I. INTRODUCTION
a.Project Summary

November 26, 2018 [ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING]

A technical working group (TWG) of a certain municipality convened

and made a proposal to demolish the old dilapidated municipal hall not
only due to the building physical status but also its limited area to
accommodate the need of the growing public service. The goal is to
upgrade and provide an adequate and well-managed municipal hall for the
increasing population of the area. The group said the residents in the
area had earlier agreed for the construction of the facility with the
condition that all social, economic and environmental concerns are to be
addressed first by the local government. An allocated buddget for this
new construction was made available through the national government with
the endorsement of the mayor of this town and the governor of Benguet.

With the technology, time has brought advancements almost in every

aspect of life, from architecture, business, education, social life,
transportation, communication, agriculture, and others. The integration
of technology services at all the different department of the municipal
government to their constituents for more expected in order to improve
its service such as;

a) Computerize government operation for more effective and efficient

delivery of service.
b) Encourage innovativeness in managing the urban environment.
c) Strengthen inter-municipal coordination for problems going beyond.
d) Maximize external financing sources.
e) Enhance continuing capability building ativities for LGU.
f) Develop a more responsive bureaucracy.
g) Encourage stronger GO-NGO partnership.

Quoting from the 1991 local government code of the Philippines under
SECTION NO.2 Declaration of Policy, state that, (a) it is hereby
declared the policy of the state that the territorial and political
subdivisions of the State shall enjoy genuine and meaningful local
autonomy to enabe them to attain their fullest development as self-
reliant communities and make them more effective partners in the
attainment of national goals. Towards this end, the State shall provide
for a more responsive and accountable local government structure
instituted through a system of decentralization whereby local government
units shall be given more powers, authority, responsibilities, and
resources… SECTION NO. 3 Operative Principles of Decentralization
further state the following;(b) there shall be established in every loca
government unit an accountable, efficient, and dynamic organizational
structure and operating mechanism that will meet the priority needs and
service requirements of its communities; (f) Local government units may
group themselves, consolidated or coordinate their efforts, services,
and resources for purposes commonly beneficial to them. The statements
above support the idea that the municipality needs to have progression
of the aspects of the government structure and service requirements of
its communities that leads to this proposed project. Committed public
service of the local government can attain a progressive and sustainable
development that can be dynamic, responsive and people oriented through
the design of the municipal hall

b.Project Objectives
The objectives of this case study primarily to create a new area of
destination where recreational and sports activities were combined to
enhance the users’ mood and/or approach to the importance of healthy
life style and to create a better ambience to the users and an
appearance of a building that is new to audience.

The secondary objective is through this architectural design and

planning, it would formulate

a) To design a sports complex that is expressive of the owner’s desire to

render excellent public service.

b) To design the building in a way that can maximize space for the given
lot but with the consideration of the comforts of the users.
c) To design this building in consideration of the future needs.

c.Project Goals
 DESIGNERS GOALS

For the residence of the project where it was located, they have
to experience full services and comfort in regards with financial,
property and other aspects of business, services that provides them
anything but comfort, needs or wants and an environment that will give
them assurance and security. Since the site for the project is opposite
to SM’s residential mall, as a designer, my goal is to come up with a
plan that will boost the company’s(SM) income at the same time will
improve their customer’s services through a commercial complex. A fresh
and iconic facility that is sustainable and innovative. The sports
complex shouldn’t only be attractive but also functional that can serve
everyone and no one is excluded. The design of the building should have
a touch of a Modern lines/style that will make the people be more
attracted and even wanting more to come back because of the design
impact that it portraits and gives to the people. The design of the
building should be relaxing that attracts and entertain the people.

The following objectives form the basis for the Mixed - use design
guidelines. The intention of the guidelines is to promote a desired
level of Development quality that will:
 Provide a commercial space at ground floor for additional income
and would attract wide clientele;
 Protect even the passersby and their environment ensuring the
needs of non-motorized travelers are incorporated into the
circulation plan;
 Design parking that not only provides secure resident parking, but
also promotes safe interaction between vehicles and pedestrians;
 Ensure compatibility between user.
 Provided that all the entrances are ramps for disabled people.
 Using Sustainable elements in the design that will ensure green
and fresher environment for users and for the existing environment
of the site.

 Providing enough spaces for hallways, lobby’s and other areas that
will make the people comfortable and not making them feel trap
inside a box.

d.Design Considerations:
a) Function and efficiency;
b) Vertical and horizontal circulation patterns; with curves for the façade
and elevations;
c) Architectural character and for;
d) Aesthetic and landmark quality;
e) Solar, wind, noise, and odor view orientation;
f) Amenities, facilities, services and utilities (AFSU)introduced;
g) Security and safety features;
h) Compliance with prevailing laws
i) Natural and artificial ventilation where applicable; and
j) Building’s exterior shall be along modern lines/styles;
k) Green architecture elements.

II. SITE DEVELOPMENT

 Provisions for providing a secondary emergency access
 Anticipate future access to the recreation area
 Landscaped buffer
 Design of the physical layout of the neighborhood that responds to
the existing natural conditions:
 Sun

Page 3

 Wind
 Rain
 Earthquake
 Modular addition of recyclable materials to the building massing
 Waste area for organic biofuel and soil fertilization
 Hydraulic turbines powered by storm water
 Aesthetic down spouts for drainage into rain gardens
 Versatile light access to gardens
 HVAC Systems to adopt to the change of wet and dry seasons

a.Site Analysis

The lot is 25773 sq. meter. It is a corner lot with a 12.00 M.

wide major road and 8.00 M. wide minor road. The site has a slope of
8.00 meters from point 100 - point 108

 Vegetation

Page 3
November 26, 2018 [ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING]

Since the site has no vegetation, it is installed by different

trees of different purpose. Some are intended to absorb carbon dioxide,
some are for shading, some are buffers and some are to identify the
sites boundary.

b.Site Design Concept

Page 3
 November 26, 2018 [ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING]

The lot is divided by horizontal and vertical axis to properly

distribute the areas and create symmetrical harmony within the site. The
design concept of the site is the Baguio Panagbenga Festival. The vertical
axis creates the central park sited directly towards the site vista. The
northern part of the vertical axis is where the monument of the late Daniel
Burnham located. The concept was for him to point towards to the horizon he
once created, which is an appreciation of the planning of the City of Baguio.
The flag pole and the open ground are also located in the central axis for
easy access. A view deck tower is located at the center of the axis for site
seeing and to appreciate the site and the neighborhood. The civic plaza is
located beneath the tower with two (2) flower parks which is located in left
and right wing for recreation and relaxation. The civic plaza has wide open
area for picture taking having a good view of the building, the tower, and the
site interior installed with beautiful water fountain for entertainment.
Beneath the civic plaza is the entrance of the plaza itself.

Disability Law

CATEGORIES OF DISABLED PERSONS. The categories of disability dictate the

varied measures to be adopted in order to create an accessible environment for
the handicapped. Disabled persons under these Rules may be classified into
those who have:
1. Impairments requiring confinement to wheelchairs; or
2. Impairments causing difficulty or insecurity in walking or climbing
stairs or requiring the use of braces, crutches or other artificial
supports; or impairments caused by amputation, arthritis, spastic
conditions or pulmonary, cardiac or other ills rendering individuals
semi-ambulatory; or
3. Total or partial impairments of hearing or sight causing insecurity or
like hood of exposure to danger in public places; or
4. Impairments due to conditions of aging and in coordination;
5. Mental impairments whether acquired or congenital in nature.”

Fire Code
1. Fire protection features such as sprinkler systems, hose boxes, hose
reels or standpipe systems and other fire fighting equipment;
2. Fire Alarm systems;
3. Fire walls to separate adjoining buildings, or warehouses and storage
areas from other occupancies in the same building;
4. Provisions for confining the fire at its source such as fire resistive
floors and walls extending up to the next floor slab or roof, curtain
boards and other fire containing or stopping components;
5. Termination of all exits in an area affording safe passage to a public
way or safe dispersal area;
6. Stairway, vertical shafts, horizontal exits and other meals of egress
sealed from smoke and heat;
7. A fire exit plan for each floor of the building showing the routes from
each other room to appropriate exits, displayed prominently on the door
of such room;
8. Self-closing fire resistive doors leading to corridors;
9. Fire dampers in centralized air-conditioning ducts;
10. Roof vents for use by fire fighters; and
11. Properly marked and lighted exits with provision for emergency
lights to adequately illuminate exit ways in case of power failure.
12.
Miscellaneous Requirements

ANTHROPOMETRICS AND DIMENSIONAL DATA AS GUIDES FOR DESIGN.

The minimum and maximum dimensions for spaces in the built environment
should consider the following criteria:

1. The varying sizes and statures of persons of both sexes, their reaches and
their lines of sight at both the standing and sitting positions.

2. The dimensional data of the technical aids of disabled persons. Included in

the second consideration are the dimensions of wheelchairs; the minimum
spaces needed for locking and unlocking leg braces plus the range of the
distance of crutches and other walking aids from persons using such
devices. By applying at this very early stage dimensional criteria which
take into account wheelchair usage, the physical environment will

Page 3
 November 26, 2018 [ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING]

ultimately encouraged and enable wheelchair users to make full use of their
physical surroundings.

3. The provision of adequate space for wheelchair maneuvering generally

insures adequate space for disabled persons equipped with other technical
aids or accompanied by assistants. The length of wheelchairs varies from
1.10 m to 1.30 m . The width of wheelchairs is from 0.60 m to 0.75 m. A
circle of 1.50 m in diameter is a suitable guide in the planning of
wheelchair turning spaces. The comfortable reach of persons confined to
wheelchairs is from 0.70 m to 1.20 m above the floor and not less than 0.40
m from room corners. The comfortable clearance for knee and leg space under
tables for wheelchair users is 0.70 m. Counter height shall be placed at a
level comfortable to disabled persons reach.

IV. Architectural Design Criteria

design standards establish and encourage innovative mixed-use development

as an alternative to typical suburban, use-segregated development. The
guidelines aim to create connected, pedestrian-friendly environments with
an integrated mix of uses, including a variety of housing types and usable
public spaces. These guidelines apply only to properties zoned Mixed-Use
District (MXD).

Site design standards provide site planning guidance for commercial and
offices developments. Grading, landscaping, site lighting and open space
requirements also are included in these guidelines.

Architectural design standards outline criteria to create high quality,

pedestrian scaled buildings that enhance the built environment. These
standards apply to commercial, mixed-use and multi-family developments.
Some limited criteria apply to infill single-family developments.

a. Conceptual Building Plans

 Usage of the roof

Roof spaces may be good locations for open space as they provide
access to sun not always available at lower levels. Provide for greenery
within open spaces.
Opportunities for planting are limited on balconies and roof
gardens, and may be limited even at ground level by underground
structures such as car parks. In these situations, planters need to
allow adequate soil depth and should be provided with drainage and
irrigation. Plants should be chosen that can thrive in the given
conditions, such as on exposed and windy rooftops.

Page 3
 November 26, 2018 [ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING]

Techniques that may be used to highlight primary building

entrances include, but are not limited to, the following: a. Recessed
entry; b. Glazed door; c. Roof line emphasis; d. Windows above entry;
e. Projecting sign above doorway, subject to sign code; f. Canopy,
marquee, or awning above entry; g. Head molding or decorative lintel
above doorway; h. Contrasting, decorative finish materials; i. Street
address posted prominently above or near the building entrance.

 Parking Criteria

Location of Uses.

1. Uses may be located in separate freestanding buildings or may be combined

in

Page 3
 November 26, 2018 [ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING]

multi-use buildings of single-

story or multi-story design.
2. Where residential uses are
mixed with commercial or office
uses, the residential
uses should be located either
above the commercial and/or
office components of a
street frontage building,
located at street level
adjacent to the commercial or
office
uses, or located behind the
commercial or office component
on any floor where
there is a distinct separation
of uses and access, provided
pedestrian connections
are furnished as part of a
unified development theme.
3. Light industrial uses may be
permitted on any floor, but
should not be mixed with

residential uses in the same building.

 Transit Stops

1. Transit stops, if applicable,

should be designed as integral
elements of a mixed-use
development by co-locating them
with pedestrian-oriented
amenities, such as pocket parks,
courtyards, plazas, and in
retail/commercial centers,
whenever possible.
2. When an existing transit stop
is located on a sidewalk adjacent
to the location of a new
development, a shelter for
transit patrons should be
constructed that:

V. SYSTEM DESIGN CRITERIA

LIGHTING

Page 3
 November 26, 2018 [ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING]

1. An exterior lighting plan shall be included with the design review

application pursuant to the requirements of PTMC
2. a. All exterior lighting, including that to illuminate signs, shall be
pointed downward and shielded from direct observation from the air,
adjacent properties, and public rights-of-way. Lighting “spillover” to
adjacent properties shall be minimized. Lamps shall use recessed or flat
lenses. Light fixtures, shall be “full cutoff” fixtures as defined by the
Illuminating Engineering Society of North America.
b. Alternative. If use of fixtures which do not meet the “full cutoff”
definition are proposed, other fixtures may be used if it is determined by
the DSD director that no significant light pollution or trespass will
result and if the maximum initial lumens generated by each fixture does
not exceed 1,500 lumens in total (approximately equivalent to an 18-watt
compact fluorescent or 100-watt incandescent bulb).
3. Lighting in exterior canopies shall be recessed so that the lens does not
drop below the level of the canopy.
4. Exterior light poles shall not exceed a height of 17 feet above grade,
including the base.
5. When lighting is used for security, the use of motion sensors and/or
timers is required.
6. Exterior lighting shall be limited to nighttime business hours only.
Lighting shall be located near the activity needing illumination.
Walkways, entrances, and parking areas may be lit during nighttime
business hours, but such lighting shall be the minimum necessary for
safety. Lighting in parking lots should be of uniform intensity, since the
eye cannot easily adapt to areas of darkness and brightness in proximity
to one another.
7. Buildings shall not be outlined with neon or other lighting, except
seasonal lighting.
8. If, once installed, lighting is found to be performing in violation of
these standards, the city may require the business owner to take
corrective action to bring the lighting into compliance.
9. Lighting shall be maintained to meet these standards at all times.
10. Nighttime lighting of the American flag is exempt from the provisions of
this chapter, except that such lighting shall not provide direct glare to
neighboring properties or traffic.
