Problem Statement

Intends to provide well planned and strategic agency for culture and the arts

Cater the needs of such agency

Cultivate and improve a functional NCCA which will provide the facilities they need to deliver as it implies to their purpose and reflects their purpose

Project GoalProvide and adapt to a facility that an arts commission office can cater and function properly with proper spaces needed and dedicated for such agencyStrategies Research background about the agency Study existing structure and find problematic issues architecturally Learn the needed spaces by their own office preferences Study the required spaces Conduct case studies in the current office Conduct surveys and interviews regarding their agency

FINDING AND ANALYSISSURVEY:

With the survey given to the employees, the researcher found out the more than 52% of the surveyed employees were working at the National Commission for Culture and the Arts greater than 5 years.

Many of them are satisfied with the agency although the facilities that help accommodate their services are not given by the office.

The building space in the office is adequate yet it lacks storage areas for the documents coming in of the office.

The traffic going to the office may be heavy but at the vicinity of the site is not. Their problem from outside environment that affects them is the noise. They have informal settlers in front of their office and they can not do anything about it.

Although many of them said that they are comfortable with the office, they would still want to have their office redevelop and changed due to the lacking facilities and storages.

FINDING AND ANALYSISINTERVIEW WITH MR. EDISON MOLANIDA: National Commission for Culture and the Arts World Heritage Sites Manager

working in the agency for about 6 years

Mr. Molanida was the one who answers the researchers email regarding the study.

National Commission for Culture and the Arts as the sole policy makers of artists, protectors of cultural arts and preservers of the Philippine heritage in the whole country.

Proposal of a NCCA Complex Building for the agency to accommodate the lacking facilities present to their office. Facilities lacking due to the inadequate office space given to them.

They conduct workshops, exhibits, performances and meetings from artists, and committees from all over the Philippines, inviting them over to have a talk but doesnt have enough

The researcher discussed his plan of Adaptive Reuse of the Metropolitan Theater since the Theater reflects what the agency is about and fortunately they too had plans of it.

He then explained that their idea for the future plan is to be relocated at the Metropolitan Theater during the Atienza Administration and apply adaptive reuse to the historic building as to preserve its heritage values. All they have yet is the idea but without formal actions.

They believe they have the funds needed and they are willing to do all necessary actions to pursue the relocation of their office.

The existing National Commission for Culture and the Arts Office building is to be swapped to another government agency when they start to relocate because the building they are using today is only donated.

FINDING AND ANALYSISINTERVIEW WITH CAROLINE MIZAL: Head of the Project Development Office Planning and Policy of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.

She then explained the use of their agency, the departments and population of each.

She gave us a tour to every part of the office. At the ground floor is where the exhibits are held. They help provide local artists with no funds to showcase their art as long as they comply with the requirements of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.

She showed us how insufficient it is due to the many requests and they only approve on what can only fit to their exhibit area. Beside the exhibit area is the only thing that keeps everything in control, the reception area. People go through them first before entering the office proper.

Future plans: to the Metropolitan Theater. She said that the Metropolitan might be too big to become just their office. They are planning on making the other parts for rent and she even suggested to have a lodging area to accommodate the commissioners and guests from other parts of the country. This idea came to them when the office conducted a feasibility study when committees from Visayas and Mindanao area had a hard time looking for a hotel and they thought that providing such facility can provide the commissioners less expenses.

Provide their services at the highest quality and adequate needs that the office can offer. She has been telling us how hard it is to have an insufficient facility because they are having a problem with providing the people the things that they should be able to provide yet they look for other places that can. Having such improvement would make themselves more reliable and more trusted in the field of Arts on policy making and such due to the best services they can deliver to people, an image that artists can look up to.

Analysis of the existingNational Commission for Culture and the Arts Office Building Strengths The symmetrical plan provides efficient access to all spaces. The center provides interaction to the surrounding buildings and commercial spaces. it has central access. Planning is typical; public users will not get lost. Theres a lot of mode of transportation around the vicinity. Privacy of employees and directors properly separated. Attrium at the center of the building gives proper air ventilation for the office. Weaknesses The staffs will be deprived of having a personal space because some spaces are messy in terms of lacking storage areas Not enough walkway for pedestrians from the outside. Vehicles carriageway is also the path walk. Not enough daylight and ventilation Lacks waiting area for the public and doesnt have a lobby in the office The offices does not have pantry. Noise traffic is very susceptible. Lounge is insufficient. Working areas is also lacking in terms of space. The staffs things are all over the place. Opportunities Due to the increasing number of enrolees for dental medicine, the school would benefit from enhancing the development of higher education in the Philippines. Its vicinity is suitable for developing functional spaces that would cater students needs Threats Scarcity of workshop rooms is a problem from time to time. Lacking of theaters Lacking of exhibit areas Storage facility is in need There are blind spots and wasted spaces. The front of the building is informal settlers place Safeties of the users from the alleys they walk through were not paved and they walk with vehicles.

Need Analysis

Passive ventilation and daylight to lessen energy use Plantings as buffer zones for the unpleasant view and would also help absorb noise and heat Providing landscaping and trees as a shading device and lessens the carbon emissions of the office Proper space planning to avoid wasted spaces and blind spots Considering number of public visitors in providing waiting and exhibit areas to prevent scarcity of learning spaces of the office. Provide storage facilities Provide special facilities required for a cultural arts complex and an office building for the agency to be fully effective. Staff lounge is not provided Offices doesnt have their own pantry.Basically, the existing office of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts is not working perfectly with the mandates, objectives and missions of the office. Thus, the building they are using was just donated at the year of 1992. Many architectural needs were not met due to compromising to the donated building.

Conclusions and RecommendationThe National Commission for Culture and the Arts existing office building is working properly as a government agency. But the NCCA is not just an ordinary government agency but a Cultural Arts Government Agency. The existing building is intended for office environment but not for workshops, performances, exhibits and symposiums. Instead, they rent and conduct these acts out of their own office.Pushing through the proposal, it would be able to provide services at the finest quality possible and the expectations and goals the agencys trying to achieve will be done.Thus, the Metropolitan Theatre is a facility that an arts commission office symbolizes perfectly; arts, culture and tradition of Filipinos

Project JustificationNCCA works perfectly as an organized government office but the agency is not just an ordinary office but a cultural and artistic center that conducts and promotes artistic and filipino culture arts and heritage. They lack spaces that would support their mandates, thus the building they are using as their office was only donated and not really intended for their use.

Using Metropolitan Theater as their new office would fit not just their spatial needs but also the character and perspective of people to their agency. Thus, no drastic changes are to be done because somehow the Theaters architectural spaces are the spaces lacking from the NCCAs Office.

Relevance of the ProjectRe-using existing buildings for new functions has many sustainable, cultural, economic, and place making advantages.

The advantage of adaptive reuse can be linked to a memory and cultural value rather than built heritage.

The use of Metropolitan Theater as the NCCA Office has cultural significance and similarities as well as concrete community value to it. Thus, they can help protect and preserve and secure the historical structure.

Site Selection ProcessCriteria for SelectionSite contours The connectivity to the main road and other sub roads The distances from the major landmarks such as: Shopping centres Railway Station Airport Bus stand Schools Church Geological and hydrological structure of the site Accessibility to the siteMajor Landmarks Orientation of the SiteEconomic FeasibilitySustainability FactorsSite ServicesHistoric Importance

Site JustificationEven with the given structure, the Metropolitan Theater, it still meets the criteria of the site selection process.

Also, the historic value of this site suits well for the new office of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts since one of their advocacy is to preserve heritage site and protect them from decay. Using it again, not too far from its original purpose, to serve another purpose is better than leaving it abandoned.

Memory and PlaceVicinityEnvironmental SustainabilityEfficiency

Making the Metropolitan Theater become fully functional, alive, and working not just an old abandoned structure but an office that aims preservation and protection for heritage sites.

There are many features met by applying adaptive reuse to a historical site more over using it as an office of cultural agency where preservation of heritage is one of their main goals. Such structure would be in good hands if it will house an agency that tends to protect is cultural value.

Site Analysis

Site JustificationThe Metropolitan Theater is a national landmark, a heritage site, great historical value, full of culture and tradition and a work of many National Artists from the structure itself to the interior decorations.

The Metropolitan Theaters character , architecturally, suits on what the National Commission for Culture and the Arts agency advocates for. There is no other agency in the Philippines that would deserve to house the national historical site thus it will sure be maintained and protected by the right people.

Met reflects culture and so the objective of NCCA.

Approach on Adaptive Reuse of the Metropolitan Theatrefor the National Commission For Culture andthe Arts Cultural Complex AgencyDE GUZMAN, Jonah Neill Bryan D. | 2010122707

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Architectural ConceptAny written surface that has been erased and used for a new text. (medieval parchments) can be applied metaphorically to recycled architecture.

New economic realities and changing public attitudes towards the national heritage.

Modifies, alters, extends and re-arranges on a built over structure is a kind of palimpsest

PALIMPSESTImplication of the essence of the past while incorporating the present needs of the community.

Preserving character, transforming purpose.

ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTInterior: ViewsThe existing plan of theater is a combination of edges and curves, and this enables the future users to transform a simple view into a different perspective

Structural ConceptShoringPermanent supportStructural alterations. Like adaptation work, no two shoring operations are the same. Each one must be considered on its own merits in terms of duration of use, loading condition, risk of structural failure, and need for protection of people and the environmentRetrofit: Retain and RestoreAll possible structural technology and improve the strength.Engineering Studies of Metropolitan Theater 2006 by Schema Konsult Inc.

Utility ConceptRainwater HarvestingIrrigationHelp avoid, reduce and delay surface water run off which causes immediate flooding

LandscapingEcologicalSoak waysRoof plantingsRehabilitate Vegetations

Engineering Studies of Metropolitan Theater by Schema Konsult:Concept for the electrical, lighting, acoustics, vegetation and the like were provided with detailed plans and has been conducted researches to revive, restore and improve the said needs of the deteriorating structure.
