The proposed building was situated in an interior lot having the front orientation of

north east part. The designers use the contemporary style architecture in fil – Hispanic that

embodies grandeur and dignity of the design for the residential building. Huge glass was

incorporated in the lower ground which is the place where the restaurant sited to let the

abundant light in while minimizing the glare through the use of sun shield glass. Art

installations are also exhibited in the middle of the floor plan. The design focuses more on the

function and the organization of spaces to make a more holistic design and make a

convenient space for both the user and the community that will reside. Atrium are the one of

the feature as the people enter with a skylight to make an aesthetic view to the users.

The shape of the proposed building is inspired and derived from natural things which

is the main concept of the of the “kalesa” as the adapted design approach for the proposed

project. The kalesa is the chosen design concept because of its purpose that makes people

used to travel the different tourist tourist attraction in the city. This is applied in the proposed

building in order to achieved the designer desire which is to make people resting and eating

while seeing does different kind of arts displayed in the building that make them interested

and not be feel bored because of the behavior and aesthetic vibe that the building have. The

main building also follows the concept of adapting natural things as inspiration of the shapes

of the building which is the wheel of the kalesa is the concept of such buildings.
What’s New

The building structure of the of the project is inspired by a modern architecture

applying still Filipino Hispanic Architecture. The building design inspiration adapt one of the
culture here in Vigan City connecting it to Hispanic Period, and modernity design of
construction materials of the project will consider the new aspect of the building project,
the dwellings windws, doors execute the. The design has an evolution that shows the
filipino-hispanic theme as before, even the title name adapt on the cultural ilokano product
of Vugan ‘’pilid ti kalesa’’, the hotel emphazizes contemporary structure

The design’s objective is to secure the goal to have an efficient workshop to have a
better plan and design project or a building it has an efficient design at a target project. The
project’s quality shows the Modern Architecture with a glimpse of Hispanic Architecture.

DESIGN CONCEPT

The design concept of the project is a modern Filipino architect with an architectural

style based upon new and innovative technologies of construction particularly the used of

glass, steel and reinforcement concrete. Filipino architect reflects the ingenuity and resilient

of our ancestors. It is culturally and geographically distinctive made with local materials that

are designated to adapt to the geographical climate in the Philippines. The building that

makes unique itself is simplicity in design, modern architecture is based on obstruction which

is created by clean lines, basic shape and form which perfectly applied in my design.

Optimizing Your Sports Facilities for People with
Disabilities
Since the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the lives of people
with disabilities or mobility issues has improved dramatically by helping to make
public places more accessible and hospitable. Today Sports Facilities Management
wants to help you to create a more accessible business environment by offering
some tips to improve your sports facilities accessibility for people with disabilities.
This list is not exhaustive and it is important to remember providing accessibility is an
ongoing process, not a single event.

Parking at Your Sports Facilities

  To decide how many parking spots you should designate for people with
disabilities is generally based on the rule of 1 accessible spot per 25 total
spaces.
 Make sure your accessible space is clearly designated with an accessibility
sign.
 Designate the closest parking spot to your wheelchair accessible entrance,
and be free from excessive sloping.
 Provide extra space on both sides of the accessible parking spot to allow
individuals with disabilities plenty of room to exit and enter their vehicle.
 Provide a flat, stable, stair-free accessible route leading to your sports
facilities entrance.

Accessible Entrances
 Installation of wheelchair accessible ramps is key to creating more accessible
entrances at your sports facilities. When installing ramps be sure to keep the
slope as shallow as possible and at least 36 inches wide.
 If your building has multiple entrances only one door needs to be accessible,
but make sure that there is clear signage directing visitors from non-
accessible entrances to the accessible entrance.
 Pay attention to door technology. Level and loop handles are the easiest type
for anyone to use and are generally a good choice for accessible entrances.
Installation of an automatic door button is a rather expensive upgrade, but is
the ideal solution for your sports facilities.

Additional Amenities
 If your sports facility has more than one level it can be a good idea to offer
elevator access.
 Accessible locker room features such as room to maneuver in and out of
showers
 Accessible washrooms with grab bars and raised toilets. Also, mid-height
sinks and light switches can be much more convenient. Make certain
wastebaskets and other moveable objects do not obstruct clear spaces next
to the doors.
 Cover cords, extension cables, and other hoses and wires with a cord cover
to allow safe passage over any obstructions.
 Planning Your Sports Facilities
 By Craig Jameson
 12/01/15
For over 20 years, Parallax Associates, Architecture and Planning has been working
with clients to design sports facilities that meet specific needs and budgets. We have
provided planning and design services for both playing fields and gymnasium buildings
featuring college-level sports facilities, and our experience has given us a clear picture of
what matters most. If you are planning an athletics facility, here are five suggestions to
help ensure success.

1. Know Your Facility’s Needs

Before beginning the project’s design phase, meet with athletics staff and user groups to
understand how the indoor and/or outdoor facilities will be used. During this step,
confirm which sports will be played, which age groups will be playing them, how the
spaces will be used for non-athletic activities, such as assemblies, and what kinds of
provisions for spectators are needed.

In addition, determine specific requirements such as court and field sizes, sun
orientation, storage needs and audio-visual needs. Summarize conclusions resulting
from these preliminary meetings in a “project brief” and distribute the brief to participants
for approval. This process creates clear objectives for the design team and puts all
stakeholders on record. Documenting these needs will help ensure that plans meet the
facilities’ goals and minimize expensive design changes later in the process.

2. Consider the Gymnasium Floor

If a gymnasium is part of the project’s scope, selecting the right floor system is critical.
When evaluating flooring material, consider structural resiliency, surface hardness,
surface texture, and ball bounce, as well as safety requirements, budget and aesthetics.
Flooring options vary widely, and while hardwood surfaces are traditionally specified,
multi-use synthetic surfaces are becoming increasingly popular.

The most common hardwood system for gymnasiums is made of tongue-and-groove

maple strips laid over a plywood subfloor set on plywood “sleepers.” This composite
system allows the floor to move and “breathe” with changes in play intensity and room
humidity. The specific components vary, so meeting with product representatives to
understand performance and pricing options is beneficial.

3. Determine your Lighting Priorities — Inside and Out

Over the last decade, artificial lighting has become more energy efficient as compact
fluorescent and LED lamps replace less energy-efficient metal halide fixtures. However,
light color and lumen output (brightness) must still be considered for a successful
strategy. For this reason, we recommend working with a lighting designer to ensure that
design goals and local energy codes are met.
Lighting needs for indoor and outdoor venues differ. Large interior spaces, like
gymnasiums, need lighting that supports various formats. A basketball game has
different requirements than a school assembly. Accommodating alternate uses with
appropriate fixtures and controls is critical to making a highly flexible, well-functioning
space.

Also, it’s important to consider the potential for natural light sources — skylights and
clerestory windows, for example, can provide a sense of connection to the outdoors
while supplementing lighting in ways that reduce energy costs.

Outdoor field lighting presents different challenges. Here, the goal is to provide bright,
even illumination over a large area while minimizing glare and light spillage to adjacent
properties. Although there are many options, only a few provide the focused light output
and shielding needed to meet these goals. Working with a lighting consultant can ensure
that you source appropriate products.

4. Select the Right Turf for Playing Fields

When designing playing fields, an important question is: natural or synthetic turf? The
answer depends on certain circumstances, such as geographic location, weather patterns and
field use frequency. Weighing the pluses and minuses of both will help identify the best
solution; below is a partial list:

Natural Turf
Pluses:
 Traditional appearance
 Cool/stable surface temperature
 Rainwater percolates directly to
subsurface soil
 Easy to stripe and re-stripe
 No heat-island effect
Minuses:
 Needs to “rest” and regenerate
after seasons
 Requires year-round irrigation
 In-season wear zones are
common
 Requires constant maintenance
Artificial Turf
Pluses: Minuses:
 Reduced water
requirements
 Maintains appearance all
year long
 Reduced maintenance
requirements  Increased surface temperature variation
 Provides high surface  Heat-island effect radiates heat energy
uniformity back into atmosphere
Although artificial fields are somewhat easier to maintain, both require significant
maintenance. Natural grass needs regular watering, mowing, reseeding and pest
control. Artificial turf requires brushing, cleaning, pest control and will eventually need to
be mended or replaced.

Field lines are another consideration. Oftentimes, they are sewn directly into the artificial
turf fibers making it a challenge to alter the striping for multi-use fields. Natural turf on
the other hand, can be easily re-striped to accommodate different sport formats.

Finally, certain filler products used in artificial turf have raised concerns about health
risks. Since there are several artificial turf systems on the market, it is important to
compare them, visit existing installations, and get a clear understanding of each
system’s components, look and feel.
5. Consider Outdoor Comfort
In some regions, spring and summer can bring high temperatures, creating exhausting
conditions for outdoor play. To help athletes stay cool while off the field, shaded dugouts
or other screened structures can provide relief. Shade trees planted along the field’s
perimeter are an elegant way of providing shelter from the sun.

Designing successful sports facilities is a layered, collaborative process. Whether you

are renovating existing facilities or constructing new ones, these five suggestions are
just a few ways to help you create a high-functioning design that maximizes return on
investment and produces winning results.

How to design a sports facility

HOMEALL POSTSHOMEHOW TO DESIGN A SPORTS FACILITY

Sports facilities are always designed to offer comfort and practicality.  But, over the
last few years, more emphasis has been placed on also making them aesthetically
pleasing.  The architecture of these new spaces features fittings that can be as
functional as they are attractive.  Versatility, using new materials, playing with
traditional shapes, combining spaces, and sustainability are just some of the new
defining characteristics of design for sport.

Sports pavilions: playing with shapes and colour

In 2013, the first World Roller Hockey Championships were held in Luanda, the
capital of Angola.  Because it was such a large event, Berger Arquitectos designed a
pavilion that could hold up to 12,000 people.  The facilities consist of
different interchangeable modules, retractable benches that make it possible to adjust the
size of the courts, and outdoor footbridges that connect the pavilion’s four levels. LED
lights that change colour make sure the structure’s beauty really stands out.

In 2014, Perth Arena was built in Australia.  Its most exciting element is a retractable
roof that takes just a few minutes to open and allows natural light to flood the inside
of the stadium.  Outside, the Alucobond façade creates visual interest.  Black and
white peppered with blue and yellow provide the finishing touches on the exterior of
this enormous and chameleon-like building.

Sport, nature, and design

El Anillo (“The Ring”), an international sports centre designed by José María
Sánchez García, is one of the most innovative sports architecture projects around. 
The structure has a diameter of 200 metres and is built on a peninsula in Guijo de
Granadilla in Cáceres.  The space was built for practice, training, research, and the
development of nature sports.  But its special location required special
characteristics. Stainless steel materials with a very specific colour and shine were
used to ensure that it blended in with its surroundings as seamlessly as possible and
so that birds in the area were not put in any danger.  It’s evidence that state-of-the-
art tech and being environmentally responsible can, in fact, co-exist.

Stadiums: sport on the big stage

Wanda Metropolitano, the new home stadium for football team Atlético de Mardid, is
another example of architecture that is immediately recognisable, largely due to
the enormous roof consisting of two white with a red border that extends out over the
grandstand.  Not only does it have a unique design, it is also energy efficient: it’s the
first stadium in the world to use LED lighting only.

Cruz y Ortiz Arquitectos  made it all possible.  And, while we are on the topic of
stadiums, we can’t forget about Beijing National Stadium, also known as the “Bird’s
Nest”, which set a new benchmark for stadium design.  It was built for the 2008
Olympic Games, although its design is so modern one would forgive you for thinking
it was built more recently.  Its exposed steel structures are definitely one of its most
recognisable features.

Trust in timber
The use of natural materials is another characteristic of the latest sports
architecture.  The Equestrian Centre located in Cabo do Mundo , Leça da Palmeira,
Portugal is a great example of this.  Designed by Carlos Castnheira and Clara
Bastai, its structure is made entirely out of timber, giving the facilities a noticeable

sense of warmth and comfort.

The Feelviana Hotel, also in Portugal, is another example that shows us that timber is
here to stay.  The hotel’s aesthetics are dominated by wild pine and cedar combined
with large windows.  And, given its location, its no wonder that these materials were
chosen.  The fact that it is difficult to separate the indoors from the outdoors is no
coincidence.  Finfloor flooring was chosen thanks to its durable and robust nature.

Another wood-related trend has been used at Bogym, an outdoor gym made up of
different structures that allow uses to get a completely autonomous, full-body
workout.  Sustainability is the facility’s strong suit.  Its outdoor location also reduces
the risk of contracting viruses, something that will be a huge consideration in the
future.  This innovative gym is also adaptable, meaning that it can be used by anyone,
including those with mobility issues.

There’s no doubt that sports facilities will continue to surprise us with their
innovative architecture throughout the 21 st century.  The examples of well-known
structures we’ve listed here are leading the way on both national and international
levels.  Functionality and aesthetics are the future.

Perhaps this pivotal moment in history is also an opportunity to continue creating

facilities that are more in line with the needs of sport lovers, keeping in mind that, in
this rapidly changing world, the way we do physical activity is also changing.
