE is to recognize that what we create has consequences beyond ourselves.
Read moreArchitecture explores the relationships between people, place, materials and movement.
An idea about mining opens one possibility. The landscape of Sipalay inspires another. In Ugong, bamboo, rivers and heritage suggest different ways of building and moving.
Each begins differently. Each asks what might become possible.
These are explorations of what could be, shaped by the relationships between nature, people and the places we inhabit.
Read moreThe Hangar is where ideas begin to take form.
From the Green Falcon, built and ridden, to vehicles, structures and systems yet to be realized, each manifestation explores a different possibility.
Some have taken physical form. Others remain drawings, studies and proposals. All begin with questions about materials, movement, purpose and the relationships they serve.
Here, imagination meets the work of making.
Formation before position.
Read moreFOR asks whom and what our creations serve.
We are part of Nature, not apart from it. What we create with Her must belong within the relationships that sustain life.
Across land, sea and air, we explore possibilities for moving people, connecting places, and improving how we live.
But possibility alone is not purpose. What we make, how we make it, and what we leave behind matter.
To restore dignity. To transport life. To BANAT responsibly.
Read moreROOTS acknowledges those who came before, those who stood beside us, and those whose hands and minds helped bring ideas into being.
From family and formative influences to teachers, makers and collaborators, each relationship has contributed something to what BANATTI is becoming.
Some planted. Some nurtured. Some questioned. Some built. All left something worth carrying forward.
And the work continues. New questions, new discoveries, new relationships.
Will our roots grow together?
