THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

This chapter involved the problem and its background which included the introduction,

statement of the problem, and design objectives of the project.

Introduction

Education, a multifaceted discipline from which an entity derives its knowledge into

inputs of life survival, portrays a vital role in developing a genuine environment of continual

growth and convenience. As an agent of change, education holds an array of importance in the

provision of lingual, vocational, and technical skills demanded through the years. Not only does

it possess influence on the lives of the people and the community, but it also marks the

emerging presence of adaptive technology. In the modern world, education has been fulfilled in

schools not until the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic where almost all establishments

were shut down including schools. Most opted for online learning yet still some are left behind,

leaving a clear representation of a call for inclusive cultivation. Fused with technological

advancements, innovations are still ongoing and yet to discover ways of building an adaptive

area for education openly available to all under any circumstances.

Technology, as a moving factor for a lap of luxury, has already led people and places

into pieces of remarkable transformations and improved life cycles, one of which is education. It

has revolutionized the ways how education is bound to both learners and teachers. The

introduction of internet based education and web operated systems modernized teaching and

4
learning in the name of efficiency and accessibility. This institutes an opportunity to science,

architecture, and technology, aided to sustain knowledge in the most efficient manner.

Bracketed under the category of architecture, schools must be diplomatic and must be

assessed to satisfy the demands of the users. Over the years, it has been transparent how

technology elevates schools as a center for knowledge making. Schools have become all

around with computer aided visualizers, audio-visual telecommunications, and various applied

sciences. This has extended to the ideology of inducing technology in designing and

constructing schools. Construction anchored by values of tech-based compositions paved the

way for flexible and multi-purposive amenities an establishment has to offer. This also

commences the vision of reducing costs while producing the highest quality at the same instant.

Consequently, technology embarks a diverse impact on the world's societal resources.

The supplies stoop low and the environment quality has reduced from time to time. The positive

values set radiated an unexpected aftermath where almost every aspect of life became

challenged. Technology, which once was a catalyst for development, discharged innumerable

effects to the entirety. Having given the possibilities of both good and bad, what is in stall for our

education system in the next few years with the occurrence of technology?

Background of the Study

Lipa, officially known as the City of Lipa is a 1st class component city in the province of

Batangas, Philippines. Bounded with already existing and developed infrastructures, it is a great

candidate for supplying the means of every citizen’s short-term and long-term necessity. One of

these opportunities includes the rise of commercially induced buildings, recreational facilities,

religiously inclined amenities, and areas for schools and educational institutions. Approached as

5
an asset to future development, Lipa City is a location chosen to house the construction of

Filipino School for Kids in 2050.

Statement of the Problem

This study assessed the integrations arising on the architecture of schools in 2050.

Specifically, the study sought to answer the following questions:

1. What will the schools and the educational curriculum be in 2050?

2. What architectural design concept sends forth the project’s vision, principle, and ideals?

3. What architectural design strategies are suitable for the schools of the future?

4. What plans of action will the design strategies impose to benefit the schools?

Significance of the Study

The study sought to answer the architectural demands that will be posed in the field of

education by the time when it is already in 2050. The school organizational structure, future

teachers, future learners, and future researchers will primarily benefit with the findings of the

study.

To the School Organizational Structure, the study will be beneficial to the school

organizational structure in reducing efforts directly proportional to the acquired results in the

academe through adaptive technological architecture foreseen to be implemented in the future.

To the future teachers, the study may affix building strategies in line with the promotion

of advanced teaching pedagogies and educational methodologies anchored by the integration

of responsive architecture.

6
 To the future learners, this study aims to satisfy the demands of the academe in the

next 28 years coexistent to the ecological, environmental, and health conditions arising in the

duration narrative. This has set a goal to develop specialized facilities for specialized use of

service, in highest hopes of producing academically proficient students.

To the future researchers, this study may be beneficial to the future researchers and

researches in accordance with the architectural field. This may suggest principles, ideologies,

and strategies that may be induced to the future of Filipino schools.

Project and Design Objectives

This section consists of the objectives, visions, and narratives of the researchers

anchored to the design problem. The project sought:

● To design a learning center that is inclusive to all types of students under any

environmental, educational,and health conditions.

● To provide high performing buildings both architecturally and technologically in the ease

of circulation and function.

● To inculcate history, tradition, culture, heritage and philosophy through the architectural

design.

● To provide spaces designated for both formal and informal extracurricular academic

interaction between faculty and students.

● To utilize technology innovations and establish a flexible environment to cater the

students' needs.

● To pose options for outdoor and intimate spaces depending on the users’ preferences.

● To institute areas centric in promoting health issues such as isolation rooms and

advanced clinical facilities.

7
What would be the education system in 2050? Propose a learning center design on those

grounds.

“In the next 28 years I see schools using technology as a tool to extend beyond the

boundaries of virtual environments and allow students to travel or visit other countries around

the world by just staying in one facility inside a building. Different information and data can be

collected through the use of modern technology with the help of the internet. This thing can be

done by using such facilities or rooms specially designed for specific and designated tasks. AI

or artificial intelligence can be a substitute lecturer in case the physical teacher cannot attend

the class. There is also a designated area for those students that want to attend class without

being physically present with the use of virtual reality. And lastly, a quicker way of traveling

would be available from schools to different kinds of places. Everything that is mentioned can

lead to a brighter future for the students at that span of year.”

Isias M. Endaya

Proponent - Designer

“Assuming the years for the education system to develop is near, there would be factors

that would certainly be considered in planning a curriculum strong enough to face those

obstacles for a brighter future. (1) The arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic and how it heavily

affected the daily lives of the filipino students and other demographics alike led to many

debates. The enhancement of sanitary and health related protocols became more relevant and

is now a common practice to most individuals. (2) Physical distancing comes hand and hand

with personal space as part of the working environment or any public areas in general. (3) The

use of technology becoming more widespread is like a double-edged sword that may help or

break the system if not used accordingly. These are some of the newest factors that

encompasses the new normal for Filipino students. What more could the future bring? How

8
would the education system be more "systematic"? Skipping a few years forward, the schools

that are operating at these advanced age may have the following prospects: schools are

equipped with hi-tech devices to aid students and instructors for an improved and modulated

approach to learning; Automatic system for accessibility purposes such elevators, escalators,

motion-sensing fixtures and the likes may be present as well; and spaces within the school

grounds for isolation and sanitation for a safer and healthier environment may accommodate the

users for any emergence of an unpredictable pandemic. It is unsure what the future exactly

holds, but the people in charge as well as every individual present for the coming generations

may surely be prepared for what is to come.”

Elgian Louise M. Masagca

Proponent - Designer

“In 2050, I see technology as the primary moving factor in the academe. The future

academic set-up might be far-fetched from the current curriculum. Students may be able to

specialize in a course they pique interest in, thus giving birth to areas specified to a purpose.

These additional courses may include tech-based programs, which consequently requires an

area made advanced for execution. Moreover, the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic may

have been a vital consideration in the construction of future schools. Space requirements might

include facilities such as quarantine rooms, virtual classrooms, and improved medical facilities.

Also, careful planning in terms of areas dedicated to detachment and reattachment may take

place. Having given these notions, an accustomed learning center design fit to satisfy the

foreseen conditions must accentuate availSability to both learners and teachers under any

circumstances.”

 Scope and Limitation of the Study

The study focuses on the architectural development of schools specifically in the year

2050. In consideration of the technological aspects, health and education are two combined

principles the study is upholding. The expected users are the future learners and teachers aided

by the expected accumulation of artificially intelligent machineries.

This project is limited to the presentation of a mind map, drawing plan requirements,

concept board, interior perspective illustrations, site development plan, site analysis,

architectural programming, matrix diagram, bubble diagram, and scaled model.

The proponents exemplify architectural concept designs that correspond to the vision of

the project. Although, these design principles are not discussed with detailed engineering and

technical information.

8. Design Concepts regarding the geographical location of the regional area where it is

located.

● HYBRID, TROPICALIZED ARCHITECTURE

- Filipino design today is a hybrid of influences, not only from colonial architecture

but also from inspiration absorbed through an ever-growing array of platforms.

● NATURAL MATERIALS, SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES AND WIDE-OPEN SPACES

- Working with natural materials in creating pieces that reference nature, it is

pleasing to see sustainable practices becoming increasingly normalized,

especially in the context of health and environmental crises.

● SALVATION BY IMAGINATION

15
 - Just as no one definition of a personal style can encompass a lifetime of

metamorphoses, the concept of Filipino design continues to expand with time,

experience, and need. It would be interesting to see how it evolves post-COVID

a. Efficiency of the Education System as time progresses

Education is an important aspect of a country’s development; may it be at national, local,

or individual level, education is one of the most crucial foundations for anyone to stand their

ground in. As there are many variables that conflict with the betterment of the nation's education

system such as a global pandemic that concerns health, What road will the government take to

battle these certain circumstances for the next 23 years?

b. The future of building constructions

17
 Time is a phenomenon no one is capable of controlling, at least in a logical sense.

Therefore, with each passing year, the decline of resources for construction are inevitably nigh.

But that doesn’t mean that the opportunities for ways in developing future building materials are

decreasing as well. In hopes of reviving a safer and healthier environment for future generations

to experience, how will the choices in materials affect the appeal of upcoming facilities and

buildings more tactically and eco-friendly.

c. Planning and designing of School facilities

It is argued that a school’s physical design can contribute to the quality of the learning

environment, but several non-architectural factors also determine how well a given facility

serves as a setting for teaching and learning. Among numerous methods and applications for

controlling various spaces within the interior and exteriors of the school’s facilities in terms of

psychology and practicality, which one best suits the students the most?

d. Technology as a major contributor for innovation

The word ‘innovation’ is becoming more and more relevant the further this civilization

breaks boundaries and reaches new heights. It has been relieving mankind's living with

precision as manual labor turns optional, and ways of gathering data and information are a few

clicks away. With the fast phasing of technology, the future for education is just right around the

corner. What types of technological advancements would render beneficial results for future

learners aside from what is already provided nowadays?
