    Study Notes

    Architect's Concerns

    • Architects' responsibilities extend beyond aesthetics, encompassing building form and function, client interests, and adherence to regulations (DCs).
    • Architects in the Philippines undergo seven years of preparation and continuous training.

    Development Controls (DCs)

    • DCs include international agreements, Philippine laws, and guidelines.
    • These regulations aim to control development, balancing intervention with natural and built environments.
    • National-level and local-level DCs are relevant, encompassing governing rules, codes, and standards.

    National-Level Development Controls - PH

    • Philippine-related agencies (DPWH, DILG, etc.) use guidelines, local ordinances, and other rules for national and local level development.
    • References to regulations like the 1977 National Building Code of the Philippines (NBCP), with its implementing rules and associated systems, are included.
    • Documents such as Fire Codes, Accessibility Laws, and other relevant laws are included.

    Additional Development Controls

    • Local development-oriented ordinances, building codes, rules, regulations, and department orders, also fall under this category.
    • Professional regulatory laws, implemented by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and regulatory boards (PRBs), are included, governing areas like architecture (R.A. No. 9266).
    • The DPWH 2015 Philippine Green Building Code (PGBC) is a referral code for P.D. 1096.
    • Other codes on sanitation (P.D. No. 856), Energy Conservation, and applicable Architectural Codes are considered.

    Local-Level Development Controls

    • Local-level (LGU) ordinances/ordinances and maps (OZMs) are relevant.
    • Local special ordinances concern various areas like public housing, waterways, transportation, agriculture, and more.
    • Self-imposed controls (DoRs) relevant and standards (SDGS) are included.
    • Philippine Supreme Court rulings (Writs of Kalikasan, etc.) constitute jurisdictional PH legal precedents.

    Sustainable Design and Green Architectonics

    • Principles of economic, social, and environmental sustainability underpin sustainable design.
    • Siting, land utilization, orientation, and resource management are important.
    • Building materials with low embodied energy and high recyclability, are preferred choice.
    • Green material choices, such as wood-wool or fiber cement, should prioritize locally available materials.
    • Consideration of wind and rain patterns are necessary in building design.

    Site Development Works

    • The building grounds must be accessible and safe for all users, accounting for elevation changes, water, debris, or other hazards.
    • Natural lighting and ventilation must be prioritized, along with surface material selection.
    • The site should be properly drained to prevent health issues.
    • The site must not infringe on water or other natural resources.

    Solid Waste Management

    • A coordinated solid waste management plan is necessary and integrated within the community's and LGU's plan.
    • Segregated trash receptacles are advised, with bio-degradable wastes segregated from non-biodegradable wastes.
    • Site-specific regulations on refuse disposal are included.

    Energy and Resource Efficiency

    • Buildings should be energy- or water-efficient to reduce environmental impact.
    • Passive and active sustainable design features are included, alongside considerations for climate change and disaster readiness.

    Social and Cultural Inclusion

    • Architectural designs for persons with disabilities (PWDs) are mandated.
    • Design elements that cater to gender and age considerations are critical to social inclusivity.
