It is typical nowadays in a city to have an own large indoor space for public gathering. This may be in a form of a stadium, arena, auditorium, or a convention center. These said gathering spaces are commonly built and designed to highlight the city‘s peop le, culture, and
more so their progress. These spaces are commonly used to host sports competition, local concerts, festivals, exhibitions, or as venues for special gathering. Typically, these structures are situated near lodging facilities for the efficient and practical purpose of housing the large number of guests and participants. Commonly today, hotels take the advantage of having an affixed convention center therefore having the opportunity of hosting and accommodating a large number of people who will use both the convention center for seminars or other events and as well as the hotel facilities. A convention center is designed to hold conventions, where individuals and groups gather to promote and share common interests. Convention centers typically offer sufficient and spacious floor area to accommodate the needs of the several thousand attendees. A convention
center is also a way to attract tourists. It is a general idea that a convention center must not only be space-efficient, moreover, it has to aesthetically and visually communicate to people. Materials, culture, and history must be well presented p resented and considered. Oriental Mindoro is the proposed site location of the structure. The province has n‘t yet to have its own convention center as the province is already developing and a potential tourist destination.

La Mola Hotel and Conference Centre is located at Terrassa, Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain. AREA Gross Floor Area: 17.400m2 YEAR Design: Design: 2003- 2004 • Construction: 2005 -2008 Designer's statement In a location trapped between a golf course and a forest, a considerable building volume is distributed. Three pavilions scattered on the hillside with strict rationality solve a functional program for low interpretations. The link between them is provided by a semi buried body that takes more formal freedom and that is protected from the sun with a lattice tree. The colour becomes a contextualized mechanism that, far from seeking to camouflage, it proposes an artificially conscious emulation on an unnatural support in an intentional correlation with the nature of the forest and the artificial nature of go lf. Implementation and landscape La Mola Hotel and Conference Centre was proposed as an architectural design that respects the natural environment in which it is situated. Because of this, it was given special attention to the layout of the different volumes built. Thus, most of the trees of the place remained in its initial location and a lower part of them were transplanted. Furthermore, the plot was populated with trees to form a garden where irrigation is resolved entirely by the recycling of gray water generated in the centre. Extensive areas of glass
facades allow maximum use of natural light in winter while in summer the adjustment of various solar control systems prevents the overheating of the stays. Moreover, the system allows free cooling in a controlled way the favourable conditions of the outside air, thus reducing the need of artificial air conditioning. Solar panels located on the roofs of two buildings help to reduce energy consumption for the generation of hot water. The predominant use of concrete, combined with pine wood closures and decks gardened, provides a whole unit making it a peaceful space, integrated into its surroundings. The outdoor areas have been addressed by creating paths and landscaped areas of rest and meeting that interconnect with each one of the buildings. CHAPTER 1.2.2.4 Hilton Cleveland Downtown - Convention Center Hotel
John Kosich, newsnet5.com "It won't be the tallest building in Cleveland but it will be extremely prominent because of its location," said Project Management Consultant Jeff Appelbaum. "We have a convention center that's largely underground so you really don't know necessarily that the convention center is there. This becomes sort of the icon for the convention center," he said. According to John Kosich, The hotel will feature a four-story base or podium that will feature the hotel's lobby, ballroom and connections to the adjacent convention center. Above will be a 26-story hotel tower that will feature around 600 rooms, all with views of both Lake Erie and the city. Another two-story meeting place will be featured on the hotel's 25th floor with a terrace overlooking the lake. Cuyahoga County's new 32-story, 600-room Cleveland Convention Center hotel will strive for an authentic sense of place with interiors that blend subtle influences from Cleveland's Cleveland's industrial past with adaptations of midcentury modernist design.
The interior concepts, are inspired with the state of Ohio, a sort of a Cleveland industrial –chic concept. To create a sense of locale, the hotel will include large, lattice-like steel screens on either side of the main reception area that were inspired by bridges over the Cuyahoga River. Carpets in elevator lobbies and headwalls in some guest rooms will feature abstracted street maps of downtown Cleveland. The idea of all the local touches is to provide local residents and visitors from afar a sense that the hotel is rooted in Cleveland. CHAPTER 1.3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Engr. Magsino discussed about the Philippine Trade training center how the exhibitions help to promote the different kinds of products and how rooms for different kinds of events work does. He discussed that each rooms depend on its function. Different seminar room and exhibition area have different rates depending on the area, number of visitors and its requirements. requirements. Basing the requirements of the clients will be in the number of foods, capacity of booth depends on the size, banquet, round table, this will depend on the space factor, consider of ergonomics per person and etc. Clients is depending on their target market if this can be accommodate by the trade center. Most of the clients from local and international base, their marker end product, manufacturing base or machinery base. The common event held in their trade center are trade events, product launching, convention, manufacturing exhibits, world bex, autoshow, phil construct, government government sponsored, government exhibits. Though he says that trade would be depending on the setting if it is urban or rural. According to Engr. Magsino, one of the best features of the exhibition in the Philtrade are the electricity power panel for each exhibition, when there is cooking or dining there are the water and drainage system provided, individual the air-condition for every rooms. Since the halls can be divided by partitions, type of lighting system are series parallel individually. Lights can be changed depending on the products exhibiting. Then, controls must
be sectionalized. Power panel are grouped depending on the cooling systems, systems, power supply and etc. Needs and wants of the clients must consider. Consideration for the costumers are needed like fire protection for safety precaution, number of restrooms depending on the event. Though the utilities like the comfort rooms, it gets limited when it is tiyangge or end products. Also a requirement is the parking spaces. Philtrade planned to have future expansion since clients are having more demands especially in the number of people that the exhibition can acquire. acquire. In the exhibition rooms the walls and flooring are simple since most of the clients wants to decorate it by themselves even the lighting systems. The Philippine Trade Training Center also converting into a sustainable sustainable building through of lightings and air-conditions they use. Also, Engr.

Ar. Rowena Jardin is a Professor in a college at Oriental Mindoro. She discusses the needs of a convention center in Oriental Mindoro. It is said it is perfect to have a convention center in Oriental Mindoro since this is the place of the host of MIMAROPA. All the regional offices will be in Oriental Mindoro. She said that if the regional offices are all in here the host province must have convention. There is convention but it small in Puerto but not usable for large events. Convention Centers are preferable if it will be near the city like Calapan and Pinamalayan. Common events in Oriental Mindoro are sports and cultural events. Still, they need a venue for this events especially for cultural aspect.
She also discussed about the beach front development. Personally in her opinion, she would want to have a project that is in beach front since it what the tourist visit in an island. Still, waste disposal and the laws are one important factors to consider. Also, the architectural character in Oriental Mindoro is mixed styles however there is existing architectural character for the Mangyans the original citizen of Oriental Mindoro. She also said that the growth of population must be studied CHAPTER
1.4.2.3
AMANDO
DAYRIT-
PRESIDENT
OF
MANGYAN
KALAKBAY
FOUNDATION
Aside from Puerto Galera and other tourist spots, Oriental Mindoro have rich culture. Amando Dayrit talks about the cultural events for the mangyan. Mangyans love performing performing especially that they are talented in different aspects through music and arts. He said that every time there is a fiestas or any events a better venue is needed. This also helps the mangyans to earn money and also to be known by the tourists. Mangyans can visit different places as long as structures has there is architectural consideration. CHAPTER 1.4.2.4 ORLANDO B. TIZON- SUPERVISING TOURISM OPERATIONS OFFICER OIC PTIEDO
Orlando Tizon is the head of the department of tourism in Oriental Mindoro. He discussed about the events held in Oriental Mindoro. In common non-sports events, Oriental Mindoro is lacking in venue. Oriental Mindoro had convention center however it is small for the provincial especially in regional events. They have researched that a capacity of 3000 seats are desired for a venue. venue. There are many tourist tourist spots in Oriental Mindoro Mindoro and if convention centers centers are being proposed MICE is the type of tourism for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions. However, facility are concern if there would be convention for large events. CHAPTER 1.4.2.5 ELMER C. VILLAS- CITY ARCHITECT OF CALAPAN CITY
Ar. Villas is the city architect of Calapan city, the only city in Oriental Mindoro. He discussed about the transportation to Oriental Mindoro and the need of convention center. In Oriental Mindoro the immediate access are the water transportation because because if it is airport there will be chances of having a delayed flight. Also, water transportation are mostly used in Oriental Mindoro. But if there is private planes there is still a landing for those transportation. For the convention center, there is a really a need of Oriental Midoro since the place of assembly or large events held only in gymnasium of schools. So when there is a gathering of 500 people of delegates, Oriental Mindoro cannot handle this through venues and accommdation. accommdation. CHAPTER 1.4.3 NEED ANALYSIS CHAPTER 1.4.3.1 CONVENTION/ EXHIBITION CENTER
In the case study, exhibition center is located in near accessible to the land, air and water transportation. Also, hotels must be near in an exhibition center for the accommodation of the foreign and local tourists. For the façade, the building must represent what it markets. In this situation, Philippine Trade Training Center was originally to market machinery machinery products and etc. but now their mandate change and because of this, design of the structure must be changed. Even though exhibition center is only a part of their building it must reflect what the objective of the building is. Also, few and tinted windows making it less welcoming. Even the type of gates controls the people coming in. one of the important factors also is the colors and materials used. This affects the mood of the building. Though the color of the building shows calming of the structure and also represents of trustworthy and committed diverse with its massive concrete structure. However the having 1 primary color makes it dull. Landscaping also affects the building like blocking the t he façade. Inside of the Philippine Trade Training Center is a noticeable cafeteria in front of the lobby. Placement of the cafeteria and its design doesn‘t comply with the design of the high
ceiling lobby. Also, there is no better partition in the cafeteria that is awkward placement placement for the cafeteria since it is place in the main lobby. In the building is the only food establishment which this limits the food choices of the people.
One of the factors that must considered is maintenance of the building. According to Engr. Magsino 3 things that being working on are the maintenance, utilities and sustainability of the building. Type of room must have limits on its functions like design of the rooms. It must have acoustical design depending on the functions. In the utilities of the building toilets are lacking. CHAPTER 1.4.3.2 HOTEL
Same as the convention, mostly are the facades have less characteristics showing to. Sustainability and green designs are lacking in the structure. Also, problems with the hotels are the maintenance of the facilities and how to maintain the user‘s comfortability. One will the problems are the use of air-conditions, lightings and its utilities. Since of all of the time the temperature must be average. One of the problems also the accessibility of the transportation. Though all of the time there is any kind of transportation in the pearl manila hotel. Still, traffic always experienced in the location. CHAPTER 1.4.3.3 ORIENTAL MINDORO
This analysis is for the need of Oriental Mindoro. To know if Oriental Mindoro need to have a hotel convention center. According to the interviews all of interviewee agrees to have a convention center. Local citizens of Oriental Mindoro only use gymnasiums of different schools or outdoor area for any kinds of large events. It is said that this is not enough to their events. They cannot held a large events for the regional events. Even the cultural events for the
regional. Also, one thing to consider is the accommodations in Oriental Mindoro. Most of the establishments establishments are motels and apartelles only few are hotels. CHAPTER 1.4.4 QUALITATIVE OR QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS CHAPTER 1.4.4.1 Survey

CHAPTER 1.4.5 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION CHAPTER 1.4.6.1 HOTEL AND CONVENTION/ EXHIBITION CENTER
The location of the building must be accessible to transportation. Especially for water and air transportation. There must be a limit of time for the tourists can go in the convention center. Hotels also must be near in the convention center for the accommodation of the local and foreign tourists. For the façade, it is important to design this on what is the purpose of it. Especially in the proposal, it must show the cultures and traditions of the Oriental Mindoro because local and foreign tourists not only they visit the island meetings and events but also to know what is in Oriental Mindoro. Every detail of the façade affects the objective of the building. It must show openness and welcoming in the building since one of the purpose of the building is to market. The colors and material must have different kinds of variations. Also, in the site of the building it must be well designed from the landscaping to the circulation of the people coming in and out of the building. Type of vegetation must be chosen carefully especially if this will block the façade of the building. It is better if there is a wide landscape in front of the convention center notice the structure easily. The target must be the one depend your façade and area. Aside from the façade of the building, inside of the building must also consider. Especially the circulation, maintenance, utilities and sustainability of the building. In maintaining maintaining the building, if the building would be developed as green building less maintenance needed for the energy consumption. The buildings must be design as green sustainable since it is now demanding in the market and it will be a great advantage also in the energy consumption especially almost of the time power is needed in a hotel and convention center.
CHAPTER 1.4.6.2 ORIENTAL MINDORO (SITE)
`
Because of the data collected through interviews and surveys it conclude that Oriental
Mindoro need to have a convention center. Since it is the host of MIMAROPA. Also, it is in the center of the Philippines. It is easier to other cities and provinces to go in the island. Also, for the international tourist. This will a great profit in the tourism to urism in the Oriental Mindoro. Given the fact of having the Oriental Mindoro rich with the famous Puerto galera, undiscovered tourist spots and rich cultures and tradition of mangyans this will gain new experience by the local and international tourists. Also, not only the increase of tourism in the place is the reason Oriental Mindoro itself needs a venue non-sports events. Gymnasiums the usual venues for large events are not designed for such occasions. There may have convention center but is only small and it can‘t accommodate the entire Oriental Mindoro. For the hotels in Oriental Mindoro, there is
existing establishments but it is not enough if there will be large convention center. Also, most of the establishments are motels and apartelle only few are hotels accommodate a first class. Recommendation is to have the hotel convention is in a beach front since tourists wants to have a rural experience. CHAPTER 2 RESEARCH FOCUS CHAPTER 2.1 RATIONALE
There are many events in Oriental Mindoro unfortunately there are no existing proper venues for different kinds of events. Oriental Mindoro needs a proper venue that will cater the local citizens as well as international and local tourists. It will not only be the benefit for the local citizens but also the tourism in Oriental Mindoro. One of the considerations is the hotels. There are only few hotel that shows first class. This is one of the innovations of the proposal.
To have an integrated hotel and convention center for the accommodation of the local and international tourist. Since the setting is in the island, limited choices of accommodation will have. This kind of structures are mostly now unsustainable. Proposing a convention center and hotels must be in a sustainable sustainable and green design. Because most of the designs are towards this style especially that this both structures consume so much carbon emission. To achieve this depending the innovation to its surroundings and that can showcase what is in Oriental Mindoro CHAPTER 2.2 PRINCIPLES AND RELEVANCE TO THE PROJECT CHAPTER Life Cycle Design
The principles of Life Cycle Design provide important guidelines for the selection of building materials. Each step of the manufacturing process, from gathering raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, and installation, to ultimate reuse or disposal, is examined for its environmental environmental impact. A material‘s life cycle can be organized into three phases: Pre-Building; Building; and Post-
Building. These stages parallel parallel the life cycle phases of the building itself (see this compendium‘s ―Sustainable ―Sustainable Building Design‖ module). The evaluation of building mat erials‘ environmental
impact at each stage allows for a cost-benefit analysis over the lifetime a building, rather than simply an accounting of initial construction costs. Pre-Building Phase
The Pre-Building Phase describes the production and delivery process of a material up to, but not including, the point of installation. This includes discovering raw materials in nature as well as extracting, manufacturing, packaging, and transportation to a building site. This phase has the most potential for causing environmental damage. Understanding the environmental impacts in the pre-building phase will lead to the wise selection of building materials. Raw
material procurement methods, the manufacturing process itself, and the distance from the manufacturing location to the building site all have environmental consequences. An awareness of the origins of building materials is crucial to an understanding of their collective environmental environmental impact when expressed in the form of a building. Post-Building Phase
The Post-Building Phase refers to the building materials when their usefulness in a building has expired. At this point, a material may be reused in its entirety, have its components recycled back into other products, or be discarded. BIOCLIMATIC ARCHITECTURE in association with Landscaping
Bioclimatic is a sector of architecture that dominated by the principles of ecology and sustainability. The term "bioclimatic design" implies design which aims to protect the environment environment and natural resources. resources. The aim of o f bioclimatic architecture is to create urban areas and buildings that are designed in order to fully cover their energy requirements without without induce environmental
damage.
Key elements of bioclimatic building design are passive systems, which are the components of a building. Passive systems operate without mechanical parts or additional power supply and naturally warm and cool buildings. They are divided into three categories:
Passive solar heating systems
Passive natural cooling techniques and
Systems and day lighting techniques The relation between bioclimatic bioclimatic architecture and landscape architecture
Vernacular Vernacular Architecture Architecture
Indigenous builders use local climate, culture and materials to guide their processes instead of years of formal schooling. The constraint of locality may limit formal elements, materials, and size to vernacular builders, but making choices inside the presented constraints allows for innovation to take place outside of initial expectations. Before the industrial revolution, around 200 materials were used in the building trades worldwide. Most of those materials were the same nearly everywhere: wood, straw, brick, stone and. Even with such a limited array of materials, widely different uses and forms evolved in different locations. Specifying boundaries does not have to limit options. Ethnic architecture architecture in the Philippines refers to different forms of folk and vernacular architecture architecture found among the different ethnolinguistic communities in the country. These forms include dwellings, whether permanent or makeshift, granaries, fortifications, places of worship, and other temporary structures. Ethnic architecture is created by the different ethnolinguistic communities in the Philippines, from lowland communities to communities communities in the Cordilleras, the Visayan Islands, Islands, Mindanao, Mindanao, and other other adjacent islands. islands. CHAPTER 2.3 APPLICATION TO THE PROJECT
Application to the project is composed of 2 innovations. Sustainability Sustainability through wind turbines and using building materials in the site. Wind turbines that are bladeless that will be applied in the structure. The second innovation is through vernacular architecture in the location. Oriental Mindoro has vernacular architecture. However, Oriental Mindoro‘s vernacular architecture has
only limited data.
structure creates an intricate pattern
of void spaces. These empty spaces can now be occupied by so-called Vertical Axis Wind Turbines. It does not propose to use a new category of turbines; it deploys an existing type: the eddy. These flower-like turbines are just orchestrated in a refreshing way.

containing a fan. It is then sent up into a ring and comes out specially shaped slit all around the ring where it passes over a shape like that of an aircraft wing. The negative pressure formed sucks more air through the ring. The air coming out of the ring drags even more air from around the ring. There is fifteen times the airflow coming out of the ring as goes into the base. The industrial designer named his fan the air multiplier.
The innovation is to convert the common wind turbines that applied in the structure like dyson fan. If this will be applied to the building. it is more aesthetically improved and more safe since there are no blades
CHAPTER 3 SITE IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
This chapter presents the how the process of the site selection have been done. Also, what are the criteria that must follow for a better site? This must be justify through selecting in 3 potential sites. This will be depending in the characteristics of the site and if this will be the most suitable site for the proposal CHAPTER 3.1 SITE SELECTION PROCESS CHAPTER 3.1.1 CRITERIA FOR SITE SELECTION

CHAPTER 3.1.2.2 PINAMALAYAN
CHAPTER 3.1.2.3 PINAMALAYAN SITE c
Pinamalayanan Pinamalayanan is definition of raindown of ethnicity and modernism. It is the soon-to-be city that offers a land that can expand with the development of agricultural, commercial and
industrial. Pinamalayan is now a center of trade and commercial activities since it influence the other provinces like Socorro, Pola, Gloria and Bansud also the provinces of Marinduque and Romblon. It said that it is one of the provinces that has an extremely well positioned in the provincial growth. One of the advantage is that it is in the center of the province that shows developments of facilities. The site is located at the Pinamalayanan, Oriental Mindoro adjacent to the strong republic nautical hwy. Few structures are surrounding the site. Also, no vegetation but field only. In front of it is the agricultural field and also near at the beach and the municipalities. Though the weakness of the site is the transportation to the piers are far from the site. The international and local tourist will have the longer t ime period in the transportation t ransportation going to the site. Also, it is not that developed that in the Calapan city. Region

CHAPTER 3.1.3 SITE SELECTION AND JUSTIFICATION
The chosen site is Site A complies with the requirements of the proposal. Since among the 3 sites, this site is the largest and suitable for the proposal. Having a 21 hectares is admirable because of potential future developments that can be built. Especially that majority in the location is residentials and agricultural. Less competitors that the proposal would have. Because of large site there are more development like commercial areas and other accomodations. Also, transportation is a benefit with the site since it is beside the calapan airport and a few meters away is the seaport where majority of the tourists used the seaport in calapan city. This is also in the provincial road. Also it is adjacent to the beach seeing the Silonay Island and Horca Piloto. In site B, there are existing squatters. This can be the employees of the hotel and convention since it is a large project for the Oriental Mindoro and an opportunity for labor employment. They will be relocated with a better housing. The site is suitable since it is located in an rural area but there is an easy access to the city. Majority that will used this is a benefit for the since majority of the local citizens are in calapan city, local and international tourists will be few minutes to go to the site. The best location for applying the innovation, goals and objectives ng proposal. Beach front and its sustainability. Also, calapan has already many establishments and tourist spots like restaurants, malls etc. few minutes away is the famous tourist spot in Mindoro, the white beach Puerto Galera.

Solid Waste Management and MRF Establishment
The City Environment and Natural Resources Department accomplished effectively the proper waste collection and disposal procedures in accordance to national and local policies. Substantial reduction in the volume of garbage generated in CY 2013 in the 51 service barangays was noticed because of the mandatory establishment of Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). Recyclables were sold to buyback centers (junkshops) and biodegradable materials were composted, reducing bulk of solid waste collected by the city government. The number of service barangays increased by 21 % for 2013. CENRD is continuously conducting meetings with street sweepers, collectors and waste keepers for their sensitive tasks and duties.
