THESES TITLE: P.I.A.R “ PHILIPPINE INNOVATIVE ARCHEOLOGY RESEARCH

FACILITY WITH AUDITORIUM AT BICUTAN, TAGUIG.

DESIGN PHILOSPOHY: “ ARCHITECTURE IS THE ART OF HOW TO WASTE

SPACE”

OBJECTIVES: THE PROPOSED PHILIPPINE INNOVATIVE ARCHEOLOGY

RESEARCH FACILITY AIMS TO PROVIDE A ADDITTIONAL OR EXTENSION OF
THE ARCHEOLOGICAL RESEARCH FACILITY OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF
THE PHILIPPINE AS WELL IN DIFFERENT RESEARCH FACILITY IN REGIONS IN
ARCHEOLOGICAL DIVISION. A DEEP LEARNING ABOUT THE EXCAVATIONS,
REMAINS OF THE HUMAN BONES, ARTIFACTS, THE SITE EXCAVATIONS, BIO
FACTS, AND SO FORTH. THE PROJECT AIMS TO PROVIDE A FOR THE
VAROIUS TYPE OF ACTIVITIES SUCH AS CONDUCTING A PHOTOGRAPHIC OF
THE SOIL, GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, AND FEILWALKING. THE PROJECT ALSO
AIMS TO PROVIDE A LARGE SPACE FOR LABORATORY WITH INNOVATIVE OR
MODERN EQUIPMENTS.

THE PROJECT INTENTIONS IS TO CREATE A FACILITY OR STRUCTURE FOR

THE ARCHEOLOGIST TO HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF ACTIVITY BY PROVIDING
THE NEEDS OF THE PARTICULAR STUDY. AND ALSO AIMS FOR THE WIDE
UNDERSTADING AMONG PROFESSIONALS AND STUDENTS FOR THE
PHILIPPINE ARCHEOLOGY AND GIVE A WIDE KNOWLEGDE ABOUT THE RICH
HISTORICAL SITES, ARTIFACTS, MATERIALS USED DURING ANCIENT TIMES,
THE CLOTHES, ANTIQUE CERAMIC AND OTHER RELATED TO THE HISTORICAL
PAST.
DISSEMINATE ARCHEOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND INFROMATION THROUGH
AUDITORIUM, OPEN EXHIBIT, DISCOVERY THEATRE, LECTURES,
DEMONSTRATION AND OBSERVATIONS.

DESIGN CONCEPT: THE PROPOSAL PROJECT WILL BE SERVE AS A

FOUNDATION RESEARCH FACILITY FOR THE ARCHEOLOGIST IN THE
PHILIPPINES. THE DESIGN WILL BE INNOVATIVE AND FLEXIBLE WITH VAROIUS
LABORATORIES THAT WILL CATER THE NEEDS OF THE USERS SUCH AS;
CHEMICAL LABORATORY, MICRO AND MACRO MATERIAL ANALYSIS, AND
COMPUTER LABORATORY, THE PROJECT OFFERS/ FEATURES A OUTDOOR
EXPERIMENTAL ARCHEOLOGICAL RESEARCH SITES, FOR STUDENTS/ NON-
STUDENT/ ARCHEOLOGIST TO HAVE A FLEXIBLE ACTIVITIES SUCH AS
TRAINING OR EXECUTION OF EXCAVATION, EXPERIMENTAL DIGS IN REAL
DIRT UNITS TO HAVE A EXPERIENCE OF REAL SITUATION IN THE
ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES. THE PROJECT WILL BE FEATURING A SUSTAINABLE
DESIGN WITH RESPECT TO NATURE. A PROPOSAL WILL HAVE SOLAR PANELS
TO STORE A AMOUNT OF ENERGY, THE USE OF RAIN HARVESTING TO
LESSEN THE WATER CONSUMPTION, AND THE USE OF NATURAL
VENTILATION AND LIGHTING.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT: THE PROJECT WILL THEM BENEFIT

EVERYONE SPECIALLY ARCHEOLOGIST AND ARCHEOLOGY STUDENTS,
WHICH WILL ACT A SUPPORTING FACILITIES FOR THE CAMPUSES THAT
OFFERS A ARCHEOLOGICAL COURSES, TO HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF
KNOWLEDGE AND EQUIPMENTS USE TO EXAMINE AND EXCAVATE. IT WILL
BENEFIT THE AREA FOR BOOSTING I’TS PROFILE, AND IT WILL ASLO HELP TO
KNOW THE ORIGIN OF THE HISTORCIAL PLACES, EVOLUTION OF SIGNIFICANT
CULTURAL EVENTS, AND COLLAPSED OF MAJOR CIVILIZATION OR TRIBES
FOR CLUES OF WHY THESE EVENTS OCCURRED, THAT THESE STUDIES CAN
HELP THE TODAYS’ CURRENT ISSUES IN TERMS OF LAND.

THE PROJECT WILL BENEFIT HISTORICAL FACILITY (NATIONAL MUSEUM OF

THE PHILIPPINES, REGIONAL MUSEUM) THAT WILL PROVIDE A NEW OR
EXTENSION OF THE FACILITY MORE ARCHEOLOGICAL STUDIES. AND ALSO IT
WILL BENEFIT FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN THE EXCAVATIONS,
ARTIFACTS, AND THE LEARNINGS IN THE HISTORICAL PAST.

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT: TODAY PHILIPPINES OFFERS A SCHOOL OR

CAMPUSES FOR THE ARCHEOLOGY, THAT MEANS EVERYONE HAS A
OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A ARCHEOLOGIST THAT FOCUSES ON FINDINGS,
EXCAVATION, CLUES, AND OTHER RELATED. THE PHILIPPINE HAS A LOT OF
CAVES, MOUNTAINS, HISTORICAL SITES, AND SOME OF THE LOCATION IN THE
PHILIPPINES HAVE NOT YET BEEN DISCOVERED. WE HAVE NATIONAL
MUSEUM THAT HAS A ARCHEOLOGY DIVISION THAT FOCUSES ON
MAINTATING, SYSTEMATIC RESEARCH AND EXAMINING. AND DOES NOT
PROVIDE A FIELD SURVEY FOR MORE FLEXIBLE WORK OF ARCHEOLOGICAL
ACTIVTIES. ACCORDING TO THE SCIENTIST III/ ARCHEOLOGIST EUSEBIO
DIZON OF NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES ARCHEOLOGY DIVISION,IN
2016, CONCERNING ABOUT THE FACILITIES IN ARCHEOLOGY DIVISION TALKS
ABOUT THE NEEDS OF ARCHEOLOGICAL RESEARCH FACILITY IN THE
PHILIPPINES, THE WIDE FACILITY SUCH AS LABORATORIES WITH MODERN
EQUIPMENTS, A STUDY -STORAGE SPACE SHOULD BE PLANNED IN A WAY TO
ALLOW FOR ADDING MORE SPACE WITHOUT DISTURBING THE SCHEME IN
THE BUILDING, A VERY SERIOUS BUT COMMON MISTAKE IN PLANNING IS TO
RELAGATE THE STORAGE PROBLEM TO THE INDEFINETE FUTURE WITHOUT
MAKING ANY PLAN FOR IT’S SOLUTION. AND A FEATURES ON-SITE
ARCHEOLOGICAL SIMULATION FOR A MORE ENHANCE EXCAVATION FOR
UNDERSTADING THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE SOIL AND TECHNIQUES IN THE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOIL, ALSO THE USE OF MODERN EQUIPMENT IN
INVESTIGATING IN THE SITES THAT WILL GOING TO USE IN EXLOPRATION.
AND PHILIPPINE HAS ALSO A ARCHEOLOGICAL STUDIES PROGRAM IN
UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES, A PROGRAM THAT ENABLES TO PROVIDE
THE CURICCULUM COURSES FOR THE STUDENTS WHO TAKING UP FOR THE
ARCHEOLOGICAL FIELD, AND ALSO PROVIDE A SMALL SCALE OF
LABORATORY FOR SYSTEMATIC RESEARCH, IT CONTINUES IN DIFFERENT
REGIONS OF THE LUZON AND VISAYAS SURFACE. RESEARCH CENTER FOR
THE ARCHEOLOGY IN PHILIPPINES ARE VERY LIMITED, OFTEN SEE OR
LOCATED INSIDE THE INSTITUTIONS OR PROGRAM IN UNIVERISTIES.

BASED ON R.A 10066 ARTICLE VII, POWERS OF THE COMMISSION / CULTURAL

AGENCIES OF THE NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR CULTURED AND ARTS
STATED AT SECTION 31-32, ANY FORM OF CULTURAL AGENCIES SUCH AS
NATIONAL MUSEUM THROUGH ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCH, ARE
MANDATE/ POWER TO HAVE A SUPPORTING OTHER FACILITY THAT HAS A
RELATED WORK OF SCOPE OF THE ARCHEOLOGICAL FIELD. NAMELY
RESEARCH CENTER THAT COMMONLY FOCUS ON THE SPECIFIC OF SUCH
AREA BY LAND/ BODY OF WATER. THAT INCLUDES EXCAVATION EXCERSISES
AND ARCHEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION, ANY FORM OF NEW RESEARCH
FACILITY ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY THE CRITERIA FOR THE CULTURAL
AGENCIES.
THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES ACT SHALL AMONG THE
OTHERS, ESTABLISH, MANAGE, DEVELOP, AND BUILD THE NATIONAL
MUSEUM COMPLEX IN RIZAL PARK IN MANILA, CENTRAL MUSEUMS, AND
RESEARCH FACILITY IN RELATION TO THE STUDY. CARRY OUT PERMANENT
RESEARCH FACILITY OR PROGRAMS COMBINING INTEGRATED LABORATORY
AND FIELD WORK IN BIODIVERISTY, GEOLOGICAL HISTORY, HUMAN ORIGINS,
PRE- HISTORICAL AND HISTORICAL ARCHEOLOGY, MARITIME AND
UNDERWATER CULTURAL HERITAGES, ETHNOLOGY, ART, HISTORY,
IMMOVABLE, MOVABLE AND INTANGIBLE CULTURAL PROPERTIES, AND
SIMILAR OR ASSOCIATED FIELDS, IN EXTENT THE BILL ALSO PROVIDE
CREATION OF NEW ONES IN ADMINISTRATIVE REGIONS SUCH AS METRO
MANILA, WHERE THERE ARE PRESENTLY NONE.

IMPORTANCE OF THE PROJECT: THE PROPOSAL THESES NOT JUST ONLY

FOCUSES ON THE EXCAVATIONS TO FIND A ARTIFACTS THAT LIES BELOW
THE SURFACE OF THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO, BUT HENCE, IT WILL ALSO
DEDICATED SIGNIFANCE TO THE PHILIPPINE ARCHELOGICAL WORLD
SPECIALLY THE ARCHEOLOGIST IN THE PILIPPINE AND THOSE ASPIRING
STUDENT OF THE ARCHEOLOGY. THE PROJECT IS IMPORTANT DUE TO THE
NEEDS OF MORE FACILITES NAMELY THE LABORATORIES, STORAGE FOR
ARTIFACTS, AND INDOOR EXPERIMENTAL ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH SITES
FOR A FLEXIBILITY OF ACTIVITIES. AND IN ADDITION TO THE PROJECT, IT
WILL ALSO THE TIME FOR THE PHILIPPINE TO HAVE A ARCHEOLOGICAL
RESEARCH FACILITY TO HAVE A OWN OR SELF- OWN GOVERMENT
INSTITUTIONS FOR A WIDE RANGE OF ACTIVITIES THAT MAY HELP ALSO THE
CULTURAL AGENCIES OF THE PHILIPPINE TO SUPPORT THEM NAMELY,
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES, THE REGIONAL MUSEUM, THE
TRIBAL MUSEUM, IN TERMS OF FURTHER OR ADVANCE EXAMINING OF THE
ARTIFACTS MAYBE BY LAND OR BODY OF WATER.

AREA OF CONSIDERATION:
1. ARCHITECTURAL:
a. ACCESSIBILITY: THE MEANS OF EGRESS AND EXIT IS ONE OF THE
MAJOR FACTOR OF THE DESIGN, THE MAJOR FACTOR CONSIDERATION
NAMELY; PWD, ELDERLY, AND AS WELL THE ACESS OF THE VEHICLES.
b. CIRCULATION: THE MEANS OF GOOD/BETTER FLOW BEGINS IN THE
PLANNING PROCESS IN WHICH LOCATING THE PROPER USES OF AREAS.
c. SECURITY- THE MEANS OF SECURITY IS ONE MAJOR CONSIDERATION
IN PLANNING PROCESS SUCH AS SECURITY ROOM, CONTROL ROOMS,
SERVICE ACCESS, AND PUBLIC ACCES OR PERSONELLE.
d. FACILITY- MAJOR FACTORS IN CONSIDERATION IS THE PLANNING OF
SPACES IN THE REASERCH FACILITY FOR THE ARCHEOLOGICAL. THE FF. ARE
THE FACILITIES THAT HAD THE RESEARCH FACILITY/ CENTER IN LOCAL AND
