Primary School Building
Primary School Building
3) in Design 5
This design project aims to design a Primary School or Elementary School Model
for the rural areas of the Philippines, that continues to learn to live with the pandemic
that affected the nation. We also aim to raise the facility design that can host the
basic needs of an elementary school; but through Architecture and place making, we
hope to create a unique and symbolic identity or approach in our primary school
models. PAGE 1 Considerations shall be (but not limited to) - a feasible design that
can accommodate the direct participation of the local community, - constructability
that may be achievable through sustainable and self-constructing technologies that
does not require heavy vehicles and complex equipment - can be a prototype in-
terms of planning; meaning, this can be applied to a different site that follows contour
or site sizes - integrated into a rural / urban setting
A. The student examinee is free to locate their primary school model in a rural and
urban site as long as the following are considered:
C. Spatial Requirements
The basic space requirements needed of the project are the following, but not limited
to:
1. A (1) One-Storey building school model (that may serve as a typical layout
for possible future expansions)
a. With 6 Classrooms, with an average number of forty (40) students
per classroom.
b. Teacher Room (for 12 Teachers) / Administrative office
c. Laboratories, that are flexible for different / new activities for student
learning
d. Canteen / Mess Hall (with kitchen and preparation room)
e. Sick room, or Clinic
f. Toilets (Male, Female & Student PWD)
g. Library
h. Open spaces
iv. Exterior Perspective; at least 1 street level or man’s eye view (showing
the façade or elevation details of the structure)
E. Medium: Use A2 size (16.5” x 23.4” or 420mm x 594mm) White Paper with
your Name and Student Number at the upper right hand corner of all your papers.
Use Black pen for plans, elevation and section. You can also use any colored pen for
rendering works for site development plan.
