Designing a "Corruption Free City Hall"

Bago lang po ako mga KaCG, I'm currently an archi 4th yera student,
"Ask ko lang po kung meron po kayong idea sa Corruption-free City Hall using spaces as a design solution"

Free to suggest po kung meron po kayong idea's and information about Designing a City Hall.

Salamat po sa mga mga magrereply

1. Ano muna ang naiisip mo sa idea na corruption free na city hall?
2. Ano ang corruption?
3. Bakit may corruption?
4. San nangyayari ang corruption? Aling mga areas sa city hall? Sa ilalim lang ba ng mga mesa?
5. Sino sino ang involve sa corruption?

Let's follow a process in order to solve this one. Ikaw muna ang magsimula ng discussion para naman hindi natin masabi na spoonfeeding itong discussion.

First, determine muna natin ang problem.
2nd, enumerate natin ang mga causes ng problem. Kahit hypothetical lang pwede na. (kunyari si mayor ang corrupt, or mga teller.. etc.)
3rd, solve natin isa isa.
4th, supportahan natin ng data at information ang ating mga solution para credible.
5th, gagawa tayo ng design based sa solution.

Welcome to CGP.

start from macro analysis down to micro analysis in identifying your problem.

it would be helpful kung mag reresearch ka din po about history ng Corruption... at syem history ng City Hall... interesting tong topic na to...

sa isang news kasi sinabihan si Palafox ng broadcaster na "Architecture can't help solve political problems" na sa tingin ko naman ay hindi tama...
patunayan natin na hindi...

one way to minimized corruption is to utilize open planning & glass partition instead of solid wall like in modern bank design.

I agree with this but it will not solve the corruption alone. There should be a system like -

1. cashiers, auditors and officials work as separate entities. Not all of them are under the city hall system. pwedeng private sectors itong auditors at cashiers.

2. computerized

3. visible ang mga tao sa city hall. You know who are you dealing with...

Yun muna ok na.

agree...but that's another issue my main concern is how can i promote architecture as a tool for combating corruption within the city hall premises - proper planning and right usage of materials is merely a basic architecture. outside entities, computerization...so on is an administrative concern.

Like I said bro, It can't be done by arranging ang recreating space alone. It should sync to an idea or a program. Like all architecture should be. It can only be successful if there is a program. A process or a system. Architectural planning is just one part that can not stand on its own. If combined with a system, it will be a success and that's for sure.

I guess ma determine muna ano ano ang mga type of corrupction ang nangyayari sa city hall then determine kung how can it be solve, tama si sir bokkins,

Meron hindi kayang isolve thru space planning. For example,

1. Ghost employees

2. DInadagdagan yung mga Contracts

3. Minsan nakikipag kita ang City Officials outside City Hall premises

Salamat po sa mga nagreply...

nabasa ko po sa isang news article na ito
( di ko po maipost ang link dahil dito" New members are not allowed to post external links or emails for 7 days. Please contact the forum administrator for more information.")

Nagkaroon doon ng corruption dahil nacontrol ng Mayor or any other higher officials ang City Treasury Office as well as pati Accounting Office

So it means na malaki talaga ang ginagampanan ng mga ganitong departments.

"I agree po sa sinabi ni Sir Bokkins, Ang ginawa po namin ay mas inilayo pa po namin ang City Treasury at City Accounting Office sa Executive Department specially Mayor's and other Higher Officials.

" Ang ginawa po namin ay magkasama po sa isang Floor ang City Treasury,City Auditors at Public Front Services (Revenue Generating services, City Health, Permits and Licensing)" since interconnected naman po sila, kahit po nasa pareho silang floor hindi po namin pinaghalo, vmay sarili po sila zoning or area pero may access pa rin po sila with each other.


"Makakatulong din po ang building materials like glass walls sa mga departments na prone sa corruption, Nagprovide po kami ng room para sa MIS (para sa computerize informations para maging open book sa public ang mga transactions sa City hall"


Salamat po mga Sir/Mam malaking tulong po ito

maganda itong idea ng glass partitions, maybe a new design of furnitures like desk and drawers could also give a large impact...just to add specifications in your proposal...

May ka din dito bro. Good design contributes a lot sa behavior ng employees. Less stressfull ang mood at good vibes always. At magiging efficient pa ang trabaho.
