Architectural Design Development

Design Brief
Background
A Museum is often seen as an important civic building and a cultural landmark. Museums
usually have clear statements on their reason for being. A museum is distinguished by a
collection of often unique objects that forms the core of its activities for exhibitions,
education, research, etc. The traditional statement includes mission to:

Preserve conservation of collections which, as an example, would require maintaining

constant temperature and relative humidity to protect the object and to minimize any
deterioration, et. al.

Protect safeguard the museums collections by employing various security designs.

Exhibit public showing of the collections meant to educate, etc.

However, there are significant variations between museums beyond these. Some are
collecting institutions; some have static collection, others do not collect as core activity.
Some museums have strong emphasis on education, with art schools being an integral
part of the facilities.
Statement of the Problem
Clark Freeport zone is in need of a Museum. This museum will house resident or
permanent art collections and shall be able to accommodate other artworks from other
museums, galleries or collectors.

Design Philosophy
The mother art is architecture. Without architecture of our own we have no soul of our own
civilization.
Explanation:
There is a need for buildings to be more fluid, more open, more livable, and less restrained.
Buildings should be from the earth and for the earth. Architecture should push the envelope with
contemporary philosophical approach to the future of building. (Add more to the context. Make
sure its your own explanation to the philosophy. If the Philosophy was adapted from a certain
person, cite the reference and provide your own rationalization as to why the philosophy was
adapted)

Design Concept
The planning museum is envisioned to be a new civic sculpture for the city located at the heart of
the main the governmental district. The sculptural nature of the building ties to the existing
network of sculptural elements and parks placed throughout the city. The building becomes a
technological bloom as the massing opens towards the main parks to the west. The form of the
building takes inspiration from the nautical influences and seeks to become a symbol of
technological progress and green evolution.

The lighting

of a blooming flower- the main golden glow facing west towards the
government buildings and the CBD. The inner aluminum faade layer uses a polymer coating
that increases insulation values by 10-20 percent, and provides marine and fungal resistance.

Figure 24. This initial sketch shows the organic influence of the museum.

ALL CAPS SHORT TITLE 50 CHARACTERS OR LESS

These nano-coatings are really nothing more than simple paints and will provide dramatic
performance with minimal cost. The use of the self-cleaning nano-coating on the faade will
keep the skin clean of all dirt and organic stains for years without any maintenance. The building
also minimizes east west facades and pulls all entries away from the northern winds to maximize
passive solar ideas. The government hopes the project will inspire green ideas and further
sustainable design in the city.

The new feature in the museum further enhances the experience by letting patrons collect and
save objects from around the galleries. The Immersion Room on the second floor uses digital
and projection technologies to bring the museums collection of wallcoverings, the largest and

ALL CAPS SHORT TITLE 50 CHARACTERS OR LESS

most significant collections. It allows the patrons to browse hundreds of high-resolution digitized
wallpapers and see them projected at full-scale, floor-to-ceiling on the surrounding walls. An
interactive Pen allows patrons to sketch their designs, adjust the colors and manipulate repeat
patterns, and see them projected on the walls. The Selected wallcoverings are accompanied by
brief audio commentary with designers, who share design insights and inspiration.
In the dynamic and interactive Process Lab, visitors can brainstorm design solutions through
hands-on and digital activities. The Process Lab emphasizes how design is a way of thinking,
planning and problem solving, and provides a foundation for the rest of the design concepts on
view in the museum.
Solar Activated Facade (S.A.F.)

Figure
25. The Solar Activated Faade
SAF is an ideal wall construction for
very energy efficient buildings also
maximizing solar energy use. Conventional facades attempt to de-couple the building interior
from the exterior. The SAF faade offers another solution: the creation of a sun-warmed buffer.
This buffer effect begins at sunrise and holds well past sunset. In this manner building heat losses

ALL CAPS SHORT TITLE 50 CHARACTERS OR LESS

are dramatically reduced. The annual energy balance of a highly insulated wall can be matched
with only half the wall thickness.
The core of the concept is a solid wood absorber with slanted, horizontal slits. A backvented glass faade protects the wood from the elements and helps preserve the thermal
buffering effect. Behind the absorber is an insulated, conventional wooden or masonry structural
wall. The SAF wall is an exciting architectural element giving a building a special, individual
identity. Solar radiation from the low winter sun is transmitted through the glass facade and
absorbed in the louver-structured wooden absorber. Slowly the wood is warmed during the
daylight hours. After sunset, during the next four to twelve hours the wood slowly cools down.

BP 344 or Batas Pambansa 344 An Act to Enhance the Mobility of Disabled Persons
by requiring Certain Buildings, Institutions, Establishments and Public Utilities to
Install Facilities and other devices

ALL CAPS SHORT TITLE 50 CHARACTERS OR LESS

The dimensional data of the technical aids of disabled persons. Included in the second
consideration are the dimensions of wheelchairs; the minimum spaces needed for
locking and unlocking leg braces plus the range of the distance of crutches and other

walking aids from persons using such devices. (ADD Figures if needed)
In determining the minimum dimensions for furniture and fixtures accessible to
disabled persons, the following anthropometrics data shall serve as guides for design:
The length of wheelchairs varies from 1.10 m to 1.30 m . The width of wheelchairs is
from 0.60 m to 0.75 m. A circle of 1.50 m in diameter is a suitable guide in the
planning of wheelchair turning spaces. The comfortable reach of persons confined to
wheelchairs is from 0.70 m to 1.20 m above the floor and not less than 0.40 m from
room corners. The comfortable clearance for knee and leg space under tables for
wheelchair users is 0.70 m.

Structural Concepts
The City of Milwaukee is looking for a strong architectural statement in an exciting yet
functional building that would set an architectural standard for the next millennium
The design features a large pavilion containing a glass-enclosed reception hall with a transparent,
boat-like prow facing the lake, as well as a huge, operable wing-like Brise-Soleil sunscreen

Structural Feature is a Finite Element Model. The complexity of the Quadracci Pavilion
required that the mat foundation slab, pavilion, A-frames, ring beams, and Burke Brise-Soleil be
designed through a detailed finite element model analysis

Feasibility / Cost Analysis

Option A: For Projects whose proponents are from the Private sector, the researcher should be
able to provide a Cost Analysis or a Computation showing how and when will the Return on
Investment, or ROI, which is the most common profitability ratio, be achieved. Usually, in
order to attain this, the researcher must be able to establish first how much would be the Project
Cost or a capital expenditure (CAPEX) and then a computation of the Gross Revenue or
earnings and Operating expenditures (OPEX). There are several ways in order to determine
ROI, the following are JUST examples and NOT LIMITED TO:

ALL CAPS SHORT TITLE 50 CHARACTERS OR LESS

12

I. Using the Formula:

Before using the formula, calculate first the Project Cost and/or CAPEX, Gross
Revenue and OPEX. For example, suppose Mr. Rodriguez invested Php1000 in the construction
of a commercial building in 2010 and gained net revenue of Php1200 a year later. To calculate
the return on his investment, he would divide his profits (Php1200- Php1000 = Php200) by the
investment cost (Php1000), for a ROI of P200/P1000, or 20%.

II. Determine how many years pending ROI:

Usually presented in a tabular format, determine the Project Cost and/or CAPEX,
Gross Revenue and OPEX. Subtract the Yearly OPEX from the Yearly Gross Revenue. The
difference (Net Revenue) would be then divided to the Project Cost, hence giving you the years
pending ROI. An example is given below after determining the above-mentioned variables:

SUMMARY: Project Cost Php12,000,000

Yearly Gross Revenue Php 1,500,000
Yearly OPEX Php 750,000
Yearly Gross Revenue - Yearly OPEX = Php 750,000 (Net Income)
Project Cost / Net Revenue = 16 years
You may use your own technique in determining the ROI.
The researcher should determine the Proponents on this section. The determination of the
proponent could establish the financial feasibility of the project.

ALL CAPS SHORT TITLE 50 CHARACTERS OR LESS

13

Option B: For Government-Funded Projects, the researcher should be able to show how
much the Project would amount. NO detailed estimates or Bill of materials. NO Cost Analysis
(ROI), only an estimated amount of the project. The researcher should, likewise, determine
in particular the Government agency, LGU, etc. that is to sponsor the proposal. It would help
if the researcher could determine the answer to questions in relation to financing the proposal.
Examples:

How much from the budget of DepEd would be allocated to your project?
Is the allotted Budget by the Government sufficient enough to fund your proposal?
What is the governments allotment on the National budget for DOH this year? How

much is the DOH allotting for building projects?

If the Local Government Unit is to fund the project, what is the IRA (Internal Revenue
Allotment) for the particular province, municipality or city?

Option C: For PPP, P3, or Public Private Partnership Projects, the researcher is to provide a
Cost Analysis as well (refer to the requirements of OPTION A) since usually the private party
is still the one that provides a public service or project and assumes substantial financial,
technical and operational risk in the project.
