Architectural Defense for Design 10.
Thesis students are not allowed to consult or set up a consultation appointment with other faculty members
and/or with any Industry Lecturers unless accompanied by a referral slip (Form-3) completely filled-out and

the referral slip.
7.0
7.1
Types of Proposal/Thesis
The proposal/thesis shall revolve around the following general areas of architectural study but shall not be
limited to:
7.1.1
7.1.2
7.1.3
Other proposal/thesis not listed above shall be subject for approval by the Thesis Committee upon
the recommendation of the thesis adviser.
7.1.4
The proposal/thesis is subject to Degree of Difficulty to balance the inequities, perceived or real, of
awarding higher grades to simpler and less complex project.
7.2
The students shall prepare and present his proposal/thesis individually and/or by collaboration with other
thesis students. Collaborative works consist of two (2) to three (3) students tackling on one (1) Master
Development Plan in which the division of works can cover a separate Thesis. For example, in projects that
would involve 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 Thesis
Defense, each section should stand on its own and can be defended to produce a new body of knowledge
as a requirement for Thesis.
7.3
Two (2) or more students are allowed to present a similar type of proposal/thesis provided that their project
site, objectives, scope and limitation, design and research (conceptual framework) approaches and
8
solutions shall not be exactly the same. Likewise, two (2) or more students are allowed to choose the same
site provided that their Thesis projects or topics would not be the same.
7.4
Use of the Degree of Difficulty. The Degree of Difficulty shall be used only during the Thesis
Deliberation. It shall take the form of a point with a corresponding multiplier, which are as follows:
Degree of Difficulty
Multiplier
1
0.95
2
0.975
3
1.00
4
1.025
5
1.05
After the Thesis Deliberation, the assigned Thesis Committee member in the panel is tasked to
compute for the final grade of the candidate. To determine the Deliberation Grade, the average of
the grades given by the three jurors (average grade) is multiplied by the multiplier corresponding to
the given Degree of Difficulty.
7.4.2
Guidelines for Determining the Degree of Difficulty. These guidelines were derived from SPP
Document 202 of the IRR of R.A. 9266. These should not be seen and perceived as absolute and
final provisions but as a representation of the simplest variation of the building type. In the event
that the Thesis Project combines two or more types, the higher Degree of Difficulty should be used.
If the project is a complex of similar types, then the Degree of Difficulty for this type can be taken
one step higher.
The Project Title, and the proposed Project Scope of Work and Space Programming should be
checked and evaluated for these are the primary bases in determining the Degree of Difficulty of a
Thesis Project.
7.4.3
7.5
List of Project Type and its Degree of Difficulty. (please refer to Appendix A) The heading
Project Type represents a project of a single type. These may be continued to produce a more
complex project.
Site and Project Justification (for Architectural Design-Based) is the brief description of what, why and
how the thesis proponent has chosen the proposal/thesis with in depth and logical study on the proposed
site/location based on the principles and objectives of highest and best use for the site. The highest and
best use considers only the uses that are legally permissible (meeting zoning, health and public
restrictions), physically possible (has adequate size, soil conditions, and accessibility), and is
economically feasible (income and/or socio-economic benefits are anticipated). The application and/or
employment of alternative and viable project development strategies/initiatives are highly encouraged.

Chapter 1: Introduction
7.5.1.1 Background of the Study
Comprehensive discussion to explain to the reader what the study is all about, by
funneling the topic from general to specific, highlighting the existing conditions in the area
of study.
7.5.1.2 Problem Setting
1. Statement of the Problem
Clear itemization of existing problems observed in the area that would justify the need
for the project being proposed.
2. Scope and Limitations of the Study
Brief discussion on the exact coverage of the study, emphasizing what is included
and not included, to avoid any ambiguities. This may include, but is not limited to, the
detailed project classification (e.g. tertiary-level hospital, socialized housing, BPO
building for graphics/animation and CSR, TechVoc educational facilities for Industrial
Arts, etc.); and the target market classification (e.g. mobility-impaired users, informal
settlers living along the Citys waterways, public high school students, foreign/local
tourists, etc.)
3. Assumptions
Discussion of items or facts that are related to the project or area and are assumed to
be true or will push through in support of the feasibility of the proposed project. This
may include, but is not limited to, future government plans (e.g. a government plan to
construct an airport could be the basis for the assumption that the number of tourists
in the area will increase once the airport is constructed, hence, will justify a proposed
hotel).
4. Project Goals
Goals are broad statements applied to a project. Goals are the "what" of the process.
Goals are desired outcomes whilst Objectives are a set of activities for achieving
goals.
5. Objectives of the Study
Must be 3-5 statements, in bullet form, of intended ideal conditions or outcomes that
will be achieved once the project has been completed. Objectives need to be
SMART - Specific: clearly stated with specific outcomes. Measurable: so the end of
each objective can be identified and measured against success criteria. Achievable:
attainable given the available resources, time, and technology in accordance with
required quality. Realistic: sensible, pragmatic, and prioritized activities for achieving
set goals. Timely: planned and attained tasks according to base line and
prioritization of hierarchy of needs.
10
6. Significance of the Study
Discussion of the possible benefit that will be gained once the project is completed,
particularly to its immediate users (i.e. the people who will actually be using the
structures / spaces in the project); the community (i.e. the area where the project will
be located regardless of whether its residents are the intended users or not); and to
the field of architecture (i.e. contribution of the project to the existing knowledge-base
about the particular architectural project / structure proposed)
7. Definition of Terms, Acronyms & Abbreviations
List of terminologies used in the study with their operative definition or how the term
was used in context of the study, instead of dictionary definition, to avoid any
ambiguities with other possible meanings of the particular terminology and to
minimize excessive verbiage (e.g. disabled visually and/or auditory-impaired
persons; students students enrolled in Grades 11 and 12; etc.)
7.5.2
11
7.5.3
7.6
Architectural Research Problem (for Architectural Research-Based)- is brief description of what, why
and how the thesis proponent has chosen the proposal/thesis together with the in depth and logical
presentation of its conceptual framework, detailing significantly the related literature and studies, research
paradigm, hypothesis, assumptions, definition of terms and the initial methodology.
