PROPOSED CAVITE INSTITUTE OF RESEARCH, DESIGN, AND ADVANCED-ARCHITECTURE

INTRODUCTION
Architecture in the Philippines has always been unique. It is the reflection of the history which the country has gone through. But the question is: what is the future of Filipino Architecture? The answer seems terrifying as slums sprawl endlessly, identical skyscrapers rise up monthly, and every single housing project is inspired by foreign styles. What future can we expect from an uncontrolled growth of the small, the ugly, and the foreign? (Blasco, 2012)

Fig. 1 Ar. Philip H. Recto at the UAP World Day of Architecture 2012 said that the city of Manila still followed an old urban plan made almost 80 years ago and warned that it is bound to fall into urban decay as people will just keep moving farther away from the decaying city.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

In the constantly modernizing world, the Filipino identity in architecture is vanishing; Filipinos see identity in aesthetic outputs. They should think about our future. What is Filipino Architecture? Filipino architects should build an identity when it comes to international projects. Philippine architecture can still improve.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

To achieve this main goal, this Institute will aim to satisfy the following architectural objectives:

To be able to determine a rational site for the Proposed Institute of Research, Design and Advanced Architecture; To be able to determine a space program for the Proposed Institute of Research, Design and Advanced Architecture in reference to the issues and concerns of Urban Planning and concerns within the milieu of;

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

To determine other amenities and utility systems that will suggest sustainable facility and support the operation of the proposed project; and To determine building laws that will be applied in the Project.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Through this research, students will become aware of the status of Filipino architecture globally. Hopefully, the study will provide some insights and information on how a platform for the exchange of knowledge with architects and students can develop an integrated set of skills with which to act effectively in the Philippines or globally. The study can also be a learning paradigm for architecture students to enhance their knowledge in space programming of school, research center, library, and cafeteria.

SCOPE AND LIMITATION

This study is focused on the Architectural Design Processes of an institute dedicated to the research and enrichment of skills, talents, and capabilities of Filipino architects. The study does not include surveys and data related to Architects and architecture students such as population due to lack of time and UAPs inability to provide documents the researcher needs. The proposal is limited to the given functions of the scope, methods, and resources used in research. In addition, the extent and details of the study are also limited by the availability of resources such as manpower, time, finances, and documents.

CHAPTER 4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

PROPOSED CAVITE INSTITUTE OF RESEARCH, DESIGN, AND ADVANCED-ARCHITECTURE

SUMMARY

As said, students will become aware of the status of Filipino architecture globally. The study provided insights and information on how a platform for the exchange of knowledge with architects and students can develop an integrated set of skills with which to act effectively in the Philippines or globally. The study is a learning paradigm for architecture students to enhance their knowledge in space programming of school, research center, library, and cafeteria. Through Site Criterion, students will learn how to identify the most suitable site for the Proposed Cavite Institute of Research, Design and Advanced Architecture.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the most suited Site for the Proposed Cavite Institute of Research, Design and AdvancedArchitecture through the analysis from Site Criterion and Possible Site Comparisons is the Site C.

The most suited spaces for the Proposed Institute for each building are identified.
The proper orientation of the buildings is identified to maximize sustainability. And lastly, the right area for spaces for each structure are identified and their relationships to each other.

RECOMMENDATIONS
In selecting the most suited site: Area should be with-in the target area of users and have the easiest access to transportation Site should be in proximity to commercial, hospitals, and business, industrial and other establishments. Site should be adjacent to Main Roads Site should provide good condition for studying and research Noise status should not be a hindrance for the students in the school and research center

RECOMMENDATIONS
In Spatial Analysis: The spaces should be identified for users satisfaction. The minimun space allocation for each user must be identified through the National Building Code.
