Ardes 5 Major Plate No.1 - A Proposed City Hall

MAJOR PLATE NO.

A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

A Proposed City Hall with Filipino Modern-Vernacular Architectural Design

B. BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT:
In local government, City Hall is the chief administrative building of a city. It houses the city
council, associated departments and serves as the base of the city mayor. It is also one of
the city’s most symbolically important building, which expresses the transparency of the
democratic process.
As a symbol of local government, city hall has a very distinct architecture as they leave a
visual legacy for the city they represent.
C. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In view of stimulating a real scenario in architectural design practice, prepare a Design

Proposal for the Relocation of an existing City Hall of a selected city/area. The pursuit of the
activity is in line with course objective of under-taking architectural exercises in space
planning with special focus on Filipino Modern-Vernacular Architecture.
The design proposal shall entail first a general assessment (virtual assessment) of the
existing city hall building considering the following major parameters:
Space Planning:
Adequacy of existing office spaces against number of users and clients;
Contiguity and preferred proximity of related offices and sections;
Over-all convenience of end-users and clients alike; flexibility for expansion;
Others.
Building Character:
Appropriateness of the existing building design and envelope to a government
institution;
Projected public image of the structure in relation to its service to the community.
Filipino Culture:
Proper consideration of Filipino culture, customs and the like in the planning of the
spaces (like multi-purpose hall for various programs and social activities of
employees, pantry rooms for “baon”-eating staff, sports facilities both for staff and
public, sufficient waiting areas for extended family members of clients’ etc.)
Site Planning:
Proper and strategic location of the municipal hall;
Adequacy of parking spaces;
Accessibility of clients;
Others
As a group of upcoming groups of innovative architects, prepare the necessary

relocation/redevelopment of your chosen city hall based on your research.
