CHAPTER 1: BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
DEFINITION:
A park is an area of natural, semi-natural or planted space set aside for human enjoyment and recreation
or for the protection of wildlife or natural habitats. It may consist of grassy areas, rocks, soil and trees,
but may also contain buildings and other artifacts such as monuments, fountains or playground
structures. In North America, many parks have fields for playing sports such as association football,
baseball and football, and paved areas for games such as basketball. Many parks have trails for walking,
biking and other activities. Some parks are built adjacent to bodies of water or watercourses and may
comprise a beach or boat dock area. Often, the smallest parks are in urban areas, where a park may take
up only a city block or less and is ideally within a 10-Minute Walk of its residents. Urban parks often have
benches for sitting and may contain picnic tables and barbecue grills. Parks have differing rules regarding
whether dogs can be brought into the park: some parks prohibit dogs; some parks allow them with
restrictions (e.g., use of a leash); and some parks, which may be called "dog parks", permit dogs to run
off-leash.
The largest parks can be vast natural areas of hundreds of thousands of seventy meters (thousands of
square miles), with abundant wildlife and natural features such as mountains and rivers. There are also
amusement parks which have live shows, fairground rides, refreshments, and games of chance/skill.
Amusement parks are the largest types of park in the world. In many large parks, camping in tents is
allowed with a permit. Many natural parks are protected by law, and users may have to follow
restrictions (e.g., rules against open fires or bringing in glass bottles). Large national and sub-national
parks are typically overseen by a park ranger or a park warden. Large parks may have areas for canoeing
and hiking in the warmer months and, in some northern hemisphere countries, cross-country skiing and
snowshoeing in colder months.

BRIEF HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

Memories of the past are important for us to create a more beautiful future. Remnants of structures
rebuilt are enough for people to be reminded of its rich history, and create boundless memories in the
present. An adaptive reuse is a way of preserving old buildings and creating new meaning out of them;
retaining its historic and remarkable features as an advantage to a new purpose it will be serving for the
next generation. It is an artistic approach in breathing new life to structures instead of completely
demolishing them.

The Spanish and American colonization in the Philippines from 1500s-1900s brought about cultural and
structural changes in the country. These Colonizers aimed to improve commemorative buildings, hence,
the construction of the most commonly built structures in every city barrios/ barangay is the iconic
portion of the place; a PARK. Park is managed by the Local Government Units (LGUs) such as the City
Administrator itself, and the smallest unit of the LGUs, the BARANGAY Administration.

Camerino Park also known as “PLAZA CAMERINO” is an iconic park in Project 4, Quezon City. Due to its
popularity, the park and its existing structures have been consolidated its precious image as time passes
by. The proposed project would be a whole tear –off and dismantling of the existing structures, as it is
proposed to redeveloped and rehabilitated to cater the needs of the neighborhood, citizens, and the users
that fond the said park.

LOCAL:

1. La Mesa Ecopark

Covering an area of 33 hectares (82 acres), the public park is located along the
natural boundary of the La Mesa Watershed Reservation and its elevation is
about 40 meters(130ft) below than the reservoir

After years of neglect, the park underwent a renovation under the “Save La
Mesa Watershed Project”, a collaboration between Bantay Kalikasan, the
Mertropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System and the Locacl Government
of Quezon City. A fund amounting of Php 247 million was raised for the

 Page 3
rehabilitation of the park. It was reopened in September 2004 and was
renamed as “La Mesa Ecopark”.

Among the activities that can be done by visitors in the park are hiking,
mountain-biking, horseback riding, rappelling, zip-lining and fishing,. They can
also paddle boat ride in the lagoon. The park also has an “ecotrail” and an
orchidarium.

The park also hosts a swimming complex which was opened in 2011. It had
previous one which was destroyed by Typhoon Ketsana (ONDOY) in
September 2009. In a 2011 report, the park has annual visitor of 280 thousand
people.

 CHAPTER 5: SITE ANALYSIS

Geography
The geography of the City of Quezon City is the most populous city in the Philippines. It was founded and
named after the late Commonwealth President Manuel Luis Quezon, the 2nd President of the Philippines ,
to replace Manila as the National capital. The city was proclaimed as capital in 1948 and held status until
1976 when the proclamation was reverted.
Almost all of the city sits atop of centuries of prehistoric alluvial deposits built up by some land reclaimed
from Quezon City. Some of the natural variations in topography have been evened out due to the
urbanization of the city.

Climate
Under the Köppen climate classification system, Quezon City has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw).
Together with the rest of the Philippines, Quezon City lies entirely within the tropics. Its proximity to
the equator means that temperatures are hot year-round, rarely going below 21 °C (

Ramps
The requirements of sub-article 3.3.15.2
shall be deemed satisfied where a ramp not less than 1.2
meters in width is provided
for the use of persons with disabilities in wheelchairs, is constructed at a gradient not steeper than 1:12,
and is finished with a non-slip surface

Ramps should be provided to all entr

ances, if not then at least to
one entrance and in these circumstances, preferably the principal
entrance to the building. Steps should also be provided for people
who can easily and safely negotiate
up and down stairs instead of a
steeper ramp.
A 100mm kerb (minimum) should be used to denote any open edge of the ramp together with a handrail
on both sides.

CIRCULATION
The CYBERPARK shall have a proper space planning so that the employees and the
costumers can easily circulate the whole building

In architecture, circulation refers to the way people move through and interact with a building. In public
buildings, circulation is of high importance; Structures such as elevators, escalators, and staircases are
often referred to as circulation elements, as they are positioned and designed to optimize the flow of
people through a building, sometimes through the use of a core.

 SAFETY AND SECURITY
-Providing good safety and security in cyberpark by providing guard
visibility,guard post and cctv around the cyberpark development

-Safety and security is important in development and in the building for the people or user to feel
secure and safe inside the building

AESTHETICS
The building shall have a good interior and exterior design , the cyberpark will be eye
catching to the costumers,it must not good only in structurally,but also good in aesthetics

ORIENTATION
Positioning the cyberpark at the right orientation for a better usage of sunlight and wind

Orientation is the positioning of a building in relation to seasonal variations in the sun’s path as well as
prevailing wind patterns. Good orientation can increase the energy efficiency of your home, making it
more comfortable to live in and cheaper to run.

 ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY
By providing trees, shrubs, ground, covers and other for landscape of the site for
aesthetical and functional reason

Landscaping can also help the energy-

efficiency of your home. Well planned
and implemented landscaping can
provide trees for shade, shrubs to
direct cooling breezes, and open areas
for the accumulation of winter snow.
Landscaping also allows for easier
navigation through your yard.

-MEMBRANE TYPE WATER PROOFING

waterproofing membrane is a thin layer of water-tight material that is laid over a surface.
This layer is continuous and does not allow water to pass through it. For example, on a flat
terrace, a waterproofing membrane could be laid above the structural slab and below the
finish tiles. This will ensure that water does not seep into the structural slab. The tiles and
membrane must be laid over a filler material that is sloped to ensure that water flows into
sumps and drains. Any water that remains as puddles over the tiles is likely to seep into the
slab over time, so puddles are to be avoided at all costs
