‭7.2.‬ ‭Individual/Collaboration Design Project‬


‭7.2.1.‬ ‭The‬‭students‬‭shall‬‭prepare‬‭and‬‭present‬‭his‬‭proposal‬‭individually‬‭and/or‬‭by‬‭collaboration‬‭with‬‭other‬‭students.‬
‭Collaborative‬ ‭works‬ ‭consist‬ ‭of‬ ‭two‬ ‭(2)‬ ‭to‬ ‭three‬ ‭(3)‬ ‭students‬ ‭tackling‬‭one‬‭(1)‬‭Master‬‭Development‬‭Plan‬‭in‬
‭which‬ ‭the‬ ‭division‬ ‭of‬ ‭works‬ ‭can‬ ‭cover‬ ‭a‬‭separate‬‭Capstone‬‭Design‬‭Project.‬‭For‬‭example,‬‭in‬‭projects‬‭that‬
‭would‬ ‭involve‬ ‭a‬ ‭very‬ ‭large‬ ‭mixed-use‬ ‭complex,‬ ‭one‬ ‭student‬ ‭may‬ ‭handle‬ ‭the‬ ‭residential‬ ‭section,‬ ‭another‬
‭student‬ ‭for‬ ‭the‬ ‭commercial-retail‬ ‭section,‬ ‭and‬ ‭another‬ ‭for‬ ‭the‬ ‭commercial-office‬ ‭section.‬ ‭Although‬ ‭the‬
‭premise‬ ‭would‬ ‭be‬ ‭that‬ ‭these‬ ‭sections‬ ‭would‬ ‭work‬ ‭hand-in-hand‬ ‭once‬ ‭completed,‬ ‭for‬ ‭the‬ ‭purposes‬ ‭of‬
‭capstone design project presentation, each section should stand on its own.‬
‭7.2.2.‬ ‭Two‬‭(2)‬‭or‬‭more‬‭students‬‭are‬‭allowed‬‭to‬‭present‬‭a‬‭similar‬‭type‬‭of‬‭proposal/design‬‭project‬‭provided‬‭that‬‭their‬
‭project‬‭site,‬‭objectives,‬‭scope‬‭and‬‭limitation,‬‭design‬‭and‬‭solutions‬‭shall‬‭not‬‭be‬‭exactly‬‭the‬‭same.‬ ‭Likewise,‬
‭two‬‭(2)‬‭or‬‭more‬‭students‬‭are‬‭allowed‬‭to‬‭choose‬‭the‬‭same‬‭site‬‭provided‬‭that‬‭their‬‭design‬‭projects‬‭would‬‭not‬
‭be the same.‬

‭7.3.‬ ‭Determining the Degree of Complexity‬


‭The‬‭purpose‬‭of‬‭implementing‬‭a‬‭Degree‬‭of‬‭Complexity‬‭is‬‭to‬‭institutionalize‬‭a‬‭system‬‭that‬‭rewards‬‭students‬‭who‬‭make‬‭a‬
‭greater‬‭effort‬‭in‬‭their‬‭capstone‬‭design‬‭project.‬ ‭It‬‭serves‬‭to‬‭balance‬‭the‬‭inequities,‬‭perceived‬‭or‬‭real,‬‭of‬‭awarding‬‭higher‬
‭grades‬ ‭to‬ ‭simpler‬ ‭and‬ ‭less‬ ‭complex‬ ‭projects.‬ ‭The‬ ‭basis‬ ‭for‬ ‭the‬ ‭establishment‬ ‭of‬ ‭Degree‬‭of‬‭Complexity‬‭is‬‭the‬‭SPP‬
‭Document‬‭202‬‭of‬‭the‬‭IRR‬‭of‬‭R.A.‬‭9266.‬ ‭The‬‭Document‬‭classifies‬‭different‬‭project‬‭types‬‭based‬‭on‬‭complexity‬‭of‬‭works.‬
‭The Document serves as a guideline and should not be seen as an absolute.‬

‭7.3.1.‬ U
‭ se‬‭of‬‭the‬‭Degree‬‭of‬‭Complexity.‬ ‭The‬‭Degree‬‭of‬‭Complexity‬‭shall‬‭be‬‭applied‬‭only‬‭during‬‭the‬‭Deliberation.‬
‭It shall take the form of a point with a corresponding multiplier, which are as follows:‬
‭Degree of Complexity‬ ‭Multiplier‬
‭1‬ ‭1.00‬
‭2‬ ‭1.025‬
‭3‬ ‭1.050‬

‭ uidelines‬ ‭for‬ ‭Determining‬ ‭the‬ ‭Degree‬ ‭of‬ ‭Complexity.‬ ‭These‬ ‭guidelines‬ ‭were‬ ‭derived‬ ‭from‬ ‭SPP‬
‭Document‬ ‭202‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭IRR‬ ‭of‬ ‭R.A.‬ ‭9266.‬ ‭These‬ ‭should‬‭not‬‭be‬‭seen‬‭and‬‭perceived‬‭as‬‭absolute‬‭and‬‭final‬
‭provisions‬ ‭but‬ ‭as‬ ‭a‬ ‭representation‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭simplest‬ ‭variation‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭building‬ ‭type.‬ ‭In‬ ‭the‬ ‭event‬ ‭that‬ ‭the‬
‭Capstone‬‭Design‬‭Project‬‭combines‬‭two‬‭or‬‭more‬‭types,‬‭the‬‭higher‬‭Degree‬‭of‬‭Complexity‬‭should‬‭be‬‭used.‬ ‭If‬
‭the‬‭project‬‭is‬‭a‬‭complex‬‭of‬‭similar‬‭types,‬‭then‬‭the‬‭Degree‬‭of‬‭Complexity‬‭for‬‭this‬‭type‬‭can‬‭be‬‭taken‬‭one‬‭step‬
‭higher.‬

‭ fter‬‭the‬‭deliberation,‬‭the‬‭assigned‬‭Capstone‬‭Committee‬‭member‬‭in‬‭the‬‭panel‬‭is‬‭tasked‬‭to‬‭compute‬‭for‬‭the‬
A
‭final‬‭grade‬‭of‬‭the‬‭candidate.‬ ‭To‬‭determine‬‭the‬‭Deliberation‬‭Grade,‬‭the‬‭average‬‭of‬‭the‬‭grades‬‭given‬‭by‬‭the‬
‭three jurors (average grade) is multiplied by the multiplier corresponding to the given Degree of Complexity.‬

‭ he‬‭Project‬‭Title‬‭,‬‭and‬‭the‬‭proposed‬‭Project‬‭Scope‬‭of‬‭Work‬‭and‬‭Space‬‭Programming‬‭should‬‭be‬‭checked‬‭and‬

T
‭specific‬‭focus‬‭on‬‭the‬‭study.‬‭The‬‭contents‬‭should‬‭highlight‬‭existing‬‭conditions‬‭within‬‭the‬‭area‬‭of‬‭study‬‭to‬‭establish‬
‭and to support the needs and problems stipulated in the problem statement.‬

‭1.2. Statement of the Problem‬


‭This‬ ‭section‬ ‭serves‬ ‭as‬ ‭a‬ ‭pivotal‬ ‭aspect‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭project,‬‭encapsulating‬‭fundamental‬‭issues‬‭in‬‭a‬‭community‬‭that‬
d‭ emands attention. It should be clearly itemized that would justify the need for the project being proposed.‬

‭This‬‭can‬‭be‬‭further‬‭detailed‬‭using‬‭descriptive‬‭explanations,‬‭employing‬‭a‬‭range‬‭of‬‭justificatory‬‭approaches,‬‭which‬
e‭ ncompass, though are not restricted to:‬

‭●‬ S ‭ ub-Problems‬‭Exploration:‬ ‭Identification‬‭of‬‭specific‬‭sub-problems‬‭within‬‭the‬‭defined‬‭area‬‭of‬‭study,‬


‭substantiated with relevant data to validate the need for a capstone design proposal.‬
‭●‬ ‭Comprehensive‬‭Rationale:‬‭It‬‭explains‬‭how‬‭these‬‭issues‬‭contribute‬‭to‬‭the‬‭proposal’s‬‭rationale,‬‭using‬
‭data (i.e. Demand Analysis, Reports, etc.) to underscore the need to address the problem.‬
‭●‬ ‭Emphasis‬‭and‬‭Importance:‬ ‭This‬‭strongly‬‭underscores‬‭the‬‭significance‬‭of‬‭the‬‭identified‬‭issues‬‭and‬
‭the imperative to find solutions.‬

‭1.3. Project Goals and Objectives‬


‭Must‬‭be‬‭3-5‬‭statements,‬‭in‬‭bullet‬‭form,‬‭of‬‭intended‬‭ideal‬‭conditions‬‭or‬‭outcomes‬‭that‬‭will‬‭be‬‭achieved‬‭once‬‭the‬
p‭ roject has been completed. Objectives need to be‬‭SMART.‬
‭Specific:‬‭clearly stated with specific outcomes.‬
‭Measurable:‬‭so the end of each objective can be identified‬‭and measured against success criteria.‬
‭Achievable:‬ ‭attainable‬‭given‬‭the‬‭available‬‭resources,‬‭time,‬‭and‬‭technology‬‭in‬‭accordance‬‭with‬‭required‬
‭quality.‬

‭4.2. Building Systems‬


‭ iscussion‬‭on‬‭the‬‭integration‬‭of‬‭different‬‭building‬‭systems‬‭such‬‭as‬‭environmental‬‭systems,‬‭structural‬‭systems,‬
D
‭utility‬‭systems,‬‭materials,‬‭and‬‭other‬‭technical‬‭issues‬‭that‬‭will‬‭foster‬‭development‬‭in‬‭the‬‭design‬‭project.‬ ‭It‬‭should‬
‭describe‬ ‭uses‬ ‭and‬ ‭spaces‬ ‭in‬‭your‬‭building‬‭that‬‭may‬‭place‬‭important‬‭and‬‭even‬‭unique‬‭demands‬‭on‬‭structural,‬
‭environmental control, and life-safety systems designs for the project.‬

‭4.2.1. Environmental Systems‬


I‭dentify‬ ‭areas‬ ‭of‬ ‭particular‬ ‭focus‬ ‭as‬ ‭they‬ ‭relate‬ ‭to‬ ‭the‬ ‭design‬ ‭project‬ ‭such‬ ‭as‬ ‭climatic‬ ‭issues‬ ‭for‬ ‭the‬ ‭site,‬

‭Chapter 5: Architectural Design Development and Programming‬

‭5.1. Architectural Design Development‬

‭5.1.1. Site Planning and Site Programming‬


‭ stablishment‬ ‭of‬ ‭site‬ ‭requirements‬ ‭and/or‬ ‭regulations‬ ‭in‬ ‭relation‬ ‭to‬ ‭the‬ ‭project‬ ‭being‬ ‭proposed‬ ‭and‬
E
‭location‬‭of‬‭the‬‭chosen‬‭site.‬‭Items‬‭to‬‭be‬‭studied‬‭shall‬‭include,‬‭but‬‭is‬‭not‬‭limited‬‭to,‬‭the‬‭Open‬‭Space‬‭Ratio,‬
‭Floor‬‭Area‬‭Ratio,‬‭Permeability‬‭Ratio,‬‭Parking‬‭Ratio,‬‭Site‬‭Zoning,‬‭Density,‬‭and‬‭other‬‭provisions‬‭stipulated‬
‭in the Rule 7 and 8 of the National Building Code of the Philippines (PD1096).‬

‭5.1.2. Building Space Program‬


‭ stablishment‬‭of‬‭building‬‭space‬‭requirements‬‭in‬‭relation‬‭to‬‭the‬‭computed‬‭user‬‭demand;‬‭furniture,‬‭fixture,‬
E
‭and‬‭equipment‬‭space‬‭requirements;‬‭and‬‭expected‬‭flow‬‭of‬‭movement‬‭of‬‭various‬‭user‬‭types‬‭depending‬‭on‬
‭the‬ ‭project‬ ‭type.‬‭Items‬‭to‬‭be‬‭studied‬‭shall‬‭include,‬‭but‬‭is‬‭not‬‭limited‬‭to,‬‭the‬‭Organizational‬‭Chart,‬‭Space‬

D
‭cultural, social, ethical, health and safety, viability and sustainability.‬

‭5.2. Design Features‬

‭5.2.1. Architectural Character‬


‭The‬‭character‬‭of‬‭the‬‭building‬‭depends‬‭upon‬‭its‬‭capacity‬‭to‬‭express‬‭a‬‭particular‬‭function‬‭and‬‭status.‬ ‭It‬‭can‬
‭be‬‭expressed‬‭in‬‭a‬‭variety‬‭of‬‭styles.‬ ‭In‬‭an‬‭appropriate‬‭setting,‬‭a‬‭building,‬‭through‬‭its‬‭character‬‭and‬‭style,‬
‭should be capable of evoking abstract values, uniqueness and aesthetics.‬

‭5.2.2. Innovations‬
‭Application‬ ‭of‬ ‭new‬‭technological‬‭advances,‬‭methods‬‭and/or‬‭design‬‭strategies‬‭that‬‭will‬‭make‬‭the‬‭building‬
‭design/features exceptional.‬

‭5.2.3. Highlights‬
‭Issues‬‭to‬‭address‬‭include:‬‭massing,‬‭roof‬‭form,‬‭materials,‬‭fenestration‬‭strategies,‬‭and‬‭structural‬‭expression.‬
‭It‬‭is‬‭typically‬‭more‬‭useful‬‭to‬‭explore‬‭a‬‭variety‬‭of‬‭approaches,‬‭rather‬‭than‬‭completing‬‭a‬‭greater‬‭level‬‭of‬‭detail‬
‭for one approach.‬

‭5.2.4. Material Concept‬


‭It‬‭is‬‭the‬‭brief‬‭description‬‭of‬‭the‬‭proposed‬‭building‬‭materials‬‭to‬‭be‬‭used.‬ ‭These‬‭should‬‭be‬‭expressed‬‭at‬‭a‬
‭conceptual level on elevations or models.‬

‭5.3. Initial Design Translation‬


‭ iscussion‬‭of‬‭theories,‬‭concepts,‬‭philosophies,‬‭and‬‭considerations‬‭that‬‭shall‬‭be‬‭applied‬‭to‬‭the‬‭proposed‬‭project.‬
D
‭This‬ ‭shall‬‭include,‬‭but‬‭is‬‭not‬‭limited‬‭to‬‭the‬‭overall‬‭philosophy‬‭to‬‭be‬‭applied‬‭to‬‭the‬‭design‬‭and‬‭the‬‭translation‬‭of‬
‭this‬ ‭philosophy‬ ‭to‬‭specific‬‭design‬‭considerations‬‭and‬‭techniques‬‭to‬‭achieve‬‭these‬‭considerations;‬‭the‬‭planning‬
‭theory‬‭to‬‭be‬‭applied‬‭to‬‭organize‬‭the‬‭site;‬‭the‬‭structural‬‭system‬‭best‬‭suited‬‭to‬‭the‬‭project;‬‭the‬‭form‬‭concept‬‭to‬‭be‬
‭applied‬‭to‬‭the‬‭structures‬‭themselves‬‭including‬‭its‬‭translation‬‭from‬‭the‬‭idea‬‭and/or‬‭original‬‭form‬‭to‬‭the‬‭final‬‭form‬‭of‬
‭the structure; and the finishes to be used to achieve the desired design character.‬
