Introduction
Cancer

is the third leading cause of morbidity and

mortality in the Philippines

Leading

cancer sites/types are lung, breast, cervix,

liver, colon and rectum, prostate, stomach, oral
cavity, ovary and leukemia

There

is at present a low cancer prevention

consciousness and most cancer patients seek
consultation only at advanced stages.

Cancer

survival rates are relatively low.

Description
Panay is one of the 16 municipalities in the

Province of Capiz
with coordinate 11 28'55.79" latitude, 112
47'46.30" longitude, 11 36'28.74" latitude,
and 122 47'59" longitude
along the coastal areas of Northern Panay
Island with Roxas City on the northwest,
Sibuyan Sea on the northeast, the
Municipality of Pontevedra and Panitan on
the south, and the Visayan Sea on the
southeast

SITE AREA AND LOCATION

ACCESSIBILITY
Panay is accessible through any land
transportation passing the Capiz East Road.

From Roxas City, it

can be reached via
jeepney, tricycle or car
in 15 minutes(7.5 km).
The site is accessible
either through a public
or private mean of
transportation and about
7 kilometers from the
Panays
Sta.
Monica
Church.

Topography, Slope and Elevation

The Municipality of Panay has generally
flat topography. 97.8% of the total land
area has a slope of 0-3%. Only barangays
Binangig and Bato have a Slope of 3-5%.
Practically, every portion of the
municipality has an elevation of 3-5 meters
above sea level that gives the reason of it
being lowland in nature.

ROADS

The concrete paved Capiz East Road which links the

municipality with Roxas City and the neighboring towns of
the First District of Capiz is in good condition. The entire
national road is concrete with 32% concrete with asphalt
overlay. The whole municipal road is also concrete and in
good condition.

Power Supply
All barangays are already energized and
getting power from Capiz Electric Cooperative,
Inc (CAPELCO). As of 2008, 6,259 households
have electricity.

Water Supply
As of 2008, 31 out of 42 barangays have
already access to water provided by the Metro
Roxas Water District(MRWD). Based on their
records, there are 2,437 MRWD concessionaires
in Panay.

Flooding
Having a generally flat, low-lying terrain,
Panay is susceptible to flooding especially
during rainy season. Other reason for the
flooding in the area are the increase run-off
from the other highland municipalities.

Based

on these findings, Brgy. Pawa is not a

prone area for flooding because of the fact that
it is a beach, the water drains directly into the
beach.

Orientation
The site for the proposed hospice is

facing the east. Thus existing

entrance of the site is facing the
South.

Weaknesses

o Hospice facilities are limited only for CANCER

PATIENTS and their families
Opportunities

Can give or provide work for nurses in the country / city

Residences can also benefit

Threats
o

People are not familiar with the project near residents

might take long to adapt or adjust with the study

Spaces Consideration
Patient and Family Support Spaces - providing a
comfortable living environment not only for the
patient but also for the family as well
considering they will be spending quite some
time in the space as well. Spaces to consider:
Reception
Lounge
Private Consulting Area
Private Gowned Area
Personal Treatment Space for Chemotherapy

Spaces Consideration
Community

and Education

Small meeting rooms

Large group conference rooms for consulting

Natural Lighting/ Daylighting

Buildings

should be designed to maximise

the amount of natural light that enters the
building, particularly workplaces. This can
lead to significant energy savings by
reducing the need for artificial lighting and
has been shown to improve productivity.

Efficient AirConditioning
Wherever possible air-conditioning
systems should incorporate zoning controls
which enable the system

to be adjusted to different
heat loads in different
parts of the building and to
be shut off when areas are
S not in use. This reduces
Y the amount of energy used
S in cooling or heating air
T unnecessarily and
E improves the comfort of
M building users.

Building Technologies
Kite

turbine

Kite Power is a cost-effective renewable

energy solution with a low environmental
footprint. The inflatable wing and the
traction tether are made from strong but
flexible lightweight materials. In contrast to
conventional wind turbines, this tensile
structure is not obstructing the view. It is an
ideal basis for a highly mobile wind energy
system

Holistic Architecture
An

approach to design which

considers the system being
designed as an interconnected
whole which is also part of
something larger.

Design Concept
Functional Concept

The concept of the whole design of the proposed

Hospice Care Center is a tree, simply because it
symbolizes life . The meaning of the tree of life as
perceived by people from different faiths, belief
systems, and cultures resonates with a simple yet
strong message of staying connected and united. The
symbol indicates that all forms of life are connected
through cosmic energy and that humans should live in
harmony with the rest of the world.
The arrangement of the major zones; Patients Zone,
Treatment Zone and Recreational Zone of the hospice
are based on the function and characteristics of a tree.

Design Concept
Form Concept

The form concept of the General

Building and other villas and structures is
the alignment of form of a endorphin, a
positive or happy hormone of the body.
The shape of the hormone will help to
show the interconnected and relationship
of the spaces in the design.
