Study Notes
Building Design Principles
- Building design encompasses providing all necessary information for a structure to meet owner needs, public health, welfare, and safety standards.
- Design must adhere to client-specified purposes.
- Design must be achievable using current techniques, labor, and equipment within acceptable timelines.
- The building must withstand the environment and expected use for the agreed timeframe.
- Aesthetics are important, both inside and out.
- No part of the building should endanger occupants during normal use. Evacuation or refuge provisions are vital in emergencies.
- The building must provide appropriate shelter. Necessary climate control (air, temperature, humidity, light, acoustics) must equal or exceed minimum safety and health standards.
- Environmental impact must be minimized during construction.
- Building operation should use the lowest energy compatible with its function.
- Total costs (construction, operation, maintenance, repair, future alterations) must stay within client limits.
DPWH Drawings & Technical Specifications
