B. ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING I. Design Process
1. Methodology The following are the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to the architectural research.
1.1 Literature Search This is gathering of data from architectural design or researched studies that are already been done. This is achieved thru reading and scanning applicable data in the following tools: Book Search
The researcher examined the books from the library that are related to solve the design project. Past thesis proposals that are associated with the topic also became reference for the project. Journal Search
Professional journals or magazines that deals with the particular building types are considered in developing the task required. Computer Search
The internet provides vast information about the project. Significant topics are scanned and scrutinized to assist the enhancement of the design. Amongst the tools for literature search, the aid of the computer is the most utilized by the researcher.
1.2 Observation
These are noticing and recording of facts and events pertinent to the design. This is used for acquiring and understanding about a design project. Activities include site visits, visit to the client’s client ’s work, social environment and home environment. Information are attained through the following types of observation: Casual Observation This is the method getting the big picture in a naturalistic observation,
discovering the history of the place, group of activity, discovering questions and gathering of data. Systematic Observation
This is a more focused way of looking at a setting or site. It is the way of investigating for answer of a particular question. This is where the counting begins, it draws more than general reaction but a conclusion in which production may be based. Statistical Observation The researchers undertake the method of counting things in a very
rigorous manner to argue for a precision beyond reasonable doubt. Statistical probabilities are used to create reliable prediction about the response to a design.
1.3 Interviews It ranges from casual, fact finding, conversation for a systematically finding the answer to statistically rigorous interview of a number of people. Interviews are easy to conduct for gaining useful design information. 1.4 Photo Documentation Photographs are good for embellishing the program with images of the project to set the stage. The other uses of photographs in the program document are to show the need for a particular facility, to show how a proposed new concept works within other places and to show alternative ways of approaching the design problem. Photos of the site are included in the book to present the real view of the site.
II. Formulation of Goals and Objectives
1. Goals To develop a high performance structure – – energy energy efficient and will optimize the resources – resources – with with an extended life cycle and a design that is appropriate to the changing climate to withstand the rigors of the Philippines' typhoons and consequent flooding. And to produce a design tthat hat not only incorporates sustainable engineering, but expands our dependence on nature beyond mere sustenance to include aesthetic, intellectual, and spiritual meaning. 2. Objectives To design an adaptive structure that will protect users from natural
calamities. To des design ign a c community ommunity that will provide the n needs eeds of the users.
To design a community that will enhance the connection of the u user ser and the environment.
To des design ign a c community ommunity where can p people eople live, learn and interact.
3. Design Philosophy
Organic
Ecological
Organic Architecture "The solution of every problem is contained within itself. Its plan, form and character are determined by the nature of the site, the nature of the materials used, the nature
of the system using them, the nature of the life concerned and the purpose of the building itself." – –Frank Frank Lloyd Wright There are three basic tenets of the philosophy of Organic Architecture as Wright practiced it: Nature of the Site The “ N Nature ature of the Site ” means respect and response to the landscape. It may translate as respecting local traditions and designing a building that uses local materials. It may also mean a structure that frames landscape views or takes advantage of unusual site elements. Needs of the Clients “
”
The Needs of the Clients can be interpreted in the most practical terms: how much room does the family need, or where do they like to gather. However, Wright also considered how the structure could enhance the family’s activities and hopeful ly elevate their daily living into art. Nature of Materials The “Nature “Nature of Materials” Materials” extends beyond the use of local materials to include the respect for the materials themselves. Let the materials reveal its natural beauty. Organic Architecture is a philosophy which enhances connection between human and nature. It is a philosophy that honors true patterns of nature and culture, pays close attention to sustainability and respects us, as human, in a natural world. This philosophy shows that beautiful structures could elevate the lives of the people, leading each person to fulfill his or her potential. Ecological The Site is the Solution Understanding the site is the key for sustainable design. This includes the method of construction, materials and the existing system of the site. By design in harmony with all of these, the structure will join the site rather than destroying it.
Nature is our Inspiration By creating a place which complements the environment, other systems will begin to regenerate. Understanding our place with nature, allows us to better observe our impact. Nature inspires our work and informs our actions. Work with Nature As our surroundings come back to life, so do us. Sustainable design works with the processes of nature. 4. Design Concept 4.1 Design C Conceptual onceptual De Development velopment System of Nature: Biophilia Hypothesis Hypothesis The Biophilia Hypothesis describes the innate biological affinity human have to nature. This concept goes beyond mere sustainability. Architecture should directly respond to iits ts environment by enhancing the connection between human and nature. Inspired by the form and growth of bamboo that gain its strength through a unified root system that support a bundle of green shoots; the collective strength of the bamboo allows the forest to grow to extraordinary heights. The structure is inspired with the capabilities of bamboo to withstand typhoons as it is design to extended life cycle of the residential dwelling resulting from an excellent physical structure and the social support system offered by a well-planned neighborhood development which will not only provide shelter from the elements, ensuring the safety of its residents; it will also give them a sense of security and hope that life can proceed unhindered by the onslaught of natural calamities. 4.2 Form Concept Rectangular Mass In an architectural discussion the accepted definition of form deals with shape and when the figure is three dimensional, it becomes mass. The square is one of the most structurally stable geometric shapes. It represents the pure and the national. However, because of the equality of its dimensions, the cube is a static form that lacks apparent movement on direction. By using dimensional transformation,
considering proportion, we can turn a square into its variation, the rectangle and serve as primary form of the units. Simple rectangular shapes are building configuration response well to earthquakes. They can distribute force more evenly. 4.3 Elevation Concept Tensegrity The triangle is one of the most structurally stable geometric shapes. It signifies stability when resting on one of its sides, the triangle is an extremely stable figure. When tipped to stand on one of its vertices, however, it can either be balanced in a precarious state of equilibrium or be unstable and tend to fall over onto one of its sides. The figure is applied to function as bracing or support to the main form of the building.
4.4 Site Concept 5. General Objectives The project aims to relieve the 1,160 projected population of the informal settler families in the municipality of Hagonoy, Bulacan being threatened of perennial damages brought by calamities aggravated by climate change. Their relocation to the proposed project will lessen the obstruction of waterways in riverbanks and seashores and help discharge rainwater.
The proposal intends to benefit the following: Informal Settlers – – to provide a decent housing that will protect them from
calamities. Local Government – – to provide housing needs and to minimize number of
casualties and to lessen the damages during calamities. General Public – Public – to to improve the image of the community.
6. Design Objectives The design objectives in terms of planning and design set the guidelines on generating the building envelope of the project in which the proponents endeavors.
6.1 Expansion The project will employ vertical expansion since the chosen site is quite limited in terms of area. In this development, the site will be utilized into its full potential efficiency by building support community facilities while maintaining the 60-40 efficiency ratio, thus providing open spaces, parks and playgrounds. 6.2 Expression Personality of character in the building can be attained by the ingenious application of masses, lines and color treatment. The building comprises of masses adorned to reduce the visual weight of the structure. Horizontal lines are applied to suggest repose, stability, comfort, and widening effect. Vertical lines are also used to fortify the structure with its strength, vitality, and dignity. Neutral colors are used to imply inconspicuousness inconspicuousnes s and rest. 6.3 Character The character of the building is derived from its function or the use of the building. The elements which comprise the building, its informal intimacy, the ingenious application of masses, lines and color treatment suggest a residential character. The cool colors applied create a homey feel which is suitable for its function. 6.4 Hierarchy Various buildings will arise on the site but they differ from each other by means of their functional, formal and symbolic role in the organization. Creating a degree of importance in the organization avoids the monotony of the design. Thus, it is important to emphasize the most important building of the project, namely the medium rise buildings. The approach to highlight the hierarchy of the medium rise buildings is by using its quantity amongst the structure therein. Also, its visual access due to its height signifies its dominance. 6.5 Style
Contemporary architecture which refers to modern regulates the overall design. Some of the basic principle of this style is its simplicity in form and design, simplicity
and clarity of forms and elimination of unnecessary detail and the visual expression of structure. III. User Study 1. Identification of Users 2. Range of Behavior 3. Roles and Rules 4. Behavioral Pattern 5. Space Consequence 6. Space Computation

Site Planning Consideration
Locating any building in the site requires careful consideration of the context so that the building fits functionally, visually and environmentally. It needs considering the existing site location and context, its surroundings, views in and out, access and connectivity, microclimate and building setting. Detailed site organization is insufficient unless the broader context is evaluated. Site planning is therefore all about ensuring that the building becomes an integral part of the site, is unified with it and responds to the spirit of place. 1. Site Layout The arrangement of the buildings in the site is a combination of two of the three types of site layout. First, a curve layout is applied to avoid acute angled spaces that will be considered as waste of space and also to allow easy vehicular circulation around the site vicinity. Also, a cluster layout is employed to organize the buildings into their specific zones. The cluster consists of forms that are grouped together by proximity or the sharing of a common visual trait. A clustered organization is flexible enough to incorporate forms of various shapes, sizes, and orientations into its structure.
2. Zoning of Activities The major design requirements are organized considering the adjacency, similarity in general rule, required environments, and relative proximity to building. The zones are classified as residential, commercial, services and open spaces. The zoning of activities helps to promote a sense of direction. The residential zone should be peaceful for the residents of the building. Thus, the residential zone is located away from the entrance which is the chief source of noise. The setback from the property line that are planted with trees and plants serves as buffer from outside noises.
3. Orientation The building's orientation and distance from each other allows each unit to receive ample daylighting and natural ventilation. The medium rise buildings are located on the inner part of the site to establish a division from the other zones that generate great noise. The other zones, aside from the buffer zone itself, serve as buffer from noise.
4. Approaches There are three approaches into the site, namely the vehicular, pedestrian and the service approach. These three approaches enter the site through the main entrance. Though vehicles from the customer and services going to the commercial center can access it directly, the main entrance serves as primary means of entry by the three approaches. To control the traffic flow, a “rotunda “rotunda”” is employed.
5. Audibility (Noise Level)
Noise means any unwanted sound. Noise is not necessarily random. Sounds that disturb people or make it difficult to hear wanted sounds are noise. Acoustic noise
can be anything from quiet but annoying to loud and harmful. Reduction of noise is necessary for the building since its function as a residential dwelling is to be conducive for rest and relaxation.
Certain forms are advantageous in terms t erms of noise reduction. The “I-shaped “I-shaped”” form is considered to be the best form in avoiding noise since the noise production is directed outwards. However, its linear form can consume a bigger amount of space in the site. The L- shaped plan is also a good form in considering the noise reduction. Its configuration will take full advantage of the space of the site since it is comprised by the major spaces and also incorporates with the open spaces. 6. Site Distribution The efficiency ratio of the project is 60- 40. It means that 60 percent of the site area should be considered as saleable and the rest of the site, which is 40 percent, is allocated for open spaces such as roads, playgrounds and parks which are considered as non-saleable. 7. Façade/ Focal Point
Façade is the face or front of the building, however, facades can be multiple determined by the number of vista points. Since the site has several vista points, facades are applied on every side of the buildings. The bamboo skin serves as double façade for the building which also serve as element for resisting forces, controlling water and air penetration and vapor transmission, insulation and admission of daylight and vision. The focal point is situated adjacent to the main entrance of the site, it serves as the rotunda that controls the flow of approaches. 8. Site Adaptive Plan The layout chosen to implement, a cluster layout, minimizes the use of roads. With this, rainwater infiltrates into the soil and flood amounts can be eluded, if not, diminished. Also, most of the building buildings s in the site was installed w with ith a rainwater harvester. During rainy season, rainwater is collected in large storage tanks which helps in reducing floods in the site. Apart from this, it also helps in reducing soil erosion and contamination of surface water. Catch basins are also built to catch rainwater from the site.
V. Design Consideration The design considerations are intended as a design guideline and a planning tool in designing the structure itself. 1. Layout Type The layout type applied in the building design is the corridor type plan. It is derived from the repetition of a single unit in a linear manner.
Then considering the noise as stated, the corridor type was transformed into an Ltype layout. The living units are accessible through the corridor which also serves as their emergency passage into the exits. The type of plan chosen promotes an easy sense of direction. Its horizontal form also stimulates a tranquil environment which is suitable for a residential dwelling. The passageway also serves as an extra sun shade for the living units and extra protection from rain during storm surges. The layout considered anthropometrics on building space. Average space for an individual is computed together with the areas of the furniture then additional space for circulation is included. 2. Building Distribution The efficiency ratio for a building is 70-30. This T his indicates that 70 percent of the space within the building is saleable which includes the living units itself. The other 30 percent of the building area is non saleable and functions as open space such as the corridor and the stairs which serves the living units as its access and emergency exit. 3. Natural Ventilation
Passive cooling techniques are encouraged in the structure. Windows and openings should be tactically oriented to wind paths to allow air circulation inside the living units. However, rains brought by these winds during storm surges should be lessened by providing louvers. This also allows light to be diffused as it enter the living units making it well lighted. Stack effect will be controlled by providing exit points for hot air to leave the building.
4. Fire Safety
The arrangement of the spaces in the building considers fire provisions of the fire code of the Philippines. The maximum distance from any point to any exits shall not
exceed 45 meters. This would allow any occupant to exit the building/ floor at ease during fire situations. The width of the stairs is also a factor to be considered, a 2m stair can accommodate 60 persons per minute. Since the occupants per floor do not exceed 60 persons, a 1m stair is provided in the building. 5. Building Utilities The building to be habitable should be useful and function well for the people using it. In order to function well, utilities are installed in the building to serve the users. This includes power and water. 4.1 Power – – The buildings in the site are powered by means of an underground distribution system which means that the wire used to distribute electricity within the site is under the ground. It is safer than the overhead distribution system since there isn't any potential for accident because the wires fall under the ground. It can be impossible to meet the wires in the event of underground distribution systems since the wires go below the soil. Poles are never required in the event of underground distribution systems which make the systems cost-effective at the same time. 4.2 Water Supply – Since – Since the building is four story high, water tanks for the water supply are strategically located on the roof deck. This will apply a down feed distribution throughout the building. Down-feed distribution involves the pumping of water to upper level storage tanks which gravity feed to plumbing fixtures. The water tank capacity to serve the medium rise buildings are 4- 960 gallon water tank.
6. Adaptive Design The flood susceptibility of the site is classified as low to moderate. This means that the site experiences flooding of less than 1m in height. These are usually inundated during prolonged and extensive heavy rainfall or extreme weather condition. To adapt into this condition, the ground story is not used for living purposes but for car parking, trash bins and bicycle storage. The users can also utilize the space to build business area such as stores.
VI. Method of Construction
Post and Lintel
The structure utilizes a post and lintel construction method. Post-and-lintel system, in building construction, is a system in which two upright members, the posts, hold up a third member, the lintel, laid horizontally across their top surfaces. Its simple design supports a large amount of weight, thus allowing buildings to rise higher than one story and broadening doorways and windows. One of its advantages is it’s the simplest of the structural systems. It allows the building to stand by itself without depending on floors and walls to resist deformation. It also helps to establish a rhythm and a modulation and it has good respond to earthquakes due to its stability. Its drawback is that a post-and-lintel construction has limited weight that can be held up, and small distances required between the posts.
VII. Structural Concept
“Bamboo Architecture” One of the main focuses of the design is to minimize the damage caused by the powerful tropical winds that sweep across the eastern part of the archipelago. In Asia, bamboo has long been known as an elastic material and is often chosen over wood or even steel st eel when building in areas where wind is a factor. And while it’s possible that some of the bamboo culms will be overcome by the wind, in most cases, replacing them is much easier than it would be for wood or steel. It also helps immensely that the green plant is indigenous in Hagonoy. So if rebuilding is ever necessary, the raw materials are right there in the building’s own backyard. backyard.
VIII. Material Specification
The materials utilized enhances the interpretation of the style and character. The materials are applied in the following: Posts, Walls, Floors – Floors – are are built with reinforced concrete to ensure the stability of the building. These materials are known for the strength it can guarantee the building. It assures security to the user not only during typhoons but during normal days as well. Roofs – Roofs – GI GI sheet rib type roofing type is used to cover and protect the building from rain and direct sunlight. The roof type complement the character of the building being a residential dwelling. Fenestration – Fenestration – openings openings are employed with different kinds of window depending on the location. Jalousie and bamboo made sliding window are used. Bamboo window storm shutters serves as protection from formidable winds brought by typhoons. Façade – Façade –plastered plastered concrete walls comprises the façade of the building. The bamboo skin serves as double façade for the building which also serve as element for resisting forces, controlling water and air penetration and vapor transmission, insulation and admission of daylight and vision.
