COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE
Rationale:
The Architectural Thesis is a complex research undertaking of fifth year students in the
UST College of Architecture. As such, we take extra efforts to ensure that the students
preparation of their terminal project is given the utmost attention of both the students and
their corresponding thesis advisers. The Design Focus intends to be a supplement to the
basic research of the student. Adding it as another Chapter of the thesis book aims to
emphasize the importance of synergizing Architectural Design as a course with the other
professional courses like Building Technology, Planning, Specialization, among others.
With the Design Focus in place, it will enhance the research further and ensure the clear
delivery of the message of the student regarding the feasibility of his / her research
undertaking.
