A. THE PROJECT
Since San Rafael, Bulacan open up new roads that will hasten economic, agricultural, industrial and
tourism development projects within the city itself has been made and or proposed to further the
progress development of the city. The world’s tourists are growing in number with the Philippines
getting more from the international market each year. The trend in the region is also positive with more
domestic tourists visiting the region. Bulk of the tourists go to and stay in the provinces of Zambales
and Pampanga. For areas within the influence of the two provinces, this means opportunities to provide
for the goods, services and attractions that are required by and that appeal to tourists. In the case of
Bulacan, local and foreign tourists are expected to spike upwards with the completion of the Philippine
Arena.

impacts across all arts sectors. Across the world and to varying degrees, cinemas and movie theaters
have been closed, festivals have been cancelled or postponed, and film releases have been moved to
future dates or delayed indefinitely.
This Project aims to provide a filming studio through a bubble concept facility with exclusively
accommodation not just for the production company but also for the international and domestic tourist
going to San Rafael, Bulacan. The entertainment and parks will add to the tourist destination in San
Rafael.

The Municipality of San Rafael is a first class municipality and one of the 21 municipalities and three cities
that compose the Province of Bulacan. It is the sixth municipality in the third Legislative District together
with Angat, Dona Remedios Trinidad, Norzagaray, San Miguel and San Ildefonso. The municipality is
found in the midwestern section of Bulacan nestled between the foot of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range
and the eastern plains of the Pampanga River.
Its politico-administrative boundaries have been altered for several times since its creation as a Pueblo in
1750 while the Philippines is yet under the rule of the Spanish Government. In 1899, when the Philippines
was under the rule of the American Government, San Rafael was incorporated with the town of Baliwag
with the intent of declaring the latter to be the capital of the Province of Bulacan. Local petitions
complemented by the failure to declare it as the capital, however, convinced the American Government to
retain San Rafael as an independent town from Baliwag.
Together with the town of San Ildefonso, the whole of San Rafael became the property of Hospital San
Juan De Dios when landowners agreed to donate their properties to the hospital. Thus, from 1927, San
Rafael became known as Hacienda de Buenavista until 1944 when it got back its original name.
Miranda 2022 3
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
The history of San Rafael highlights its political affiliations with the adjoining towns of San Ildefonso and
Baliwag and indicates some economic and socio-cultural linkages that have withstood the times. A better
appreciation of such linkages may be derived from the following more detailed analyses of the
demographic, physical, economic, social and governance conditions which bear on the long term
development of San Rafael.
Miranda 2022 4
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
San Rafael is One of six municipalities of Bulacan traversed by the Cagayan Valley Road. The latter is the
main road that links the northeastern provinces of Nueva Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Isabela and
Cagayan to Metro Manila. The municipality is likewise traversed by Angat River and shares being host to
Angat After Bay Diversion Dam with the Municipality of Bustos. The Reservoir of Angat Dam in
Norzagaray Bulacan is some 12 kilometers directly east of the municipality.
GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES
San Rafael is some 58 kilometers north of Manila. It is geographically located between 14deg57min and
15deg3min North longitude and 120deg53min to 121deg4min East latitude. It is bounded on the north by
the Municipality of San Ildefonso, by the municipality of Angat in the east, Municipality of Baliwag in the
south and Municipality of Candaba in the Province of Pampanga in the west. Together with the
Municipalities of San Miguel, San Ildefonso, Norzagaray, Angat and Bustos, they compose the Third
Congressional District of Bulacan.
By year 2025, it is estimated that the population of San Rafael shall grow by almost fifty percent based on
its 85,921 population in 2010 assuming that the municipal population shall grow as fast as the average
provincial population growth between 2000 and 2010 .
Miranda 2022 5
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
The most populated barangay shall still be Caingin followed by Tambubong with more than 10,000
persons each. Seven barangays shall have between 5,000 and 10,000 residents while the rest shall have
less than 5,000 persons each.
The distribution of population by barangay shown Table 3 below shows a centrality trend of four barangays
namely Caingin, Tambubong, San Roque and Capihan. In the May 2010 population count, Barangay
Caingin exhibited the highest population centrality as it registered more than 9,000 persons accounting for
more than ten percent of the municipal population. Barangays Capihan, San Roque and Tambubong
registered more than 5,000 persons each representing between five and ten percent each. Ten other
barangays registered medium size population or between 2,000 and 4,000 persons each representing
between 2.5 to five percent of total population. The remaining twenty other barangays had less than 2,000
persons each. Four of the last group of barangays accounted for less than one percent each while the
other sixteen accounted for between one and 2.5 percent each shows that the highly populated barangays
are either proximate to or traversed by the Dona Remedios Trinidad Road. This only emphasizes the
natural tendency for population and communities to converge near transportation links.
Population Growth. In terms of population growth, seven barangays exhibited very high growth rates
between 2000 and 2010. Five of these are very proximate to the DRT Road as may be seen in Figure 2.7
below. This population increase indicates a need to regulate residential development especially along the
main roads traversing the municipal landscape

The topography of San Rafael is defined by being sandwiched between two rivers: by the Angat River in
the southern boundary with the Municipality of Baliwag and Maasim River along the northern boundary
with the Municipality of San Ildefonso. The topography is further defined by the level plains in the western
section and the undulating to hilly mountains on the eastern section. A pronounced topographic feature is
the abandoned railroad track that runs from s
Miranda 2022 7
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
Drainage and Flooding. Figure below shows that the northern barangays of the municipality are drained
by Maasim River while the southern barangays by Angat River. These two rivers are also the sources of
irrigation water for the Angat- Maasim Rivers Irrigation System which covers most of the western
barangays.
As shown in Figure below, flooding is not a major hazard that may cause disaster in the municipality. Only
areas in the immediate vicinity of major rivers (Angat and Maasim) are highly susceptible to flooding. The
rest of the municipal landscape is susceptible to low or moderate flooding events.
Road Nettwork. The Road Management Information System of Bulacan Province reveals a 414 kilometer
road network for the municipality of San resulting to a road density of 4 kilometers for every square
kilometer of land. Less than ten percent are funded and maintained by the national government including
Miranda 2022 8
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
the ten-kilometer abandoned railroad right of way of the PNR and some seven kilometers of irrigation
service roads of the NIA.
Around 85 percent of the total road length or some 350 kilometers are classified as barangay roads.
Almost three-fourths of which are concrete-paved while a little less than twenty percent have gravel
surface. Some 21 kilometers remain dirt roads or with earth surface. Except for Barangay Sapang
Pahalang, the rest of the barangays have concrete- and gravel-surfaced barangay roads. The 2.2
kilometers of roads in the former are all earth-surfaced. Other barangays with remaining earth roads
include Caingin, Coral Na Bato, Pinac-pinacan, Pulo, Pulong Bayabas, and Salapungan.
Water Supply. San Rafael Water District provides Level III domestic water supply to 22 barangays as
shown in Figure below. Data from the water district office shows that there are more than 5,000
connections. Figure 2.18 further shows that the water district has five overhead water tanks sourced from
groundwater.
In the rest of the barangays level I water supply sources have been established both by government and
private households through deep well and artesian wells. Aside from domestic use, groundwater is also a
major source of irrigation water through pumps.
Miranda 2022 9

It was earlier shown under the section discussing the agriculture situation in the municipality that the
western rice producing areas are served with irrigation water from the Angat-Maasim River Irrigation
System that diverts surface water from Angat River through the Bustos Dam. The North Main Canal
conveys irrigation water to the areas north of Angat River including the western barangays of San Rafael.
Some 65.217 hectares of ricelands are covered by the AMRIS in San Rafael as was shown in an earlier
section.

The PPDO of Bulacan estimates that flooding and rainfall induced landslides may cause damages to
property, infrastructures and agriculture valued between PhP 60.1 to 636.9 million in San Rafael. The
same may result to minimal fatalities.
In the case of geologic hazards, under the scenarios investigated, fatalities from ground shaking resulting
from earthquakes may reach more than 1,500 persons while value of damages caused by groundshaking,
soil liquefaction and ashfall may be more than PhP1.2 billion.
Disaster Management. Local disaster management is guided by Republic Act 10121 and the national
disaster risk reduction and management plan. It aims to build disaster-resilient communities and
institutionalize measures to reduce disaster risks and enhancing disaster preparedness and response
capabilities. As such, similar to the national DRRM Plan, local disaster management is focused on four
themes: prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and early recovery and rehabilitation.
To date, the municipal government of San Rafael has yet to create an office that is dedicated to
coordinating its disaster risk reduction and management activities. The function is currently being
performed by the Municipal Administrator.

Climate Change and San Rafael. The study conducted by the Manila Observatory and commissioned by
the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in 2007 although done on a national level,
provides a view of the changing climatic conditions in the country across regions and provinces. The
results of the study indicate: (1) surface temperature increases that are consistent with the global and
national trends; (2) local variations in rainfall distribution; (3) acceleration of sea level rise; and (4) typhoon
occurrences.

The Site.
The Proposed Film and Entertainment Hotel is to be situated on the Center area of San Rafael, Bulacan.
Currently, the CLUP classifies the site under the zoning of “Agricultural”. Currently, the site is accessible
from the Plaridel by-pass road and it sits firmly adjacent to small resorts and agricultural land.

Existing Establishments
Miranda 2022 14
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
Some of the existing establishments adjacent to the site are privately facilities and some are government
facility. This shows that the surrounding area of the site is not too busy. Right beside the site are the Royal
Northwoods of San Rafael, the residential and private resort and hotel. On the far south of the site is
theSan Rafael National Trade School and churches.
Site Inventory
The site frontage which will be the Palanas Road will be the best entry for the for public programs.The
busy road will make noise for the production programs and so, a buffer zone and greeneries will be put up
for the dispersion and blocking of noise. The north-eastern side is the coolest are where passive cooling

will be existing and can be maximized thru the use of tropical design for the development. The hottest area
is the south-western where louvers and sun shading will be applicable. There is a portion of separation
between the busy areas of the development which is the public programs and production programs from
not that busy. The lot at the back is best use for the entrance of suppliers and artist that is part of the
production programs.
The zoning of the given site is considered commercial based on the CLUP of San Rafael Bulacan. It has
two minor roads.
Site Analysis.
Miranda 2022 16

(Current Location map of the site along with its adjacent occupancies)
The sun path travels across the site horizontally, however. With this, the optimum orientation to which the
proposed shall have must be the longer side of the building facing towards the eastern and western sides,
avoiding the southern area to which might incur a hotter area.
SWOT ANALYSIS:
STRENGHTS:
o The site is flat, this backs up the data that the site itself is free from floods and storm
surges.
o The site has an ample of room for the development of the project.
o The site is located adjacent to a forest reserve.
o Lot Size and Lot Classification – The site has a total lot area of 107,073 sq. m. (10
hectares). That can provide all the spaces of the proposed project
WEAKNESSES:
o The site doesn’t have a direct access from the national and main road.
o The site has an irregular shape
o The site is located from agricultural zoning
OPPORTUNITIES:
Miranda 2022 17
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
o The site itself is located within walking distance from center and programs of the city, this
then backs up the importance of the proposal within the area.
o Road Networks- The minor and major roads that has the access to the project
THREATS:
o The location of the agricultural lands is located within 5km from the project’s site.
o RROW from the site is not yet fully developed
Initially, the proponent divided the site into different area areas. Specifically, the following are:
Parking areas
Open areas
The film Hotel
Film Studio
Themepark Entrance/Building
Cineplex
Depicted within the image below is the probable orientation and location of these areas within the site.

Summary:
A theme park located within Resorts World Sentosa on Sentosa Island, Singapore. It features 28 rides,
shows, and attractions in seven themed zones. It was a key component of Genting's bid for the right to
build Singapore's second integrated resort. On 8 December 2006, the Singapore government announced
that the consortium had won the bid. Construction of the theme park and the rest of the resort started on
19 April 2007. It is the second Universal Studios theme park to open in Asia (Japan being the first), and
the first in Southeast Asia.
Analysis:
The Universal Studios Theme Park is not a typical Theme Park because of its consistent character to all
the buildings and rides.
Interpretation:
The same way San Rafael Entertainment and Parks will also feature Interactive Multimedia Theme Park
Rides which features different Filipino famous films the make a dent in the history of Filipino films.

Summary:
The 2020 NBA Bubble, also referred to as the Disney Bubble or Orlando Bubble, was the isolation zone
at Walt Disney World in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando, that was created by the National Basketball
Association (NBA) to protect its players from the COVID-19 pandemic during the final eight games of
the 2019–20 regular season and throughout the 2020 NBA playoffs. Twenty-two of the thirty NBA teams
were invited to participate, with games being held behind closed doors at the ESPN Wide World of Sports
Complex and the teams staying at Disney World hotels. The bubble was a $170 million investment by the
NBA to protect its 2019–20 season, which was initially suspended by the pandemic on March 11, 2020. In
June, the NBA approved the plan to resume the season at Disney World, inviting the 22 teams that were
within six games of a playoff spot when the season was suspended. Although initially receiving a mixed
reaction from players and coaches, the teams worked together to use the bubble as a platform for
the Black Lives Matter movement.
Interpretation:
The idea of the Bubble Concept Hotel adopted the 2020 NBA Bubble in Disney Florida where the film
production company’s crews and actors will also be isolated in times of pandemic.

Noida Film City houses the Asian Academy of Film and Television and Marwah Films and Video Studios
along with prominent news channels from India. The Film City is a gateway to Noida's
twin brother, Greater Noida, which has developed as an ultra-modern industrial township, evincing interest
from large globally established multinational corporations and other corporate houses promising
international standards of living. Large-scale activity in all these studios, outdoor locales provided by the
Film City, and the twin cities of Noida and Greater Noida have put it on the world map of filmmaking.
One of its great structure is the film theater gallery named “ Nauntanki” as shown in Figure .0. This is one
of the factors why the city reigns the triumph. The different amenities also serve as a tourist attraction
because of the different character of the structure that gives the people more interest to explore the entire
city.
For the wide range of news, views, and current affairs programs being shot there, the Film City continues
to attract a host of politicians, bureaucrats, and celebrities from practically every walk of life, making it one
of the most sought-after centers of VIP visits. Foreign delegations and filmmakers from abroad are drawn
to the Film City for its interest in studying its success story and for exploring the possibilities of
collaborative joint ventures and culture exchange programs with the like-minded Indian media houses
there.
Analysis:
The stability of every structure inside the city is according to the advance technology of the India. Every
structure inside the film city has its own character but all the buildings falls into one similarities which is the
art identity of the country being applied to every single aesthetics of the building. Every facilities talks by
itself like it describes the history and culture of India even without asking someone there and it emphasize
the floral concept of lotus and that what makes the city a cultural center for filmmaking.
Interpretation:
In Noida film city it holds the tradition approach to every structure that helps to promote the unique culture
of India and still the modern function of every amenities are there. In line on how the Noida film city respect
the essence of the art from the inheritance should adopt because it will help the proponent to meet the
project’s objectives. Together by not relying to the other country’s architectural style.

Architectural Description:
The Manila Film Center is a national building located at the southwest end of the Cultural Center of the
Philippines Complex in Pasay, Philippines. The structure was designed by architect Froilan Hong where its
edifice is supported on more than nine hundred piles which reaches to the bed-rock about 120 feet below.
The Manila Film Center served as the main theater for the First Manila International Film Festival (MIFF)
January 18–29, 1982. The building has also been the subject of controversies due to an accident that
happened on November 17, 1981.
Analysis:
Basically the development did not work out because it was out-dated in technology in terms of achieving in
the time of Marcos that why right now the Manila Film Center was no use to the fast pace development of
technologt when it comes to Philippine Cinematography. Learning from this story the Film Hotel will be

of computer graphics to create or contribute to images in art, printed media, video games, films, television
programs, shorts, commercials, videos, and simulators by the use of what we called key frames or green
screens.
Interpretation:
Prior to the Manila Film Center, the Philippines did not have an official national film archive which is why
on January 1981, then first lady Imelda Marcoss pearheaded the building of the first Manila Center. Under
the supervision of Betty Benitez, the spouse of then Deputy MHS Minister Jose Conrado Benitez, they
organized a group to pursue the project. Ramon M. Ignacio, Senior Technology Officer at the Technology
Resource Center, conceptualized the project and its various components. He likewise prepared the
feasibility study. Among the Film Center's project components were: the 360-degree theater to show past
and present historical and tourism scenes for future generations; the Film Financing/Loan Program to

Now, you’re wondering how Hollywood actors appear in several movies in a single year. That’s because
the taping was done months before the actual movie release.

B. DESIGN CONCEPTS
ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT
Miranda 2022 32
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
One that is rooted in the past but looks fearlessly toward the future. The final goal must be to build
distinctive structure that express the Filipino’s culture and uplift the spirit but they must also meet the
needs of the Filipino’s today. Rooted in the culture but also contemporary, organic to the landscape,
indigenous materials were the most suited but transform by the design and technology to stand alongside
with the best of the world.
“A progressive, and green city with disciplined, empowered, and God- loving citizenry led by competent
civil servants in an orderly community and diversified economy.”
The statement summarizes the aspirations on the state of San Rafael in the future—a socio- economically
developed city that adheres to the principles of sustainable development supported by citizens (who are
disciplined, empowered and God-loving) and led by a competent local civil service.
The above statement has evolved to a shorter version that essentially projects the same meaning but
leaves room for future adjustments without rehashing the statement itself
“A progressive, secure and green city.” This statement summarizes the four major aspirations of the
people of San Rafael: (1) progress; (2) security; (3) sustainability; and, (4) cityhood.
Progress. For the average resident of San Rafael, progress is measured in terms of the standard
of living in the community. This in turn is measured by several factors including the ability of every
family to provide for the needs of every member. Progress to the average family means: having
opportunities to be fully and decently employed; having access to quality and affordable
education, health and other social services; having free access to information; having no
impediments to mobility, among others. Such a condition can be seen in the general contentment
among the people on the lives that they are living as residents of San Rafael.
Safety. For San Rafael security shall have two aspects--security from natural disasters on one
hand and security from manmade disasters, on the other. On the first, a futuristic San Rafael shall
have a complete inventory and assessment of risks to natural hazards including characteristics of
the hazards and the population and other elements at risk.
Cityhood. The vision of becoming a city shall be met when San Rafael meets the minimum
requirements of being one as provided in government regulations.
FORM CONCEPT
Miranda 2022 33
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
Cinema has been one of the greatest influences in our modern life, and it is also a form of art, the seventh
art along with photography, architecture, literature, play, painting and music. It is the combination of
technology, business, entertainment and aesthetics, each and everything of these four has important role
in present day world and also visible in the variation of its forms.
Film is technology (picture taken in the celluloid camera and editing), Movie is the business and
entertainment, and Cinema is the aesthetics.
Cinema, popular or parallel, a visual art of story–telling with rich inputs of music, screenplay, cast and
script, mirrors the contemporary society in which it functions. From emotional dramas to candy-floss
romances to action-thrillers, cinema derives its sustenance, ideas and imaginations from its surroundings.
The images cinema creates, surreal or tangled wave of deceit, need to be in sync with societal aspirations
and basic urge of humanity to recreate and have fun and entertainment. The main protagonist of any film
fights villains who are manifestations of contemporary societal evils - from village money-lender to land-
hawks to advocates of dowry, dons and modern day terrorists. It provides a platform that reflects the
growth of economy, politics, technological advancements. Films are useful for knowing the history of
Miranda 2022 34
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
ancient world. A lot of countries of the world are involved with Film making through their own industry,
among them the most powerful, organized, popular and influential is Hollywood which entertains the total
world population and not only that it surprises the world with the advancement of technology. A movie is
not only a visual treat to its audience but it also an account of societal, economic and political set up in
which a person is living.
Movies affect many of us powerfully because the combined impact of images, music, dialogue, lighting,
sound and special effects can elicit deep feelings and help us reflect on our lives. They can help us to
better understand our own lives, the lives of those around us and even how our society and culture
operate.
FUNCTIONAL CONCEPT
Larger Context
Design is communication and clear communication requires a common understanding of the problem we
are solving. The context allows us to clarify the problem as well as the scope. If the context of users and
designers is not the same, the end product will never satisfy the users.
As a Designer, you cannot design a room without thinking about the whole house and you cannot design a
house alone without knowing about the area or environment or colony where you are going to build the
house. By considering a bigger picture or context does not mean that should start over-thinking and go
beyond the realistic approach. The Designer cannot think about the context of the whole world while
designing a chair. There should be a limit to the context that you will consider while designing a feature. If
we go to a deeper level, it would become difficult for us to handle a huge set of information and will not be
able to decide from where to start. As a Designer/Architect we should go deeper into the next level or two
and start designing the feature.

Resilient Channels - Resilient sound channels are the main way of decoupling drywall from
internal structures of buildings.
Acoustic Hangers (Mounts) - Sound isolation clips are designed to allow a decoupling separation
between the walls and ceiling from the underlying framing studs and joists.
Soundproof Drywall (Plasterboard) - Apart from the common varieties of drywall which can be
purchased at most DIY stores, there is also a more specialised form of drywall, namely
soundproof drywall.
Anti-Vibration Soundproof Floor Mats - Soundproof floor mats are another interesting option to
arrest impact sound and vibration leading to structural airborne noise.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Vegetation
Consideration on how plants and trees should be maintained easily inside an enclose structure as well as
what kind of plants and trees are capable and suitable for the concept of the project.
Accessibility
Proper plan of spaces to avoid confusion of space organization when the users are inside the structure as
well as in the site.
Orientation
Analysis of the orientation to form a shape of structure that can benefit the natural lighting and ventilation
PLANNING THEORIES
Anthropometrics and Ergonomics will mainly be applied to the facilities spaces. Accurate
measurement and the efficiency of the fixture used will be a factor for the whole structures
purpose and uses.
Proxemics will be valued in the spatial functions of the facility. The distance zones will give a value
for the users so that the users are relaxed without intruding their personal spaces.
Color Theory/Psychology is the use of color in variation of lightness and saturation, the tints,
tones, shades and hue of the finishing of the walls and fixtures used in the facility. With this
Miranda 2022 36

application it would greatly balance the moods of every single user of the facility. It will lessen the
tension and comfort the unease mind.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
“Design a thing by considering it in its next larger context- a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in
a community, a community in a city.”
-Elliel Saarin
As an Architect we should know that each object should be designed in its “next largest context”. All parts
of an architectural composition must be parts of the same form-world.

Acoustic design and assign materials to achieve good sound within a building. Soundstage requires
adequate and sufficient soundproofing to provide good speech intelligibility. The voices and sounds used
in film making are often recorded, natural sound is still encouraged to reduce time and money for
production team. Wall insulation is also important for the soundstages to avoid unwanted sound within the
complex, considering that the adjacent lots are subdivisions. The communication within the whole facility
of the development is necessary. The communication engineering service will bridge a room to another.
Communication is a demand in this facility for the coordination of the whole Production facility to serve for
the best service it can give.
Master Plumber
Proper plumbing design is crucial in designing Master Plan of a wide-scale project. Flooding inside the
complex must be avoided through prudent planning without affecting the design of the zoning of
structures. Vegetation is also encourage to reduce the risk of flood inside the area.
The Interior Designer will add up to the aesthetical value and concept of the totality of the structure. Mainly
the furniture to be added, color of the walls, used lightings and the overall ambiance of the Public
Programs such as Entertainment Center , theme park rides, auditorium and office spaces of the production
programs.
Landscaping service will be crucial for the Film City because it will play a big role in buffering sounds so
that shootings that will be happening in the Production Programs will not be interupted. Also, this service
will provide various kind of greenery that will give compliment to the surrounding of the development.
The consulting architect will arrange a method of making the whole development safe, secured, protected
and have enough security forces.
This service is to ensure that the building will have proper maintenance for the Multimedia Film City’s
sustainability. Also, this is to ensure that the facility acts on its proper functions.
Forensic Architecture
Forensic Architecture’s service is making the facility prolong its life and how it can best maintain itself.
Building Components
To best translate and apply the concept and goals of the building a hired consulting architect will focus on
building components whereas the architect will give knowledge what’s best materials can be used inside
and outside the development.

3. DESIGN CONSTRAINTS
Economic
All projects require a huge investment in building the Hotel & Park construction. It may be too costly
especially because it requires numerous equipment for the rides and attraction, as well as the building
materials for the whole structure and the materials needed for the innovations of the building. The
application of budget may greatly affect the construction, plan and design of the whole project. The
equipment and other materials needed for the project may be to costly, so the suggested brands of the
equipment and materials is local brand.
Sustainability
Leisure park is one of the hard to sustain establishment due to the numerous facilities and utilities needed.
A structure with its facilities must serve along time purpose to the users and clients. But due to highly
maintenance needed for this kind of project for the facilities and equipment’s, it may be one of the design
constraints that should lend some attention.
Competitors
The San Rafael Golf Course together with its hotel and residential estates is one of the three famous
attraction in San Rafael, Bulacan. It is also located in Barangay Kapihan. Building a new accommodation
with entertainment will be the one of the threats of this Hotel. But this Hotel’s goal to stand out of all
existing because of its extended stay for the film production companies.
Ethical
There are a lot of impacts for building a movie center in the nation. It may be positive or negative. The
main goal of proposing a Multimedia Film City is to build ones character by providing quality Filipino films.
Filipino films can enhance ones capabilities to do inspiring things through architectural styles promoting
Filipino to Filipino and Filipino to other nations.
Sustainability
In order to sustain the existence of the project the Proposed Multimedia Film City should be inviting
enough in terms of architectural features. Sustainability can be achieved through the support of more
users of the project. The project should plan more facilities that will cater more viewers and users of the
facilities to gain more profits and achieved a long term project.
Environmental
o The Proposed Project can help the environment to raise certain awareness of patronizing Filipino
creations.
o On the top priorities are having the very first multimedia film is to affect the environment upgrading
especially the people residing around the area.

Track rollers—also referred to as idler rollers—are motion transmission components designed to work with
all varieties of tracks. They see use in conveyor systems, cam drives, and a wide range of similar material
handling systems. Regardless of the material or machine, these components play a critical role in track
and rail operations. When selected, employed, and maintained properly, they facilitate system operations,
allowing for greater speed and efficiency. Track rollers are available with outer ring running surfaces or
cylindrical (or flat) outer ring running surfaces. While the ideal variety of track roller varies depending on
intended use and application, the outer ring running surface is widely considered the gold standard.
Perforated Panels are one the most popular forms of sheet metal in the construction industry. These
panels require industrial machines to punch or stamp them for creating practical patterns such as holes.
Perforated pates, perforated sheets and perforated screens are other names of these products. They all
contain aluminum composites, pre-painted galvanized steel, copper, zinc and stainless steel in their
structure. Manufacturing these panels started about a hundred and fifty years ago, and the main reason
for their production was coal filtering utilization in mining projects. The drawback of these products was
that the laborer had to punch the holes into the sheet metal manually, and it was inefficient. Fortunately,
nowadays, manufacturers improved the process by utilizing machines to increase punching needles speed
with particular patterns.
Miranda 2022 83
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
In the modern era, architects and designers prefer to utilize perforated panels for interior and exterior
projects and other industrial materials such as aluminum-composite panels. These practical products can
create new and creative designs and eco-conscious and performance efficiency with their aesthetic
appearance. Architects and builders recommend these panels for construction applications due to their
functionality and sustainability, especially in developing renovation and current projects, including
remodeling and building. Designers benefit from the various color finishes that perforated panels come
with and allow them to have limitless imagination and ideas for developing modern-looking and unique
appearance for residential and commercial facilities.
The aesthetic appearance and beauty of perforated panels is not the only reason for producing these
panels. They also provide sound insulation, thermal expansion requirements, safety, and light balance for
the facility. The production process of perforated panels allows them to have robust, functional and precise
combination characteristics. Along with other popular industrial materials such as aluminum plates,
perforated panels are very cost-effective materials for improving the exterior and interior while creating an
atmosphere of light and space. It is best to know about the perforated panels’ manufacturing process to
ensure the most suitable material for any demanding project.

Thin Shell
A thin shell is defined as a shell with a thickness which is small compared to its other dimensions and in
which deformations are not large compared to thickness. A primary difference between a shell structure
and a plate structure is that, in the unstressed state, the shell structure has curvature as opposed to the
plates structure which is flat. Membrane action in a shell is primarily caused by in-plane forces (plane
stress), but there may be secondary forces resulting from flexural deformations. Where a flat plate acts
similar to a beam with bending and shear stresses, shells are analogous to a cable which resists loads
through tensile stresses. The ideal thin shell must be capable of developing both tension and compression
Thin-shell structures (also called plate and shell structures) are lightweight constructions using shell
elements. These elements, typically curved, are assembled to make large structures. Typical applications
include aircraft fuselages, boat hulls, and the roofs of large buildings.
Bracing
Miranda 2022 84
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
Bracing, which provides stability and resists lateral loads, may be from diagonal steel members or, from a
concrete 'core'. In braced construction, beams and columns are designed under vertical load only,
assuming the bracing system carries all lateral loads.
In architectural design, a space framing or space frame system is a truss-like, lightweight, rigid structure
manufactured from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frame structures can be utilized for
large areas with few interior supports.

Aluminium composite panels (ACP) can be used for the most diverse applications. In construction, the so-
called aluminium sandwich panels are often applied to the walls of buildings to serve as siding.
Furthermore, the panels can also function as machine shields or roofs for gas stations.
Low-E coatings have been developed to minimize the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that can pass
through glass without compromising the amount of visible light that is transmitted. When heat or light
energy is absorbed by glass, it is either shifted away by moving air or re-radiated by the glass surface.
Miranda 2022 86

Double skin façades. Almost a self-explanatory name for façade systems consisting of two layers, usually
glass, wherein air flows through the intermediate cavity. This space (which can vary from 20 cm to a few
meters) acts as insulation against extreme temperatures, winds, and sound, improving the building's
thermal efficiency for both high and low temperatures.
The airflow through the intermediate cavity can occur naturally or be mechanically driven, and the two
glass layers may include sun protection devices.
While the concept of double-skin façades is not new, there is a growing tendency for architects and
engineers to use them. Particularly in skyscraper design, they are favored for their transparent façade,
thermal and auditory comfort, reduced air conditioning costs, and elimination of the need for window-
specific technologies.
Miranda 2022 87
To-Morrow Film and Entertainment Hotel: A Bubble Concept Hotel & Parks.
Additionally, double-skin façades are adaptable to cooler and warmer weather. It is this versatility that
makes them so interesting: through minor modifications, such as opening or closing inlet or outlet fins or
activating air circulators, the behavior of the façade is changed.
In cold climates, the air buffer works as a barrier to heat loss. Sun-heated air contained in the cavity can
heat spaces outside the glass, reducing the demand for indoor heating systems.

These lightweight panels are created by sandwiching two calcium silicate panels with polystyrene beads
and cement or ceramsite. They form a non-load bearing light weight composite panel that can be used in
walls, flooring and roofing.

Pre-Cast
Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or "form"
which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place. In
contrast, cast-in-place concrete is poured into site-specific forms and cured on site.
