Side View This model was used as a means of learning Google Sketch-up. The design was previously a hand-drafted floorplan I had done earlier. The house is on a relatively compact lot designed for the Philippine urban context. The house consists of a great room, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, as well as an atrium.

The Lateral system put into place after the retrofit can be broken down into 3 elements: Shear walls, reinforcement of the historic façade, and concrete cores for the steel-framed press box. (1)

An Interdependent System

All three elements perform specific functions both as dependent and independent systems. Despite the non-rectangular form of the stadium, the shears walls and ‘shotcrete’ reinforced façade likely act orthogonally, giving the seating segments lateral support in both two directions. The reinforced concrete structural cores largely acts independently of the other two, likely the only lateral support for the press box.

(6) The cores are separated from the main structure to protect both the core and the seating structure from lateral damage, especially seismic. (7) This is important to preserve the structural integrity of both structures. Due to the open, space-truss architecture of the entire press box, it seems to be the major, or possibly, only means to route utilities to these isolated upper levels.
