PROJECT BRIEF:

THE PROJECT IS ABOUT DESIGNING A SATELLITE CAMPUS OF UST WHICH

WILL SERVE STUDENTS WHO LIVE IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF METRO MANILA.
WHITHIN THIS CREATIVE DESIGN CPOMPLEX, ONLY A QUARTER OF THE WHOLE
MASTER PLAN IS TO BE DEVELOPED IN THE SITE WHICH IS INTENDED ONLY
FOR ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS.

BUILDINGS, NOWADAYS, ARE THE BIGGEST CONSUMERS OF ENERGY IN OUR CITIES.

THE CONCEPT OF THE PROJECT IS TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE NECESSITIES OF THE USE
THIS HAS GIVEN US THE IDEA TO REDUCE OUR ENERGY CONSUMPTION, AND FOR THIS REASON WE N

THE DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURE MUST HAVE A CONNECTION WITH NATURE. IT SHOULD HAVE TO

DESIGN OBJECTIVES
1. TO DESIGN A STRUCTURE THAT HAS A DYNAMIC ROBUST CENTER, CLEAR SIGHT
LINES, CIRCULATION SPINES AND ARCHITECTURAL ICONS.
2. TO DESIGN A BIO-CLIMATIC ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL BY INTRODUCING REGIONALLY
ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES ON THE FOLLOWING MAJOR PARTS OF THE STRUCTURE: ROOF,
WALLS AND FLOOR.

3. TO DESIGN AN INTERATIVE SCHOOL THROUGH THE INCLUSION OF SOCIAL SPACES

BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL.

DESIGN STRATEGIES

A PHOTOVOLTAIC CANOPY constitutes a constructive solution which

combines energy generation, solar and adverse climatologic conditions
protection.
The energy generated by the system can either feed any building within
its surroundings or get connected to the grid, leading in any case to an
important economic profit.

PIEZOELECTRIC FLOOR TILES are designed to

capture the wasted energy and resources, and store
or redistribute them where they are needed. Energy
is generated when a person steps on tiles that
feature piezoelectric attributes. The amount of
energy generated depends upon the weight of the
person, maximum deflection, and type of movement.
This kinetic energy is converted into electricity.
