PART I : PARAGRAPH : Discuss the topics listed below in at least 150 words, in the context of your thesis. Credit is 20
points for a satisfactory presentation. Write by hand, in block, capital letters in BLUE INK. Use the front face
of this LEGAL SIZED paper.

1. Building administration during construction period.

THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE "RETIREMENT LIVING: ILIGAN CITY HOME FOR THE AGED"
ENCOMPASSES MULTIFACETED RESPONSIBILITIES CRUCIAL FOR THE WELL-BEING OF ELDERLY
RESIDENTS. THIS INVOLVES ADEPT FACILITY MANAGEMENT, ENSURING A SAFE AND NURTURING
ENVIRONMENT, AND PROVIDING ESSENTIAL SERVICES TAILORED TO THEIR NEEDS. EFFICIENT
STAFFING, SCHEDULING, AND MAINTAINING RESIDENT WELFARE ARE PARAMOUNT. FINANCIAL
MANAGEMENT ENSURES SUSTAINABILITY, WITH CAREFUL BUDGETING AND ADHERENCE TO
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS GUARANTEE A COMFORTABLE LIVING
SPACE, WHILE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FOSTERS A SENSE OF BELONGING AND PURPOSE.
COMPLIANCE WITH HEALTHCARE STANDARDS AND EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS ARE
IMPERATIVE FOR QUALITY CARE DELIVERY. THE ADMINISTRATION OF SUCH A FACILITY IN ILIGAN
CITY REQUIRES A DELICATE BALANCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL PROWESS, COMPASSION, AND
DEDICATION TO ENRICHING THE LIVES OF ITS RESIDENTS, ENSURING THEY EXPERIENCE THEIR
GOLDEN YEARS WITH DIGNITY AND CONTENTMENT.

2. Structural conceptualization on your thesis’ building.

IN THE REALM OF ARCHITECTURAL INNOVATION, ENVISIONING A CIRCULAR-STYLE TENSILE

STRUCTURE WITH A WATERLILY PETAL SHAPE IS A REMARKABLE FEAT. THIS STRUCTURAL CONCEPT
HARMONIZES AESTHETICS WITH FUNCTIONALITY, PROMISING ELEGANCE, AND INGENUITY. AT ITS
CORE, THE DESIGN FEATURES A TENSILE STRUCTURE DELICATELY CURVED TO MIMIC THE
GRACEFUL FORM OF WATERLILY PETALS. INTERNALLY, A NETWORK OF COLUMNS, WALLS, AND
BEAMS PROVIDES ESSENTIAL SUPPORT, ENSURING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY WHILE MAINTAINING
VISUAL ALLURE. A DIAGRID SYSTEM FURTHER ENHANCES STABILITY, DISTRIBUTING LOADS
EFFICIENTLY WHILE ENHANCING THE BUILDING'S AESTHETIC APPEAL. TENSION RINGS ENCIRCLING
THE STRUCTURE REINFORCE RESILIENCE AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL FORCES, ENSURING LONGEVITY
AND SAFETY. MATERIAL SELECTION, SUCH AS HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL AND ADVANCED COMPOSITES,
BALANCES DURABILITY WITH DESIGN ASPIRATIONS. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS LIKE WIND AND
SEISMIC CONSIDERATIONS INFORM EVERY ASPECT OF THE DESIGN, RESULTING IN A STRUCTURAL
MASTERPIECE THAT EXEMPLIFIES ARCHITECTURAL INNOVATION AND ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE.

PART II: LINE DRAWING: Make a SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN on your thesis building’s location. Show roads fronting
your property and the required setbacks/easements, etc. Draw by hand in any applicable scale. Use the back
portion of this sheet. Credit is 30 points.
