A Proposed Permanent Evacuation Center/Covered Multipurpose Court

B. STATEMENT OF THE ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING and DESIGN PROBLEM

Due to the risks posed by the nearby Taal volcano and recent studies indicating that typhoons that
traverse the Philippines have gotten more devastating over the past two decades, the local
government of a municipality in Batangas has approved the construction of a covered
multipurpose court that will also function as an evacuation center on a vacant property owned by
the local government.

The project will be a one-storey structure with a frontage of 50 meters and a footprint of 1,500
square meters. Its simple, rectangular floor plan can be divided into three sections, adjacent to each
other, to form a rectangular footprint: the east section, the center section, and the west section.

The center section is the biggest of the three sections and is sandwiched between the east section
and the west section. It has a depth of 30 meters and an area of 1,020 square meters. It is mostly an
open floor and contains the multipurpose court. It is a tall space, with a clear height of at least 6
meters from the finish floor line to the bottom of the lowest roof beam. The only built-up portion
of the mostly-open center section is a 5-meter-deep, 30-meter-wide area located on the north end.
This built-up portion contains a stage at the center, measuring 5 x 10 meters. On the east side of
the stage is a 5 x 10 meter storage room, while on the west side of the stage is a 5 x 10 meter
clinic. The open floor has court markings for basketball, volleyball, and badminton games. During
times of disasters or emergencies, this open floor can accommodate about 100 evacuation tents.

The adjacent east section has an area of 240 square meters is 30 meters deep. It is composed of 4
areas that are all 8 meters wide. At the south end, facing the road is the 40 square meter reception
area. Adjacent to it is the 80 square meter mess hall which can seat about 60 people at a time. To
the north of the mess hall is the 40 square meter kitchen. And located on the northernmost end of
the east section is the male toilet which contains 8 water closets, 4 urinals, 8 lavatories, and 10
shower stalls. The reception area and the mess hall are separated only by a PVC accordion
partition.

Meanwhile, the west section has the same overall dimensions and area as the east section. It is
adjacent to the central section and contains 4 areas. On the north end is the female toilet, which
measures 8 x 10 meters and contains 14 water closets, 13 shower stalls, and 8 lavatories. Adjacent
to it is the family area measuring 8 x 10 meters, which contains a play area for children, a
breastfeeding room, and two conjugal sleeping rooms. To the south of the family area is a 5 x 8
meter storage room. And completing the west section is the admin room on the front side, facing
the road and measuring 5 x 8 meters. The two conjugal sleeping rooms have entrances facing the
outside.

The central section will have a taller roof than either the east or the west section, with a roof apex
of about 9 meters reckoned from the finish floor line.
C. PROJECT SITE FEATURES:
The site is an inside lot with a depth of 40 meters and an area of 3,600 sqm. It is facing a 15-meter-
wide local street on the south side. The western 40% of the lot will be left open and will serve as a
parking lot. The building will have the following setbacks from the property lines: 6 meters from
the front property line, 4 meters from the rear property line, 4 meters from the east property line,
and sufficient setback from the west property line to leave sufficient space for the aforementioned
parking lot on the west side of the property. Based on the municipality’s land use plan, the lot is
zoned as ‘General Institutional.’

D. DESIGN OBJECTIVES:

To design a building that can function both as an evacuation center and a covered court, at the
lowest cost possible.

A. PROJECT NO. 2 TITLE and General Description

A Proposed Two-Storey Public Market Building

B. STATEMENT OF THE ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING and DESIGN PROBLEM

The local government has approved the demolition of the current public market in order to
construct a new, two-storey public market building to replace it.

The new public market building will have a footprint of 1,506.72 sqm. and will house the stalls for
wet goods on the ground level and the stalls for the dry goods on the second level. Both levels
follow exactly the same layout and are connected by four sets of staircases, one each corner of the
building. The north and south sides are aisles, flanked by the aforementioned staircases that are
located at the corners of the building.

The floor plate can be divided into six bays that are 25.80 long each. The six bays are adjacent to
each other and are joined together along their long sides. The four bays in the middle are identical
and are 9.40 meters wide. The outer bays are mirror images of each other and are one meter wider
than the middle bays.

The middle bays have 2.40-meter-wide hallways on the north and south side (parallel to the east-
west axis) and a 2.40-meter-wide aisle running down the middle of the bay, oriented along the
north-south axis. The remaining space inside the bay are for market stalls that each measure 3.50 x
3.50 meters. In each bay, there are 6 adjacent stalls on each side, for a total of 12 stalls in each bay.

The two outer bays are exact mirror images of each other. Each outer bay’s outer corners (which
are also the outer corners of the entire building) contain a staircase measuring 2.40 x 4.50 meters.
There are four such staircases inside the building in total. Each outer bay also has a 2.40-meter-
wide aisle located approximately in the middle. On the inner long side of each outer bay are 6
market stalls, arranged in a similar fashion as the market stalls of the inner bays. On the outer long
side of each outer bay, however, are 6 modules each measuring 3.50 wide x 4.50 long. Of these 6
modules, the two middle ones will be used as public restrooms, while the rest will be enclosed
rentable storage rooms.

C. PROJECT SITE FEATURES:

The site is an inside lot with a frontage of 70 meters and an area of 3,640 sqm. On the south is a
14-meter-wide RROW. It is set back 6.20 meters from the road. The two side setbacks measure
5.80 meters and serve as driveways to the service parking lot at the back. Customers are expected
to park at the vacant government property across the street. The site is zoned as C-2.

The entire north side of the property contains a linear, unpaved strip that is 2 meters wide. It will
be landscaped with low-maintenance plants and trees and will be the only unpaved portion of the
entire property.
