Interview with Arch. Noel Elnar (Head of the PSC Engineering Section)
The researcher interviewed Arch. Noel Elnar who is responsible for the operating
construction and design planning of the sports complex. Their department aids in
preparation of designs, plans, bidding and specifications of ongoing constructions and
future infrastructure of the Philippine Sports Commission. The interview was conducted to
ask concerns with the training and medical facilities of the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex and to
query specific requirements of the facilities for the proposed study.
Researcher: Do you have concerns regarding with the sports training facilities?
Arch. Elnar: The facilities in the sports complex are now obsolete and some facilities
are under renovation. It been 80 years and now the complex is bygone.
Researcher: What are some problems of the sports complex that may affect the performance
of the athletes?
Arch. Elnar: The common problem that weve encountered in the complex was
flooding. The sports complex was located in a densely populated area and is limited to
approximately 10 hectares of land. The location of the site was surrounded with roads,
which make it vulnerable to pollution that may harm the health of the athletes.
Researcher: Do you wish to have a facility that would cater the medical needs of the
athletes?
Arch. Elnar: We do have Philippine Center for Sports Medicine which aim to promote
medical care to the national athletes but the facility itself was too compact that it cant
cater the numbers of athletes that will be using the amenity.
Researcher: Was it ideal to have the medical facilities located within the sports training
vicinity than those situated in private hospitals?

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Arch. Elnar: Those medical facilities should be located near sports training facilities to
accommodate the immediate needs of the athletes especially those who are billeted
inside the complex. The Philippines Center for Sports Medicine hires medical staffs and
physical therapist in helping the athletes boast their performances.
Interview with Atty. Guillermo B. Iroy Jr. (Executive Director of PSC)
The researcher had a short interview with Atty. Guillermo B. Iroy Jr., Executive Director
of the Philippine Sports Commission, regarding the needs of medical facilities for the the
athletes. Philippines Center for Sports Medicine is a medical arm of the national athletes
that is a unit department under Philippine Sports Commission.
Researcher: Is there a need for a sport medical and therapy center for the national
athletes?
Atty. Iroy Jr.: We have a unit department under the PSC, the Philippine Center for
Sports Medicine that was located inside the vicinity of the sports complex that caters the
medical needs of the national athletes. They have physical training gym and treatment
areas to accommodate the athletes with their physical condition. Though, the medical
facility needs some room for improvement and space because it was too dense to cater
the population of the national athletes and every sports training facilities in the
Philippines dont accommodate these kinds of facilities.
I.4.2 Need Analysis

The Philippine Center for Sports Medicine promotes healthcare facilities to the national
athletes. In order to carry out their goal, a need of medical facilities in every sports
complex and training facility should be established.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
The Philippine Sports Commission encourages establishments of sports training facilities
in order to promote Philippine sports in different parts of the country. Some sports
facilities in the country lack training amenities and medical needs. In order to provide
their needs, the commission is allowing promising and potential athletes in regional and
provincial areas to accommodate the development and medical arm of the athletes.
I.4.3 Qualitative Analysis

The qualitative analysis of Rizal Memorial Sports Complex and Makati Medical Center
based its analysis from the presented profile and conditions of their facilities. This
chapter discusses the analysis on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats
of the facility that was analyzed under the case study method.
SWOT Analysis
Strength
Based upon the observation and interviews conducted, an analysis on the strengths of
Rizal Memorial Sports Complex has been established. The sports complex is located at
the heart of Metro Manila, which caters different sport training facilities, which make it
convenient to the public. It is has three gate entries, strategically controlled vehicle
access and is bounded by roads that make it easily accessible with the design layout of
the site.
The whole complex measures 10 hectares that can accommodate large
number of participants for national and international competitions.
Weakness
Mostly the facilities in the sports complex are obsolete and dont meet the required
international requirements for a standard facility.
Some of the amenities are too
compact to accommodate the number of national athletes in a certain sports category.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
The location of the site is vulnerable to flooding and prone to pollution, which may harm
the athletes. Also, it was bounded with creak to prolong them to make future
expansions. The site lacks environmental nature and buffer areas to separate different
sports facilities. The complex doesnt accommodate enough parking spaces for visitors
and participants and some of the facilities lack maintenance.
Opportunities
The site location creates an opportunity for commercial spaces since the surrounding
area has a large amount of visitors and participants that goes to the venue when theres
a certain sports activities and competitions. With the environment and activities
surrounded the complex, the sports training facilities can provide convenient access to
the public garnering more opportunities to the structures.
Threats
The location of the site is vulnerable to flooding and prone to some environmental issues
like air pollution. Threats may arise from environmental factors in the site that may
cause harm to the health of the athletes.
An Analysis on the Medical Facilities
A Comparison of PMR in Makati Medical Center and PCSM in Rizal Memorial Sports
Complex
The therapy and rehabilitation facilities in the department of Physical Medical and
Rehabilitation in Makati Medical Center was within the vicinity of the private hospital
which provide finest spaces and comfort for the patients and athletes compare to the
therapeutic facility provided by Philippine Center for Sports Medicine in RMSC. The

Garcia, Mayvette S.
therapeutic center in the Rizal Sports Complex was too compact to accommodate the
number of national athletes.
Healthcare of the national athlete is one important factor that the PCSM promotes.
Immediate prevention and assessment of injuries of the athletes should be considered.
The facilities of PCSM in Rizal Sports Complex prevent serious injuries to happen
because the amenity is located within the vicinity of the sports complex compare with
the therapy and rehabilitation facilities situated in private hospitals.
Advantages of Moro Lorenzo Sports Center

The sports center caters both the training and medical facility in one sports vicinity
which provide immediate assessment on the injuries of the athletes. It also provides
better circulation as each facility is zoned according to the needs of the athletes. The
facilities are zoned accordingly in each floor level of the sports center making it more
accessible to the athletes without any obstructions.
Chapter 1.5 Conclusion and Recommendations

This chapter analyze the datas gathered to come up with a conclusion in relation with
the problem statement. This conclusion will guide the researcher to develop
recommendation to develop an appropriate architectural solution for the study.
Based on the findings from the archival research, case study and interview methods, the
following are the conclusions:

Garcia, Mayvette S.
The athletes needed facilities are the indoor center for gymnastics, martial arts
and indoor sports based on the recommendation and priority of the PSC, also
based from the number of national athletes as given in the data gathered.
The athletes also needed a facility that will cater their therapeutic and medical
needs as suggested based on the profiling on the injuries of the athletes.
A centralized fitness and weightlifting gym is needed for the development of the
athletes skills, which mostly need by the athletes.
The structures, playing courts, areas and fields shall anticipate future expansion
since modifications in international standards in sports facilities are often done.
The site should be easily accessible, unexposed to pollution & excessive flooding,
should be sufficient for future expansion.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Part II. Research Focus
In this chapter, the proponent will introduce the emphasis of the study. The depth of
the study will be applied to the proposed title of the study. In this chapter, the core will
state its significance and application to the study.
Chapter 2.1 Rationale

The basis of this study is the insufficiency of providing medical needs for the athletes.
Theraphy centers will provide them the healthcare to vast recovery and development of
their skills. Since some of the sports training facilities in our country doent provide the
needed medical provision in the sports vicinity, proposing a therapeutic facilities that will
cater the development and recovery of injuries of the athletes is the basis of this study.
Innovation and other development will be stated and will further explain which is to
enhance the architectural space needed in creating an impact for further analysis of the
study. The study all aim is to bring back the relevance of the facility in promoting
physical and sports participation of athletes encouraging them to adopt in a healthy
environment through architecture.
Chapter 2.2 Principles and Relevance
This study follows certain architectural principle to have a well-structured design
solution.
This chapter discuss will discuss the necessary design principles and its
significance to some specific areas of the study.
Chapter 2.2.1 Multiphase Design Planning

A well-designed physical environment can maintain and enhance the ability to function
and improve quality of life. The proposed project showcased a healthy environment for

Garcia, Mayvette S.
the athletes as the basis for therapeutic intervention. Understanding the physical and
social effects of architecture on the athletes is an important tool in showing the
progression and development of the athletes in accordance to their skills.
The current concern of sports training facilities calls for an implementation of a

therapeutic facility for the medical needs of the athletes. This study attempts to
investigate the concept of multiphase planning and design in establishing phases
regarding on behavioral analysis of athletes activities in both training and medical works.
The movements of athletes are based on the three phases of their activities based on
the analysis gathered.
Moderation Phase: Injured athletes faces this phase in which there are in treating stage.
Their skills are tended to be lower than when they train because of the fact that they
are wounded. Athletes bodies are coax into its super condition by easing their physical
frame. Designing a well-balanced environment between healthy and physical
environment will promote their positive attitude through healing.
Reversibility Phase: Athletes tend to lose their hard-won fitness gains and usually
disappear faster than they were gained. To regain their physical skills, athletes are
moved to facilities that will gain their sporting skills to track back what they need to.
They need to retrain their bodies to its usual condition so designing a
Specificity Phase: The best way to develop physical fitness for the athletes is to train
their energy systems and muscles as closely as possible to the way they are used in

Garcia, Mayvette S.
their chosen sports. Thus the best way to train is to provide them the adequate facilities
they needed in boasting their athletic skills to help them improve their performance.
Figure 19. Phases
Through an interpretation of this chart, the interactive qualities of multiphase

development will be shown to be the most comprehensive means of insuring the
behavioral activities of the athletes that can be established in analysis of space planning
and zoning.
The complexities of space and functional programming have led the proponent to
seek those innovations on the development of sports training and therapeutic facilities.
The multiphase design concepts of the study are innovative and beneficial for the
efficiency of sports training and medical development. Utilizing multiphase development,
the sports facilities can be directly associated with the medical program requirements of
the sports medicine for the proposed projects. The process is a multiphase planning and
design activity, which establishes development for large-scale sports facility. The phases
will generate both medical science and space functional requirements for facility design,
the sports and healthcare development process is comprehensive in its approach to
problem solving.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Chapter 2.2.2 Mobility Space Design

From the past years, the design quality over sports architecture has becoming dense.
From then on, the focus is solely on function, the emphasis is less on the constructive
dimension than on the organizational one, with regard to spaces for maximum capacity,
for efficiency, mobility, circulation and security.
Freedom of Space
A connection between the different spaces that was categorized between the training
and medical facilities of the sports center is needed in planning a likable circulation. A
linkage from the outdoor and indoor space should be given to achieve an ideal healthy
environment. The spaces and building level of the proposed project is ideal to be design
horizontally, providing future expansion to availability of the site.
Chapter 2.2.3 Biophilic Design
Figure 20. Biophilic Design Principle

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Biophilic Design is an innovative way of designing the places where we live, work, and
learn. In architecture, designing the building doesnt not only involved functionality and
mostly buildings nowadays are pursuing sustainability. The recent trend in green
architecture has decreased the environmental impact of the built environment, but it has
accomplished little in the way of reconnecting us to the nature.
This principle shows that buildings can connect people and nature like how sports
training facilities improve athletes skills and therapeutic facilities that heals their
injuries. Biophilic Design points the way toward creating healthy and productive habitats
for modern humans. It is about humanity's place in nature and the natural world's place
in human society, where mutuality, respect, and enriching relationships can and should
exist at all levels and should emerge as the norm rather than the exception.
The relevance of biophlic design offers a pattern on how buildings need to be build and
design which can be recognize in planning with the therapeutic facility giving off a
positive experience of natural system in the building and constructed landscape into the
athletes health, performance and well-being. The basic concepts of biophilia, its
expression in the built environment, and how biophilic design connects to human
development.
The architecture and benefits of biophilic design practices the implementation on the
strategies in creating buildings that connect people with nature and provide comfortable
and productive places for people, in which they can live, work, and study.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Chapter 2.2.4 Additive Architecture

Additive Architecture is an approach used by Danish architect Jrn Utzon to describe his
development of architectural projects on the basis of growth patterns in nature.
Figure 21. Jeddah Stadium Model by John Urtzon
An urge to create well-being must be fundamental to all architecture if harmony is to
be achieved between the rooms created and what is to be undertaken in them,

--- Jrn Utzon
Jorn Ultzon was convinced that saw it as part of an additive world where both natural
and cultural forms contributed to additive systems and hierarchies. The fundamentality
of additive architecture is about adding and subtracting and ensuring that the
transitions, like the transitions, were organically linked but with visible links that clearly
spoke of distances.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
The need for a sports training and medical facilities should cater complex functional
design with a space that is exceptionally pleasant to spend time working in, and which
has a both clear and basic architectural expression. Especially in the sports training
facility, the need for more buffer and noise barrier can control the noise coming from
different rooms with same clarity but different obstructions.
According to Jorn Ultzon, buildings should be designed more freely rather than in
identical box shapes. In the design of the proposed sports facilities, the natural fondness
in working with its surrounding is the fundamental idea in architecture. When working
with the additive principle, the designs as well as the layout are given the freedom that
can achieve with the additive principle in tackling greatly varying tasks and activities in
accordance to the behavior of the athletes.
Chapter 2.3 Application to the project

Chapter 2.3.1 Application of Multiphase Design Planning
Figure 22. Application of Phases
The application of the multiphase can be applied to the architectural spaces of the
proposed project through planning and zoning. The phases, which was established

Garcia, Mayvette S.
regarding on the behavioral analysis of athletes where interpreted as facilities in both
training and medical aspect.
In accordance through the data that where gathered, athletes in moderation phase
would be interpreted for a therapy center. In this phase, medical and therapy spaces will
be zoned together. As for the reversibility phase, where athletes need to regain their
strength, facilities for fitness and wellness of the athletes will be grouped in this zone
specifically the physical gym. Athletes after regaining their physical strength need to
develop their physical skills; the sports training facilities will be cater in the specificity
phase.
Standard dimension and height

In specificity phase, different sports training facilities are in need to be designed and
planned. Standard size of courts, ceiling height, and standard dimension are should be
followed accordingly.
Light control and ventilation

As for some training facilities, natural ventilation and lighting are needed in order to
adopt with the training activities of the athletes. For the other training facilities, artificial
lighting is more appropriate. Natural lighting may cause glare that can affect the
performance and training of the athletes. Windows are also one of the concerns that
need to be analyzed accordingly. Glass windows are specifically not suitable for some
training facilities causing too much glare.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Figure 5. Horizontal Concept
Chapter 2.3.2 Application of Mobility Space Design

The ability to move from a certain space to another provides easy access to the athletes
to all phases of the sports training vicinity. The zoning of spaces will be flexible arranged
and categorized to accommodate the certain needs of the athletes, physically and
medically.
In designing the whole sports facilities, the potential to move freely and easily is can be
shown by having spacious social and interactive area for the athletes. The mobility of
spaces is can be seen by providing spaces and areas that is capable of having multiple
kind of activities.
Chapter 2.3.3 Application of Biophilic Design

Biophilic design can be applied to the therapeutic facility of the sports training center
which brings out the fondness of nature into the design of the building. Not only to the
outmost appearance but also in design planning of spaces. The connection between the
nature and the human development shows that the surrounding itself brings out the
healing environment for the athletes. The design points out the way to a healthy
environment and productivity of human development.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Figure 23. Design Approach
By having the natural environment in mind, planning the facilities of the sports training
and therapeutic center can became innovative in which athletes can live, learn and
work. Providing greeneries such as gardens can lessen the strain and give off calmness
to the athletes, which somehow can also shows a healthy environment that can help in
the healing process.
Chapter 2.3.4 Application of Additive Architecture

In designing space planning in the proposed project, additive module line will represent
the thickness of the wall and the lines form contours of the finished drawing, meaning
the degree of freedom can be achieve with the additive principle in planning the sports
training center.
The additive approach can be applied in the different building and level of the sports
center, which are basically identical but differ in sizes and height. In planning the design
of the sports facilities, the freely shaped draft of the plan expresses the fundamental
idea of architecture. Minimal components will be applied in order to bring out the
character of the building.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Part III. Site Identification and Analysis

In this chapter, choosing a site for the proposed project will be a very important factor
for the research study to be valid and significant. The proponent must exactly choose
the right site and assessment to be able for the proposed project to be significantly
functional to the users as well as the relative contribution for the surrounding places and
the effects on the larger coverage and consent of the sites allocation.
Chapter 3.1 Site Selection Criteria

Chapter 3.1.1 Macro Site Criteria
Philippines produce leadership and priorities to all national sports promotion and
development. Even though it may not be on top, Philippines is well known for Filipino
athletes imprinting our national seal in different categorize in international sports. As to
further continue providing respectable name for the country, the proposed project will
cater
the
excellent
facilities
in
producing
well-talented
Filipinos
competing
internationally.
Rizal is a province located in the CALABARZON region, just 16 kilometers east of Manila.
The municipality of Rizal is the center of trade and exchange, tourism, government and
economy. It is also a center of education and sports because of the availability of
various educational and physical training facilities. As the proposed project calls for a
sports
training center,
the province of Rizal is generally hilly and mountainous in
terrain, situated in higher place attracting scenic attraction for its view.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Accessibility - is one of the important factors that a site should have. Accessibility does
not only pertain on the distance of the location and the near localities, but the large
coverage of the selected site in relation with the neighboring cities or municipalities.
Strategic Location it is the relative companion of accessibility. It shows the static

importance of the project beyond its significance to the target user. Same for
accessibility, it does not only pertain on the importance of the proposed project but also
to the other neighboring localities that will lead to the main significance of the project.
Size and Land Area - the proposed project will need a large coverage of area. It needs a
large development in terms of land usage and its target users. The size of the land and
its area should sustain the following facilities and development that will be incorporate
to the site or the selected location. It should grow in case of future expansion, which
commonly allotted for other training facilities of the proposed projects. The proponent
should choose the right and effective lot size or land area that would suit to the totality
of the whole project since it will comes into a complex and moreover, in a horizontal
planning and design development.
Chapter 3.1.2 Micro Site Selection Criteria
Land Use- Since the proposal will classify into a sports training center, land use should
be properly considered in selecting the site or location for the proposed project. It
should cater the numerous numbers of the athletes. Allocation of the proposed project

Garcia, Mayvette S.
will affect and impact the norms, culture, and existing condition of the community and
its surrounding. The selected site should bring positive effect like providing a good
development and increase productivity of the locality.
Utility- it comes into different types depending on its importance and its circumferential
effectiveness to the proposed project. This can be categorized into public and private
transportations, water supply, waste treatment system, drainage system, electrical
supply, and other data mapping that will definitely needed in the development of the
proposed project.

Chapter 3.2 Site Evaluation and Analysis

Chapter 3.2.1 Macro Setting
History Background
The City was named after a tree locally known as Tipolo (Artocarpus Incisa), which was
in abundance in the area in the early times. It was converted from a municipality into a
component city of Rizal Province on April 4, 1998, under Republic Act No. 8508. A new
provincial capitol building was inaugurated in the city in March 2009 to replace the old
capitol in Pasig, which has long been outside the jurisdiction of Rizal Province. With the
transfer of the provincial government to Antipolo, it is highly favor to be officially
designated as the new capital of the province. On March 14, 2011, President Benigno
Aquino declared Antipolo a highly-urbanized city.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Geography and Geology

Antipolo is located in the northern half of Rizal
Province, close to its meridional center.
It lies
between latitudes 14 32' and 1445' north and

longitudes 121 6' and 121 24' east. It is bounded
on the north by the municipality of Rodriguez, on the
northwest by the Marikina City and San Mateo, on the
southwest by the towns of Taytay and Cainta, on the
southeast by the towns of Tanay, Teresa and Baras,
and on the east by Quezon Province.
Antipolo city has the second largest land area in Rizal Province next only to Rodriguez.
Its total area of 38,504.44 hectares represents 29.9% of Rizal. Antipolo comprises 16
barangays namely: San Roque, San Jose, San Isidro, De la Paz, Cupang, Mayamot,
Mambugan, Calawis, Dalig, Beverly Hills, Sta. Cruz, San Luis, Inarawan, San Juan,
Bagong Nayon, and Muntindilaw.
Figure 27. Geologic Map of Antipolo, Rizal

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Climate
Based on the PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Service

Administration) or Corona's climate classification system, Antipolo has a Type I Climate,
which is marked by two distinct seasons the wet season from May to December and
the dry season from January to April. The main climatic control operating in the climate
of the area is actually the monsoon wind system. The warm southwest monsoon wind
brings rain to the city after gathering moisture from the Indian Ocean, while the cool
northeast monsoon moves as a dry wind and comes even drier after crossing the Sierra
Madre orographic barrier.
Mineral Sources
The diastrophic folding process that produced the Sierra Madre Mountains has brought
mineral deposits and made the crustal substructure nearer to the surface, making them
easily mineable.
Water Source
Due to its large size and hilly topography, Antipolo possesses a significant number and
variety of water resources like rivers, streams, springs, waterfalls, and groundwater
aquifers. In a relatively water-scarce area, these water bodies provide sources of water
for domestic and industrial uses as well as for irrigation.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Land Use
Figure 28. Land Use Map of Antipolo
The Citys land use was categorized between urban and rural land uses. The urban land
uses (residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, recreational and ecotourism)
accounted for 14% of the total land area where residential use was the predominant
land use in the City. This accounted for the large number of residential developments,
which occupied 4,837.61 hectares representing 12.5% of the Citys total land area. For
commercial uses, these activities were found mostly in the Poblacion in Brgy. San Roque
and in Brgy. Mayamot.

Garcia, Mayvette S.
Infrastructure and Utilities
Road Netwrok - Antipolo City is linked to Metro Manila by three major national roads:
Sumulong Highway, the Marikina-Infanta Road (MIR), and the Ortigas Extension from
the south. All except the MIR lead to the poblacion. The MIR traverses through central
Antipolo and extends further east to Tanay.
Other major roads that link Antipolo with its neighbors are the Provincial Road, which
links Antipolo to Teresa, and M.L. Quezon St., which extends southward to Angono.
Figure 29. Road Networks going to Antipolo
Mode of Transportation- Based on the data from the City Public Utility Vehicle Transport
Regulatory Board, tricycles are the most numerous mode of public transportation with
9,769 or 80% of the entire PUVs in the City. Second is jeepney with 1,744. The number

Garcia, Mayvette S.
of FX/AUVs, PUJs and buses decreased comapared to the previous year. Tricycles
increased by 2.4%. Overall, the public utilities in the city slightly increased by .20% for
the past three years.
Power Services - Antipolo City is generally supplied with electrical power by MERALCO
since the 1930s. All the barangays in Antipolo have electricity.
Water Sources- The water supply system for household consumption of Antipolo comes
from five main sources: Spring Water, Artesian Wells, Open Wells, Water Tankering and
the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS).

Chapter 3.2.2.5 Related Laws and Ordinances

This study referred to the National Building Code of the Philippines and the approved
ordinances of the municipality of Antipolo, Rizal.
Chapter 3.2.2.6 Site Potential and Computation
Total Land Area (TLA) = 43, 575 m2

o
Allowable Maximum Building Footprint (AMBF)
The allowable maximum building footprint is the difference of the total lot area and the
total open space within the lot.
AMBF = TLA - TOSL = 43, 575 m2 - 34, 861 m2 = 8, 714 m2
o
Maximum Allowable Percentage of Site Occupancy (PSO)

Garcia, Mayvette S.
According to table VIII.1. of the building code of the Philippines 2004, The percentage
of Site Occupancy of a site without fire wall is 70% of the lots total area.
PSO = AMBF / TLA = 8, 714 m2 / 43, 575 m2 = 20% of TLA (8, 715 m2)
o
Maximum Allowable Impervious Surface Area (ISA)
The maximum allowable impervious surface area with no fire wall is 15% of the total lot
area. ISA = 30% of TLA = 43, 575 x .30 = 13, 073.5 m2
o
Unpaved Surface Area (USA)
The Unpaved surface area with no fire wall is 15% of the total lot area.
USA = 50% of TLA = 43, 575 x .50 = 21. 787.5 m2
o
Maximum Allowable Construction Area (MACA)
MACA = PSO + ISA = 8, 715 m2 + 13, 073.5 m2 = 21, 788.55 m2

o
Total Open Space within Lot (TOSL)
The total open space within lot is the sum of the maximum impervious surface area and
unpaved surface area.
TOSL = ISA + USA = 13, 073.5 m2 + 21. 787.5 m2 = 34, 861 m2
