ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PROBLEM
I. Introduction:
Urban growth has evolved around the available forms of transportation. Large
metropolises first developed in and around the Port areas, then urbanization spread up along
the way. Rivers followed by intervention of Railroads and railroad cities, then later super
highways were developed and gives a great help to mobilization and accessibility from north
to south. Then followed by the large and sprawling Urban Suburbs. Today, urban growth has
accelerated in and around airports.
As a call to the present problem not only with public passenger transport, logistics has
also been affected by traffic congestions in highly urbanized metropolis. Take into account the
case with the Metro Manila area wherein traffic jam has always been a major problem specially
during peak hours.
Global Gateway Logistics City now represents the latest Urban Planning with its full
integrated, mixed use, multi-disciplinary city comprised of a Logistic Park, Business Park, Aero
Park and a Town Center, making it the showcase of the Philippines.
II. Objectives:
To design an International Airport, that would somehow resolve the problem of traffic
congestion in the metropolis. And at the same time to create a Terminal Hub that networks
economic facet of the country from north to south and will probably be a connecting gateway
to the Subic Bay Port and would accelerate logistics on the business side.
To Incorporate Pertinent Laws as part of the criteria, especially the transition levels
used to determine the building heights located near airport strips and runways.
To Observe the precautionary measures and restrictions for safety flight operations
likewise with passenger and public security.
To Design a Green Building, considering airports are high in energy consumption.
`To give consideration to the flow of traffic (Passengers and vehicles) inside and
outside the building which gives a great impact on the surroundings.
III. Setting:
The site is prominently situated in CLARK FIELD, in Angeles City. Covering over 4
million square meters which will be the very first Aerotropolis of the country. Served by the
Mc Arthur Highway and the SCTEX.
Notes:
This method, which is used in some present-d&y airports, consists of a train of ,::arts designed
lo carry passengers or its may consist of the use of buses to deliver the passengers to a
remote aircraft parking position. The terminal building can be .;:ither a one:-level or two-level
structure.
This method is also used for !he wide-hodiec aircraft a;,d will accept all three aircrafts as listed
above. It is based upon the concept of a fixed corridor for access to tile front two passenger
doors and a cantilevered jet way over the wing to reach the back door. Here again, the gate
position requires a power-in anr! push-out conditions.
