TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR DESIGN 10 STUDENTS (ADA 520)

Ar. M. Fontanilla, Ar. Gonzales, Ar. Sta. Juana

I. BACKGROUND
Architectural Design 10 is the application of the total design process on
architectural design development which refers to spatial translation, form/concept
translation, functional concept, economic concept translation, and environmental
systems applications. At the end of the course, the architecture students are expected
to:

A. Learn the importance of research in Architecture.

B. Discover new aspects of architectural planning, technology, and research.
C. Solve complex problems based on their selected research focus.
D. Justify and defend their architectural thesis.

Architectural Design 10 is the synthesis of all the architectural research and

creative design analysis in Architectural Design 9. It is the graphical solution of the
studies made, including the final deliberation of the thesis.

II. SCOPE OF WORK

A. Consultation meetings with the advisor
B. Presentation of preliminary drawings for approval
C. Documentation to graphical presentations of the final solutions
D. Deliberation of the final solutions before a jury.

III. EXPECTED OUTPUT

A. Minimum Drawing Requirements (use 30”x40” (A0) paper)
1. Concept Board
2. Site Development Plan Scale 1:200 M
3. Floor Plan of one Major Building Scale 1:100 M
4. 4 Elevations Scale 1:100 M
5. 2 Sections Scale 1:100 M
6. 2 Exterior Perspective (point of focus will be determined by the adviser)
a.) 2-point man eye’s view for major building
b.) Aerial perspective
7. Architectural Interior Perspective/s of a major space in the building to be
determined by the adviser
8. Architectural Bay Section Scale 1:50 M
- Details (minimum of six (6) architectural spot details), or sectional
perspective.
9. Structural Concept (Isometric Drawing scale to be determined by the advisor,
- Structural details, minimum of six (6) structural spot details.
10. Environmental Systems Board (optional)

2
 B. Drawing Presentations
1. Manner of Presentation
a. Multimedia Presentation (Oral) - It is required that a student use
multimedia presentation in the oral presentation of his thesis. He must
see to it that all equipment and software for use in his presentation are
set up and operational before he is to present his thesis.

b. Board Presentation
b.1 Manual – use 30”x40” (A0) white paper.
b.2 CAD Presentation - For students who chose to have their final
presentation in CAD should submit the complete schematic drawings
(study sketches) from design conceptualization to perspective (3D)
showing architectural character on or before the Prelim Exam Week.
Students who do not comply will automatically present their drawing
solutions in manual drafting/rendering. All drawings should be
presented on 30" x 40" (A0) white paper (mounted on a black illustration
board, covered with clear plastic).

2. Medium of Presentation
a. Drawings may be presented in any medium or mixed mode. Floor plans
may be presented in black and white to show all pertinent requirements
in the floor plan elements (doors, windows, walls, furniture layout,
structural elements, etc.) Should the student choose to present floor
plans in color, the presentation should not distract the viewer's eyes.

b. Scale model is required.

b.1 Proposal with 2-3 buildings - The advisor will determine which
building shall be presented through a miniature model.
b.2 Urban Design Proposal – The advisor will determine the minimum
coverage area to be presented in miniature model. He is no longer
required to present the Site Development Plan, provided all pertinent site
data are included in the scale model.

c. Consistency of presentation style, drawn or oral, is encouraged.

IV. FINAL ENDORSEMENT

The student must submit the completed boards a week before the scheduled day
of deliberation before he can be issued the Certificate of Final Endorsement which
bears the signature of the College Dean.

V. DRAWING OF LOTS
The candidates, having been approved for final endorsement, shall draw lots
before the scheduled day of deliberation to determine the time and room/venue of his
presentation and defense.

3
VI. DELIBERATION

A. Schedule and Appearance

1. On the scheduled day of deliberation, the candidate must be physically
present in the designated venue. He must report to the Thesis Advisor an
hour earlier than the first candidate's scheduled presentation.
2. If the candidate fails to appear without a valid reason or notification, he will
no longer be allowed to present and defend his thesis. He will automatically
be given a 5.0 (Fail) as the final grade for Design 10.

3. If the candidate fails to appear, but with a valid reason (Physically ill or
family emergency) and notification, he must send through a representative
all his completed thesis work (boards and book). These materials will be
endorsed to the Dean for possible rescheduling of deliberation.

Failure to comply will be given a 5.0 (Fail) grade.

B. Guidelines
1. Attire - The candidate should be in proper business attire during the thesis
deliberation. It is strongly recommended that male candidates wear black
pants and a jacket, with light colored polo, dark tie, and black shoes; female
candidates are to wear a black medium-length skirt and blazer, matching
light-colored blouse, and with hair neatly pony-tailed. Stockings are
optional.

2. Document Requirements - The candidate should present the following to

the Jury:
b.1 Ring-bound copy of the Executive Summary, three (3) copies
The Executive Summary contains the following:
Thesis Title
Background of the Project
Project Goals and Objectives
Summary of Site Description
Design Concept, Philosophy, Objectives, Considerations
Design Solutions (Final Design reduced in scale, short bond paper)

b.2 Hardbound copy of the Thesis Book, two (2) copies, which contains all
the outputs and the following:
Approved (Signed) Letter of Proposal
Chapter(s) 1 to 8.

Note: The Thesis Book (which is the output of Architectural Design 9) should be
used as the basis for design development in Architectural Design 10. The
jury may refer to and review the Thesis Book during the deliberations to
check proper applications to the design solutions. Any conflicting
information between the Thesis Book and the Final Solutions of the project
as reflected on the Final Thesis Boards may cause the candidate to fail in
the defense of his Thesis.

4
3. Recording of Proceedings
The candidate may record the proceedings using audio/video equipment.

4. Time
Each candidate is given forty (40) minutes to present and defend his
Thesis:
20 minutes - oral and visual presentation
20 minutes - defense/question and answer
The jury is given ten (10) minutes to deliberate on the Final Jury Grade.

5. Policies
a. The deliberation is open to the public. Students, relatives, and guests
may be invited to attend and witness the proceedings.
b. The candidate must maintain his composure during the deliberation even
when
confronted with difficult questions or when challenged by the members
of the jury on details of the project. He should not have an antagonistic
attitude before, during, and after the deliberation.
c. The candidate must not be questioned on the financial viability of the
project. However, he may be asked questions on the socioeconomic
and environmental impact that the project may bear on its development,
to the immediate community/vicinity, or on the wider context (provincial,
regional, or even national level).
d. The jury may review the Thesis Book for completeness.
e. The jury may ask questions that it deems relevant to the Thesis Project.
The candidate is responsible for the correctness of his answers within
the scope of the project.
f. During the grade deliberation of the jury, the thesis candidate, along with
all the members of the audience, must leave the room to allow the jury to
