A PROPOSED SCHOOL OF MEDICAL RESEARCH

Good day to you sir/ma’am! I am Keisha Kaye Gemenez, a 5th year BS Architecture
student at Ateneo de Davao University. I am currently doing research for my thesis. The
title of which is “A Proposed School of Medical Research: A Study on the Use of
Biomimicry As means for the Procreation of Ideas and Research through Interaction”

My study is about using ant biology as an inspiration to design a medical school. This
hopes to apply the interactive nature of ants into architecture that will promote the
interaction between students and teachers within the school.

In connection with the said academic endeavor, I would like to request for your
assistance by answering this questionnaire. Information gathered shall be used for
academic purposes only. Your support will be vital to the completion of my thesis and
your participation will truly be appreciated. Thank you!
