A Proposed Seaport Terminal

Location: Municipality of Liloan, Cebu City

Category: Commercial/ Industrial

A contemporary design concept that focuses on the use of locally-based materials together in representing the unique identity of Liloanons that can be able to cater to passengers and cargo. It has a redeveloped plaza that will be beneficial for users since it improves overall health both physically and mentally. It utilizes space as efficiently as possible while complementing the whole structure. However, it does not overpower nearby homes, nature, and city zoning rather considers it. It gives extra attention to natural light levels which makes use of large windows or multiple smaller windows to bring in natural light without compromising the levels of privacy and ensuring the comfortability of users. Creating an aesthetically pleasing design, structural efficiency, and use of spaces while minimizing unnecessary structural add-ons. Contemporary designs give room for future expansions and most importantly, it is earth-friendly by not being wasteful with materials, reducing energy, and water consumption, and recycles.

This proposal undergoes a process of lighting and daylighting simulation, and application of strategies where heat or glare will not radiate inside, which eventually best reflects a bustling terminal. Research of the existing conditions of the location was used as a base before applying additional interventions to the design to understand its effect on the overall concept and what it represents.
