PASÁDA A Proposed Overland Bus Terminal Belonio & Galor

BELONIO, M.
DESIGN CONCEPT
The concept of this overland bus terminal focuses on its servicescape design. Its
interior, exterior, ambient, display, social, and functional variables adhere to
safeguard passengers' emotions. Strategies that generate positive emotions are also
incorporated to ensure the comfortability of the passengers. Examples of these
strategies are the provision of green spaces, atriums, glass walls, and water features
for a nature-passenger relationship, better way-finding, wide walkways to avoid
congestion, high ceilings, and exclusion of pedestrian ways from the site's vehicular
perimeter roads to prevent risk. The proposed development is more than just a typical
bus terminal. Instead, its design makes it a remarkable landmark, a one-stop-shop
with commercial spaces,, and, at the same time, a place where local products, city
identity, and culture are featured.
SITE ANALYSIS GALOR, H.
The site - is located at Panacan, Davao city, along Daang
Maharlika highway, Davao city diversion road. A major
road accompanies it on its northwest to northeast side
and a minor road on its southwest to the southeast side.
Its boundaries enclose 5.2 hectares of land area.
According to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of
Davao city, the site belongs to the infrastructure or utility
zone. The usage of the site for the proposed overland
terminal would primarily cater to northern route-oriented
buses to help avoid congestion in the city's civic center.
Sun path - the sun rises from the site's east side to the west

MATERIALS side. The western sun in its peak point may deliver excessive
heat to the proposed development and the users, given that
no existing adjacent buildings may block or provide shading.
The provision of green spaces may add shading; atriums are
incorporated to maximize God's way of lighting and the glass
walls. Shading from canopies and roof eaves is also needed
to control sunlight penetration towards the indoors.

Wind analysis - the site's Northeast and Southwest sides

are the wind flow pathways. Window openings to open
Albeta Marble Sapele Mahogany Polished Concrete White Oak
space and atrium will be aligned with the wind flow
Wood Wood direction to enhance natural ventilation and stack effect.

Noise analysis - the major road may exhibit 70dB to

80dB on a decibel scale, classified as loud to very loud
due to the passage of cars and large vehicles, while
the minor road generates lesser noise.

Traffic analysis - based on the existing

traffic flow, northbound buses take the
major road on the northwest to the
northeast side of the site upon entering
and leaving the city. Heavy traffic is also
present on it due to private and public
utility vehicles tackling the same road. On
the other side, the minor road on the
southwest to the southeast side of the
site generates lesser traffic near a
residential area and is not a public utility
vehicles route. The mainline for vans and
buses entering and departing the site will
be provided along the major road line to
avoid congestion on the minor road.
Drop-off areas along the major road will
be provided for PUVs tackling straight the
northbound side. In contrast, taxis,
tricycles, and private cars' ingress and
egress will be provided along the minor
road to segregate them from buses and
vans' immediate access.
