Rationale

Architecture is a very unique and complex field and the learning of students is largely
dependent upon actual experiences that even the use of visual aids cannot provide. EXPERIENCE
can better the acquisition of learning by the students as they would see, touch and experience the
subject of discussion. Experiencing the place is a lot better than by just merely viewing it, reading
about it or looking at it. This is very important to architecture education.

Bicol University Institute of Architecture is the leading institution in the region that had
experienced the continuing changes in the field of Architectural Education. This change can be
directly attributed to the fast technological advancement, current issues, new enacted laws, climate
change, environmental sustainability and the diversity of contemporary societal needs.

The challenge for the Architect Academician is the teaching methodology on how to
deliver ideas, new concepts and other issues which directly affect the education of the future
architects. Practical implementation of concepts is the most effective tool for learning. It is said
that the best way explaining or teaching these ideas and concepts is through showing them the real-
life practice and scenarios of being an architect, having an actual exposure and or practical
applications of theories, or how to feel the spaces of the different types of buildings that the
architect design and how the immersion to the actual practice of the profession can uplift their
appreciation of the profession and respond to different situations accordingly. One of the means to
provide better learning experience, is by adopting the “OUTSIDE the Classroom'' learning process.
The “On the Job Training Course or Apprenticeship Program '' can give opportunity to students to
apply acquired skills and knowledge from studios and classrooms to the actual industry setting.
Conventional way of learning may no longer be the best option. A student must explore other
experiences outside classrooms and experience real-life issues and problems. Opening

1
opportunities to the students to engage in the actual practice and introducing them to the different
industry partners may widen their horizon of learning and experience. The Immersion Program is
one best option as it offers the perfect informal set-up for lively discussions and engagements. The
experience of traveling to other cities and practical applications of diverse works in an architectural
office makes them independent individuals and helps establish lifelong values and priorities.

The Immersion program as patterned from the Diversified Architectural Experience of RA

9266 Article III through the PRC Board of Architecture mandating all applicants for Architecture
Licensure Examinations to undergo a specific record of Diversified Architectural Experience duly
certified by a Registered and License Architect. This will allow the Student/Trainee to experience
the actual diverse works in their chosen firm / provider. There will be opportunities to augment
their classroom and studio instruction through seminars, travel to different places of on-going
projects and will give them chances to interact with different people. Interacting with allied
professionals in the building industry and other students will develop amazing social skills and
networks.

The policy and guidelines presented below will serve as reference for making the syllabus
and course guide of the faculty in charge of the conduct of the immersion program.
