MUNICIPAL HALL”

Prepared by:
Alexis P. Magno

ARCH 015 – ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
PROPOSED THREE (3)-STOREY MUNICIPAL HALL

The Municipal Government of Silang, Cavite owns an institutional lot located along J.P. Rizal
and B. Reyes Street Cavite owns an of Silang to have a municipal hall that will cater to and best.
There is a clamor from the pen the goal of "ease of doing business" within the locality.

The said lot has a total area of 7,200 square meters (120 m x 60 m). The design of the
municipal hall has to be with the same architectural character of the surroundings. The
parameters are as follows:
1. Lot area(s)-7,200 sqm (120 m x 60 m)
2. Floor-Area Ratio (FAR)-Two (2). This will determine the maximum allowable Groos Floor
Area (GFA).
3. No. of Storeys - no more than 3 Storeys
4. R.R.O.W-15 meters
5. Percentage of Site Occupancy (PSO) = maximum of 60% of the lot
6. Design based on the Architectural Character of the vicinity

MUNICIPAL HALL

- The Executive Building (Municipal Hall) houses the LGU offices imperative for
implementing government services which are headed by the Municipal Mayor who exert
leadership in local affairs.

- Establishment that use to provides for conducting local government business, services
and activities and related public services and activities, within offices, meeting rooms or
Council chambers.

- serve as venues for various activities such as conventions, sports events, circuses,
Broadway shows, dance companies, symphonies, and operas.

LOCATION HISTORY

Its old jurisdiction covers today’s municipalities of Indang, General Trias and Maragondon
which was Silang’s barrios then; with Masilao (Amadeo) and Mendez as it was sitio’s of Indang,
Sta. Cruz de Malabon (Tanza) as it was once part of San Francisco de Malabon (General Trias)
and Magallanes and Ternate as it was once part of the locale of Maragondon. During 17th
century, Silang comprised a territory of over 60, 000 hectares.

Still talking about jurisdiction, it was not purely civil in nature but more of religion-political.
Territories’ establishment are classified two-ways: Fundacion Ecclesiastica and its consequent
Fundacion Civil. Lands in the province, although under the presence of a colonial civil authority
was really under the subtleties of stalwart missionaries (Jesuits and Recollects). Their mission
covers the aforementioned localities which in turn becomes an identifiable territorial jurisdiction.
Nonetheless, it is safe to say that jurisdiction of Silang covers entirely of what is known today as
the 3rd District of Cavite and some parts of the second.

In Fr. Cornelio Matanguihan’s, A Short History of the Parish of Saint Gregory the Great in
Indang Cavite, Philippines, the barrio of Indang was granted separation in 1655. The locals of
Indang found it difficult to conduct business and to attend religious services in the poblacion of
Silang given the distance. This led to a petition for the conversion of the barrio into a town. In
1727, barrio Maragondon separated which was under the Recollects then. San Francisco de
Malabon (General Trias) became a town in 1748. Barrio Latag or Carmona today became a
separate municipality on 1857. Masilao or Amadeo was still a barrio of Silang until 1872 when it
became a separate municipality.

GUIDELINES IN THE PLANNING AND DESIGN OF A MUNICIPAL HALL

FACILITIES IN THE PHILIPPINES (TIME SAVERS BUILDING TYPES BOOKS)

Steps to be taken in planning and constructing a city hall are

(1) determining need
(2) determining space requirements
(3) selecting an architect
(4) acquiring a site
(5) approving layout, design, and architectural features
(6) developing a financial plan

These steps are not a one-two-three process; frequently they must be done simultaneously. It is
important to have an idea of what is wanted before selecting an architect, but the architect can be
helpful in delineating wants. It is important to remember that the city hall must last 60 years or
more. The following "dos and don'ts" provide a guide to officials engaged in planning a new city
hall.

DO:

1.Locate the city hall where it will be most convenient and if possible, where land values are
reasonable.
2.Be prepared to provide the architect with information on departments to be housed, the number
of employees, types of furnishings and equipment, and special requirements such as vault and
storage space.
3. Provide ample off-street parking space for both employees and the public.
4. Put most or all city department head. quarters in the city hall.
5. Provide for structural expansion end flexibility in office layout.
6. Plan the city hall from the inside out with emphasis on work flow, convenience to the public,
and convenience for employees.
7. Provide for the comfort and efficiency of employees with controlled ventilation and adequate
lighting.
8. Provide for employee lounges and rest rooms.
9. Use materials, construction, and furnishings which make the city hall easy to maintain.
10. Provide open, unobstructed counters for transactions with the public.

DON'T:

1. Don't locate in an area of declining property values except when part of a comprehensive
urban renewal program.
2. Don't try to remodel an old post office, school building, convention hall, or other building
designed for some other special use.
3. Don't forget that the city hall is an office building, not a monument or an ornament.
4. Don't underestimate space needs; the average commercial office building lasts 67 years.

5. Don't tie up valuable space with indoor pistol ranges, drive-through garages, private exits,
wide corridors, and other gadgets.
6. Don't cut up the city hall into cubbyholes for minor officials.
7. Don't build the city hall over two stories in height If at all possible.
8. Don't let the public come in contact with police or criminal activities.
9. Don't provide in the main lobby any facilities, such as a cigar and soft drink stand, which
encourage loiter.

DETERMINING NEED
The need for a new city hall may seem obvious to those who spend their working hours at the
city hall. Ceilings are high; heating costs are twice what they should be: space originally meant
for storage has been converted to offices; electrical wiring violates code provisions; and the
present facility is just old anyway. All of this-and more besides-may be true, but what is not
known is how extensive the need is. This must be determined by careful study. In determining
the need for a city hall alternate courses of action should be studied.

Factors Influencing Need Determining the extent of need involves two areas: (1) condition of
building, and (2) space needs. The condition of the building is the easiest to evaluate. Things to
be considered are type of construction, structural condition, electrical wiring, heating and
ventilating, and facilities such as rest rooms. Nothing may be seriously wrong and a new facility
still needed, but it is important to know these points. Careful and professional review may bring
factors to light heretofore not considered. At an early stage it is important to have some idea of
space needs. This can be determined in general terms by having each department submit their
space needs for review and study. If departments are already crowded, additional space needed
now is not hard to estimate. The real problem in determining apace needs is what will be needed
in the future. The building may be adequate now, but will it be in 5, 10, 20 years? Few cities
decide to build a new city hall and do so almost immediately. Experience seems to indicate that a
new city hall is the out. growth of a number of years of careful planning and, once built, lasts a
long time. In estimating future needs not only must traditional services such as police and
building inspection be considered but also what future services the city may be required to
provide. One of the "do’s" is to provide for structural expansion. However, provision for such
expansion must be in reason, and should be based on projections of future needs. Knowledge of
the community and its people Is essential to space planning. City officials should know the
population projections for the next 20 or 25 years, the economic level of the community, and
present and probable social and economic characteristics.

SELECTING THE LOCATION OF THE CITY HALL

Civic Centers In selecting the location for a city hall, the first consideration is whether it should be
placed on a site by itself or whether it should be combined with a group of related buildings in a civic
center. The civic center has had great appeal to the city planner because it offers certain advantages and at
the same time provides for latitude in design. The buildings that are Included in civic centers range from a
grouping of strictly administrative offices and service buildings to a complex of office buildings,
auditoriums, libraries, and so on. The great advantage of a civic center is that the grouping of public
buildings may prove to be convenient to the public. In transacting business that requires visits to more
than one public agency. It also may result in one or more governmental units being able to use the
facilities of the other. Finally, it often is convenient to have certain facilities grouped together in order to
expedite in mental relation.

City-Country Building
The county-seat city should investigate the possibility of constructing one building to serve the
needs of both the city and the country. At least 40 cities and counties occupy the some building.
The city-county building has two major advantages. First, local governmental facilities are
together, which is frequently a convenience to the public and to city and county agencies that
have contact with each other. The second advantage is cost savings. Depending on conditions, a
joint building can be constructed for less money than two separate facilities when all costs are
considered: land, engineering and architectural fees, financing charges, and so on. Joint
occupancy can result in operating companies.

Location
The selection of a site for a city hall will be influenced by s number of circumstances. Some of
these conditions are limiting in nature, such as the availability of land. There are, however,
certain guiding principles that should be considered. When Tacoma and Pierce County decided
to build a city-county building the planned commissions of each governmental unit jointly
developed a set of location factors. The six applicable principles for a city hall location are as
follows:
1. "Government must serve end be accessible to the people . . ." Efficiency of service is related
to how convenient governmental facilities are for the majority of those citizens using the
facility.

2. "Since public services must serve every citizen as well as, and as conveniently as possible,
those activities must be located near the center of transportation and the center of business
activity. In the large city public transportation comes to a head in the central business
district. Major arterial streets are planned to bring people in and out of the city center. In
most cases the city hall should be located near public transportation, if any, and certainly
near major arterial streets. The city hall should be near the center of business activity
because this in where the principal users of the facility are most frequently located. As an
example, attorneys frequently must use records that are housed in city hall. A city should
determine what groups most often come to city hall and place the facility as close to those
groups as possible.

3. "Government offices must have integration with, not isolation from, other offices in order to
serve the public efficiently and effectively." City government agencies use the services of
professional men and other businesses. Locating the city hall near the center of business
activity helps expedite the work of the agencies located in city hall.

4. “Maximum use of transit systems will result in the least public parking areas and cause the
least congestion on city streets." Obviously this applies only to the city having some form of
public transit. People travel either by walking or by using cars, taxis, or public transit. If the
city hall is readily accessible to automobiles only, parking requirements would increase in
direct ratio to the increased use of the car. For the city that does not have transit systems,
location in the center area of the city may help to reduce parking requirements. People come
to the city center to do a variety of things; frequently they park and walk between different
places of business.

5. "The central business district is the real civic center of the 20th century." A lot has been said
about the deteriorating central business district. The impression has been given that the
central city is drying up; that everything is moving out. Thus why not the city hall. In the
first place there is good reason to believe that the moving out has largely been the retail store
and to a lesser extent the office building. Secondly, in the large city, the concentration of
people makes it possible for certain types of business, including retail, to operate more
efficiently; in the small city the general business area is staying intact for the some reason. A
city cannot afford to allow the central business district to dry up because of the investment it
represents. The proper placement of the city hall in the central business district can
contribute to the life of this area.
6. "More than the initial land cost must be included under the economic considerations of the
site . . ." The site should allow for expansion. Site development cost must be considered.
These expenditures include demolition of existing structures, If any, grading utilities, and
flood protection.

LAYOUT, DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION FEATURES

General Building Layout Building arrangement is the next step in planning a city hall. It is
helpful as a starting point to use the following checklist of departments, offices, special-purpose
rooms, and service areas in analyzing interior building requirements:

1. Departments requiring constant contact with the general public and the collection or payment
of money-for example, the finance department and tax collector
2. Departments requiring contact with special classes of the public-for example, city owned
utilities, building permits, personnel, city planning, and city clerk
3. Other departments including public works, recreation, police, fire, etc.
4. City council chamber and office space for use by the mayor and councilmen
5. Offices for the chief administrator
6. Courtrooms
7. Storage vaults and record rooms
8. Locker rooms, rest rooms, janitor closets, public telephones, and space for heating, ventilating,
plumbing, and electrical equipment
9. "Circulating areas" for lobbies, corridors, elevators, and stairways

Departmental Layout
Departmental layout will depend on the activities carried on by the department and the tools or
special equipment used. The first step in departments layout is to survey the work done by the
department. Work flow should be especially studied. A complete list should be made of all
employees and equipment to occupy the space. The possibility of future expansion should be
anticipated and provision made for additional personnel. Provision also should be-made for peak
rather then average workloads. Flow of work should, as nearly as practicable, be in a straight
line. Normally, work should come to the employees rather than their going to the work. Minor
activities can be grouped around areas of major activity.

Private Offices
A major factor in the determination of space needs is the question of who should get private
offices and under what circumstances. More space is required for private offices; space
utilization is restricted through segregation of areas for private offices; and considerable expense
is involved in rearranging and recreating partitions. Ventilation, lighting, and heating problems
are complicated by a number of small offices; supervision and coordination of work, flow of
work, and communications are made more difficult. An open, wall-arranged office has a more
orderly and businesslike appearance then a series of small offices.

Chief Administrator's Office

The location of the chief administrator's office is important to good public relations. It should be
located so as to give the impression of being easily reached and open to any caller, but it should
not be too prominent. The second floor ordinarily is a good location since some effort must be
expended to visit it, and the casual or merely curious individual is less likely to intrude.

Council Members
The council meeting room should be carefully planned if full use is to be made of it. Location of
the council chamber is important because of the public nature of the business transacted there.
Most of the cities with multistoried buildings have located the council room on the first or
second floor. The offices located near or around the council chamber are usually those of the city
clerk, city attorney, and city manager. Small meeting rooms and an office for the mayor and
council men may be located nearby.

Finance Activities
The collection activities of the finance department have more contact with the public than any
other municipal activity with the possible exception of the police and building departments. A
prominent location near the front entrance is therefore desirable. Avoidance of cubbyholes for
separate functions and provision for a large work area enhance the appearance of the building
and give the impression of a well-planned and efficient layout. Collection functions should be
located near the public counter with billing, assessing, accounting, budgeting, and purchasing at
a greater distance. These activities should be so grouped and arranged that the supervisor can
observe the work of all his employees. A drive-in collection in collection window should be
provided where possible. A separate, soundproofed machine room should be provided where
machines are used in accounting or billing. Acoustical ceilings and walls, thermopane glass
partitions, and carpeted floors will absorb much of the machine noise and make for more
efficient working conditions in the general office. A vault for safekeeping of records should be
provided unless one is provided nearby in the city clerk's office.

Police Department
The police department is singled out for discussion because of the special facilities it needs other
than regular office space. As noted, the police department is frequently not included in the city
hall. When it is, however, it should be basically separate from other city hall activities, and
public and criminal activities should be separated.

Design of the City Hall

The city hall is essentially an office building, not a monument or an ornament. The building
should be so designed as to be economical in construction and maintenance. True long-range
economy is achieved by a judicious balance between original cost and maintenance cost. A
building with cheap materials and equipment for the sake of low first cost may be quite
expensive in maintenance and replacement. Even though the city hall should be basically
functional and not a monument, originality in design is not precluded.

The space requirement of the building shall include, but is not limited to:

 Circulation areas - the path that people take through a space. It includes the route that
they take and the various elements that they encounter along the way, such as doors,
stairs, and elevators. The goal of circulation is to help people move through a space
safely and efficiently.
- Lobby - The lobby space type includes foyers, entries to halls, and security
screening areas at or near the entrance to a building or demarcated space, and are
meant to welcome and direct tenants and visitors, control access, and provide exit
ways from buildings. This space type is often designed with both secure and non-
secure areas. The lobby space type does not include elevator lobbies, however,
they may be adjacent or connected physically or aesthetically. Building lobbies
often serve as the "public face" of building interiors and are becoming more
interactive spaces that provide an enhanced user experience.
- Hallway - A hallway is typically a narrow passageway that is enclosed within
walls and often has doors leading to various rooms.
- Stairway/s - Staircase, series, or flight, of steps between two floors. Traditionally,
staircase is a term for stairs accompanied by walls, but contemporary usage
includes the stairs alone.
- Lift/ Elevator - They move vertically and take you up and down a building - a
vertical compartment that transports you to one or multiple floors.
Lifts and elevator are synonyms. The only difference is that elevator is an
American term, and lift is a British term for the same type of machinery. Both are
used interchangeably and refer to the device that carries people and goods to
different building levels.
