Case Problem # 1: “A City Hall”

Submission Date: December 18, 2020

The City of Mandaluyong has decided to redevelop City Hall complex as a center of
character emulating what the city stands for. The LGU administrative officers realize
that the current character and design of the city hall complex does not emulate
sustainability and is not the ideal manifestation of Mandaluyong as a center of
development and growth. Your focus shall be a sustainable character of the complex
so that each department will have its own phase of the redevelopment with no
displacement in the current dispensing of services for the residents. The architecture
shall also manifest a community based architecture where residents have strong
affinity with building character and history. Also, the circular nature of the site must be
maximized since this is an important character of the development. Vehicular
circulation shall be maintained and managed via proper location of the ingress and
egress from the complex.
