 Project Overview
The proposed airport project will serve as the new
economic gateway to Batangas Province. The need for another
transportation is very relevant in the region because the demand
of passengers and cargos are increasing every year. It will also
offer great accessibility and circulation for passengers.
The airport project will give people a new breath of
transportation system where sustainability is considered, and the
connectivity of its users to the natural environment through
Biophilic Design. This will give Batangas a new look and new
identity in terms of transportation and service to people.

Major and Minor Concepts
 Taal Volcano
Taal Volcano is regarded as the world’s
smallest active volcano. It has the
unusual distinction of being the world’s
only volcano within a lake. The largest
lake is inside a large volcano caldera that
was produced hundreds of years ago by a
catastrophic eruption by a super volcano
that was thousands of times larger than
Krakatua.

coffee varietal grown in the Philippines,
particularly in the provinces of Batangas
and Cavite. Barako means “stud” and is

WHAT ARE THE FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED TO BE ABLE
TO CREATE A WELCOMING AND ACCOMMODATING
AIRPORT?
• All facilities and utilities should be properly installed in
accordance with the general practices and existing laws.
• The design of all airport structures offers great opportunity to
cultural authenticity. Thus, it creates identity of the place in
relation to the architectural concepts of the proponent.
• The benefits from airside and landside projects can be
summarized into: reduction of travel, access and waiting time;
improvements in service reliability and predictability; reduction
in operating costs and increases in traffic.

WHAT ARE THE FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE
PROJECT TO BE FEASIBLE AS ANOTHER GATEWAY TO THE
PHILIPPINES?

• Architectural, Building/Structures utilities and maintenance must

relate to complexity and advanced technology.
• Good architectural programming and site analysis must be given
priority.
• Basic planning criteria in development of passenger terminals
include: easy orientation, simplicity, minimize walking distances,
minimize level changes, minimize passenger cross-flows,
compatibility of facilities with aircraft characteristics, and, built-
in flexibility to accommodate future changes in dynamic industry.
• All construction materials considered to use in the construction of
the building are subjected to environmental review.

WHAT ARE THE ARCHITECTURAL TRENDS OR
TECHNOLOGIES THAT WILL BE OF HELP IN MAKING
THE AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING SUSTAINABLE?

• The use and application of the following: seismic base

isolation system for the earthquake, the application of
Biophilic Design, the use of dynamic and smart glass to
prevent heat from going inside the building, the use of space
frame system, the use of solar panels and the living wall
system inside the terminal building.
