 I. INTRODUCTION

➢ ART IS A DEEPLY PERSONAL EXPRESSION, SERVING AS A MEANS TO

COMMUNICATE INTRICATE CONCEPTS BEYOND WORDS. PHILOSOPHERS
ARGUE THAT IT DISTINGUISHES HUMANS FROM ANIMALS, REFLECTING
INTELLIGENCE AND CONSCIOUSNESS. THROUGHOUT HISTORY, ART HAS
PLAYED A PIVOTAL ROLE IN SOCIETAL DEVELOPMENT AND WELL-BEING.
IN THE PRESENT DAY, THE PHILIPPINES FACES A PERCEPTION THAT ART IS
A MERE HOBBY, BUT ITS SIGNIFICANCE BECOMES EVIDENT AS A COPING
MECHANISM DURING CHALLENGING TIMES LIKE DEPRESSION AND THE
PANDEMIC. RECOGNIZING THIS, THE GOVERNMENT OF CAVITE PLANS TO
ESTABLISH "THE CAVITE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL OF THE ARTS,"
INTEGRATING ART INTO THE SECONDARY GENERAL CURRICULUM. THIS
INSTITUTION AIMS TO TRAIN AND NURTURE 1200-1500 ART ENTHUSIASTS
NATIONWIDE, FOSTERING TALENTS IN CREATIVE WRITING, DANCE, MUSIC,
THEATER, AND VISUAL ARTS. THE GOVERNMENT HAS SELECTED A 5HA
LOT FOR THE SCHOOL'S CONSTRUCTION, ENVISIONING IT AS A KEY
PLAYER IN THE CAVITE UNIVERSITY BELT SYSTEM, WITH PROXIMITY TO
THE FUTURE DAANG HARI LRT STATION.

II. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

HARMONIOUS AESTHETICS
CREATE A DESIGN THAT SEAMLESSLY BLENDS WITH THE NATURAL
SURROUNDINGS, INCORPORATING SUSTAINABLE AND ECO-FRIENDLY ELEMENTS TO
ENHANCE THE AESTHETIC APPEAL. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO ENSURE THE ARCHITECTURAL
FOOTPRINT COMPLEMENTS THE LANDSCAPE, FOSTERING A SENSE OF UNITY BETWEEN
THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND NATURE.

SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES
PRIORITIZE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION
TECHNIQUES TO MINIMIZE THE ECOLOGICAL IMPACT.

FUNCTIONAL OPEN SPACES

DESIGN OPEN SPACES THAT ENCOURAGE INTERACTION WITH NATURE,
PROVIDING STUDENTS AND FACULTY AREAS FOR RELAXATION, REFLECTION, AND
ARTISTIC INSPIRATION. THESE SPACES SHOULD BE VERSATILE, ACCOMMODATING
VARIOUS ACTIVITIES AND FOSTERING A SENSE OF WELL-BEING AMONG THE SCHOOL
COMMUNITY.

FLEXIBILITY AND ADAPTABILITY

CREATE A DESIGN THAT ALLOWS FOR FUTURE EXPANSION AND ADAPTATION TO
CHANGING NEEDS.
 CONNECTIVITY AND ACCESSIBILITY
ENSURE EASY ACCESS TO THE INSTITUTION THROUGH WELL-PLANNED
TRANSPORTATION LINKS, PROMOTING CONNECTIVITY WITH THE WIDER COMMUNITY.
THE DESIGN SHOULD PRIORITIZE PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY PATHWAYS, INTEGRATING
WITH THE NEARBY DAANG HARI LRT STATION AND ENHANCING THE SCHOOL'S
ACCESSIBILITY FOR STUDENTS, STAFF, AND VISITORS.

EDUCATIONAL INTEGRATION
FACILITATE A SEAMLESS INTEGRATION OF ART EDUCATION INTO THE
ARCHITECTURAL LAYOUT. ENSURE THAT EACH ARTISTIC DISCIPLINE HAS DEDICATED
SPACES THAT INSPIRE CREATIVITY AND COLLABORATION.

CULTURAL REPRESENTATION
INCORPORATE ELEMENTS OF CAVITE'S RICH HISTORY AND CULTURE INTO THE
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, CREATING A SPACE THAT CELEBRATES LOCAL IDENTITY.

III. SITE PROFILE ANALYSIS

THE SITE OF FLAT 5.00Ha (FIVE HECTARE) LOT OR 50,000.00 SQM (FIFTY THOUSAND
SQUARE METERS) TOTAL LOT AREA/TLA IS ALMOST RECTANGULAR. THE 250 M WIDE
FRONTAGE FACES NORTHWEST WHILE THE OTHER 200.00M WIDE FRONTAGE FACES
NORTHEAST.
THE SITE WILL BE LOCATED ALONG DAANG HARI ROAD, IMUS, CAVITE. THE SITE
OF THE PROJECT WILL BE LOCATED NEAR VERMOSA SPORTS HUB AND A HOME
IMPROVEMENT STORE.

IV. BUILDING MATERIALS

WOOD – A NATURAL ORGANIC MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN USED FOR MANY
CENTURIS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS, BRIDGES, AND VARIETY OF
OTHER STRUCTURES.

GLASS – ALSO USED AS BUILDING MATERIAL. IT IS MOSTLY TYPICALLY USED AS

TRANSPARENT GLAZING MATERIAL IN THE BUILDING ENVELOPE, INCLUDING
WINDOWS IN THE EXTERIOR WALLS.

MASONRY – CONSISTS OF BUILDING STRUCTURES FROM SINGLE UNITS THAT ARE

LAID AND BOUND TOGETHER WITH MORTAR, BRICKS, STONES, AND CONCRETE
BLOCKS ARE THE MOST COMMON MATERIAL USED IN MASONRY CONSTRUCTION.

METAL – SOLID MATERIAL THAT ARE GENERALLY HARD, SHINY, MALLEABLE,

FUSIBLE, DUCTILE, AND HAVE GOOD ELECTRICAL AND THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY.

VII. FOREIGN RELATED LITERATURE

In 2001, Anderson and Helms stated the connection between academic success and art education in
the US setting. The review examines the effects of art education on cognitive abilities, academic motivation,
and overall academic achievement by drawing on a broad range of studies. According to the research, art
education is positively correlated with academic success, especially in domains like creativity, critical
thinking, and problem-solving. The review emphasizes how crucial it is to incorporate art education into the
entire curriculum to improve kids' academic performance.
The effect of arts-based treatments on children's and adolescents' health outcomes. The review looks
at a variety of research, such as those on the visual arts, music, dance, and drama, to find out how artistic
participation affects people's social, psychological, and physical well-being. The results show that arts-based
therapies can enhance quality of life, emotional health, and pain management, among other medical
outcomes. The analysis highlights the potential of art education in hospital settings to promote young
patients' holistic development and healing. (Darts, 2004)
The idea of "studio thinking" and how visual arts education can help develop disciplined mental
habits. The review investigates the dispositions and cognitive processes that are developed in art studio
environments, drawing on a synthesis of research papers. It lists eight mental habits that are created via
artistic practice, such as imagining, observing, and expressing. The review highlights how critical thinking
skills, creative problem-solving ability, and a deeper comprehension of the artistic process may all be
enhanced by incorporating studio thinking into art school courses. (Sheridan, 2013)
