N2  - Each society is identified through various characteristics: their 
culture, their architecture, their food, or the combination of all three. These 
interconnecting elements have a certain effect on other significant cultural 
minorities existing within the same society, with their own respective 
characteristics. By identifying these effects, a cultural minority is able to fully 
take advantage of its consumer, develop a style that attracts its target market 
yet not stray from its cultural origins, and architecturally speaking, develop a 
set of design guidelines unique to the needs, preferences, and functionality of 
its spaces and end users. 
The study aimed to determine how one dominating culture, the Modern 
Filipino culture and cuisine, affect other cultural minorities existing within in – 
namely, Japanese, Halal, Indian, and Healthy/Vegan cuisine. Three restaurants 
of each cuisine were studied through ocular observation and key informant 
interviews. All the data gathered underwent statistical treatments and analysis 
via the space syntax method, and the fuzzy logic analysis to determine the ideal 
space configuration for each cuisine that maximizes functional efficiency, taking 
into account the significant differences each cuisine carried under the dominant 
modern Filipino culture. 
Design guidelines of culinary spaces for each cuisine then developed 
from the analysis and integrated into a possible project which is a Cultural food 
park. The Cultural food park showcases cultural and cuisine diversity, with a 
space design that took great consideration of the internal variety of cultures, 
cuisine, and architecture, and the external dominating modern Filipino culture
