ARCHITECTURAL THESIS (EVACUATION CENTER)

 Ang thesis ko po ay isang permanent evacuation center building na may commercial purposes. Naisip ko po kasi na kapag nagpatayo ng ganitong structures ang government natin, ano ang magiging gamit nito kung walang disaster. Baka nakatiwangwang lang at mabubulok lang, or kaya malugi ang LGU sa maintenance. Kaya yung idea ko ay lagyan ng commercial purposes like yung evacuee area ay ipa rent as multi purpose rooms, may mga clinics, mga commercial slots na nagtitinda ng basic commodities like food clothing, blanket, medicine, and etc. pag may disaster, yung mga paninda ay automatic ibibigay agad sa evacuees para may pagkain na agad sila pagdating, bukod sa mga naka stock na para sa mga evacuees. Kung sa mga naka storage lang aasa ng supplies naisip ko baka mabulok at maexpire lang kung walang disaster at evacuation na maganap sa mahabang panahon. Financial source ay Govt, NGO or thru Private-Public Partnership.

Related project ko yung Delpan Evacuation Center, yung katabi ng Delpan sports complex. Yung Baseco evac. center hindi ko pa napupuntahan mas malaki daw yun.


Model evacuation center opens in Tondo

A four-story evacuation center complete with kitchen and bathroom facilities was inaugurated Friday in Tondo, Manila.

The Manila Disaster Risk Reduction Building near Del Pan Sports Complex can accommodate 3,000 victims of calamities.

Sitting on a 4,000-sq-m lot, the center has centralized kitchen and laundry areas, a clinic, stockroom, a paging system room with security cameras, an office for social welfare personnel and a generator.

It is also equipped with an elevator lift for persons with disabilities, pregnant women and senior citizens.

Mayor Alfredo Lim said the site is close to disaster-prone areas, such as the Parola Compounds, Smokey Mountain, Isla Puting Bato and Happyland.

He said a bigger evacuation site was also being constructed at the  Baseco compound.

Francis Tolentino, chair of the Manila Metropolitan Development Authority, said he would show the building as a model for evacuation centers to delegates from Tokyo, Singapore, Jakarta and other cities who will be in town in July for the Asian Disaster Conference


Napuntahan ko na ito at nagsagawa ng post occupancy study ayon na rin sa comments ng panel. Nakapag interview na rin ako sa mga nagmamanage nito at na taga NDRRMC at DSWD. Ang problem daw nito ay nakaclassroom type na mga separated rooms yung nasa building e sabi daw mahirap mamonitor ang mga evacuees kung ganon- kaya yung malawak na parang pang multi purpose talaga ang magandang solution nito. Tapos Dapat daw hanggang 2 floors lang kasi parang lugi yung govt. Nung sinabi ko yung idea ko about sa commercial units, parang nailang sila dito.


Mag iinterview pa po ako sa City Designing Office sa Manila City hall para makahingi ng tips sa pag design ng ganitong building.

 Ayon po ano kaya ang maipapayo ninyo mga Sir/Ma'am?

Salamat po.
