INTRODUCTION
A Domestic Airport is an airport that operate flights within a country.
Normally, it is also equipped to cater international flights but it lacks facilities like
customs and immigration making it not suitable for regular international flights.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, sustainable development and

vertical planning have been more present in the minds of the planners and
designers. This was an attempt to solve the growing concerns about our
environment and the alarming climate change caused by the rapid development of
our urban cities. Several professions in partnership with the architects and urban
planners are working on the possibilities to anticipate and restructure the
evolutions of the cities of today. Aligned with these are the studies of mixed-use
vertical developments as an approach to better accessibility and a solution to
shortage of land.

The research aims to evaluate the logic of special organization of areas

which must be suitable for a high-rise building along with analyzation of its
components such as accessibility, centrality, density, and multi-functionality.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The study objects to suffice adequate information needed in the project,

The Green Star Center, so as to be able to analyze and design an ingenious
functional space programming that would suit the project.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The Proposed Green Star Center, owned by the recent convergence of two
successful Information Technology companies called Green Star Corporation, is
envisioned to be built in a high-end commercial area in the Queen City of the south,
Cebu City. It is to be a high-rise mixed-use building, featuring a twin tower which
symbolizes the emerging of the two corporations: Yellow Ribbon Software
Specialist Corporation and the Blue Wave Computer Specialist Corporation.
Initially, the mixed-use twin tower should showcase their success in the industry
through an iconic architectural monumentalism.

The critical part of this project is that it does not only outfit the company’s
Corporate Center, but it will also accommodate a shopping center dedicated
primarily for Information Technology and Computer products (The GSC Mall and
Shopping Center), a museum highlighting the natives (The GSC Museum for
Indigenous People), a theater, a hotel, and rentable office spaces. The diverse use
of the building generates a challenge for good accessibility and functional space
planning without triggering interferences to the users’ behavioral activity.

Conclusively, the project demands for a strategically planned space

programming in conjunction with designing an iconic building that will reflect its
triumph and pioneering in the industry of Information Technology.
