A. PLANNING PARAMETER

I. Statement of the Problem

The problem to be addressed is the need to relocate and provide the 1,160

projected population of the informal settler families from Hagonoy, Bulacan with

housing and other supporting facilities to give them decent lifestyle, security of

tenure and shelter against hazards. These families are threatened with the

dangers of annual storm surges and flooding. Also, the emerging effects of

climate change requires an immediate adaptive solution for the survival of

humanity.

1. Project Requirement

The project Proposed Development of a Sustainable Socialized Housing

Community for the Urban Poor from Hagonoy, Bulacan requires the following:

1.1 Area of Development

The minimum area to provide the beneficiaries with sufficient quantity of housing

units is 6.17 Ha. To satisfy the efficiency of the site, the ratio of the saleable to

non-saleable shall be 60:40. Therefore, the area of development shall be aminimum of 10.28 Ha.

1.2 Major Beneficiaries

The study will benefit the following stakeholders situated in Region III Central

Luzon:

Fisher folks and other Informal Settler Families

The fisher folks are usually considered informal settlers because of their

residence in the easement/ salvage zones, non-municipal waters and usually

the foreshore area. The proposed resettlement area will provide alternative

livelihood and post-harvest facilities and must be able to adapt to the

urbanizing environment.

Coastal Zone

The coastal zone is a multifunction area. Thus, these uses include buildings

and infrastructures. The coastal zone plays an important role in both land

and water ecosystems, making it the most vulnerable to be dominated by


2/41

man. It should be used to its maximum and be able to sustain itself for the

future generations.

Local Government Unit

It will help the Local Government Unit goal in minimizing number ofcasualties and to lessen the damages during calamities.

1.3 Vision of the Region

The following are the vision and mission of the Provincial Government of Bulacan

that responds to the development of the project:

Vision

"A premier province with a vibrant economy, safe environment, and strong middle

class as the core of the citizenry where the people have equal access to

opportunities and services and are living models of its historical heritage and cultural

excellence."

Mission

The promotion of positive Filipino values among the families;

Programs on sustainable development;

The efficient delivery of health and social services;

The protection and management of environment;

Programs for reducing disaster risks and increasing adaptive capacity to

climate change;

Programs aimed at food security;

The strengthening of the micro small-medium enterprises

1.4 Major Design Requirements

The project proposal objects to provide the resettling population with a master

plan for a sustainable community which includes the following:

Medium Rise Building (Residential Units)

Neighborhood/ Multi-purpose Hall

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


4/41

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 clients 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.


5/41

II. Formulation of Goals and Objectives

1. Goals

To develop a high performance structure energy efficient and will optimize

the resourceswith 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 that 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 design a community that will provide the needs of the users.

To design a community that will enhance the connection of the user and

the environment.

To design a community where can people live, learn and interact.

3. Design Philosophy

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

Organic Ecological


6/41

of the system using them, the nature of the life concerned and the purpose of the

building itself."

Frank Lloyd Wright

There are three basic tenets of the philosophy of Organic Architecture as Wright

practiced it:

Nature of the Site

The Nature 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 Clientscan 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 familys activities and hopeful ly

elevate their daily living into art.

Nature of Materials

The Nature of 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 withall of these, the structure will join the site rather than destroying it.


7/41

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 Conceptual Development

System of Nature: Biophilia Hypothesis

The Biophilia Hypothesis describes the innate biological affinity human have to

nature. This concept goes beyond mere sustainability.

Architecture should directly respond to its 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; thecollective 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 thatlacks apparent movement on direction. By using dimensional transformation,


8/41

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 settlerfamilies 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 Publicto 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.


9/41

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 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. Thecool 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


10/41

and clarity of forms and elimination of unnecessary detail and the visual expression

of structure.

IV. 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 theexisting 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.


14/41

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.


15/41

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 is employed.

5. Audibility (Noise Level)

Noise means any unwanted sound. Noise is not necessarily random. Sounds thatdisturb people or make it difficult to hear wanted sounds are noise. Acoustic noise


16/41

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 of noise reduction. The I-shapedform 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. Faade/ Focal Point


17/41

Faade 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 faade 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 buildings in the site was installed with 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.


18/41

Then considering the noise as stated, the corridor type was transformed into an L-

type 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 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 firecode of the Philippines. The maximum distance from any point to any exits shall not


19/41

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 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.


20/41

VI. Method of Construction

Post and Lintel

The structure utilizes a post and lintel construction method. Post-and-lintel

system, inbuildingconstruction, 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 its 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 when building in areas where wind is a factor. And while its

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 evernecessary, the raw materials are right there in the buildings own backyard.

VIII. Material Specification

The materials utilized enhances the interpretation of the style and character. The

materials are applied in the following:

Posts, Walls, Floorsare 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.

RoofsGI 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.

Fenestrationopenings are employed with different kinds of window depending on
