Student Guidelines for the

Development and Implementation of the
Architecture Thesis Program:
Architectural Design 9
Background
The Architecture Thesis Program is composed of three parts, namely: Research Methods in
Architecture (RMA), Architectural Design 9 (AD9) and Architectural Design 10 (AD10).
At the end of the AD9 course, the students should be able:
• To have undertaken a thorough research of an architectural problem (encompassing design

and planning, sustainability, history and theory, laws, building technology and systems,
and building materials) which is of their own chosen topic;
• To synthesize gathered information and translate into a viable design solution; and
• To compile and submit research material into an approved thesis book together with
schematic designs suggesting the injection of a new and innovative thought in the approach
to the design solution.
This compilation should be submitted in a manner befitting the work of an architecture

student in his final year.
Architectural Design 9
Architectural Design 9 (AD9) is the formation of design research as the foundation for the
creation of a design solution.
It is based on the premise that the student has completed and passed all the requirements of
RMA and that the RMA proposal, which is its final output, has been reviewed by the RMA
Adviser and can be further developed into a thesis proposal.
1.0 Scope of Work. The scope of work for AD9 includes the following:
• Submission of a Thesis Proposal with subsequent approval by the College Dean;

• Submission of the unbounded ‘pre-final’ Thesis Book;
• Satisfactory compliance of all the requirements of the Architectural Thesis
Logbook covering AD9; and
• Completion of the project’s preliminary drawings.

2.0 Expected Output. This listing represents the minimum output that shall be submitted
in the AD9 Thesis Proposal and Thesis Book. Students are expected to proofread and
edit their proposals and theses books for grammar, spelling, syntax, and citation style
prior to any submission. Students shall, at all times, follow the University’s Code of
Conduct and Discipline and shall refrain from plagiarism and other forms of
dishonesty in thesis writing.
2.1 The Thesis Proposal helps you focus your project before you begin the work.
It is essential to narrow the project topic to a manageable size. Students who
take on a project that is too large in scope always struggle to finish on time.
The proposal does not wholly reflect finished work as some aspects of your
thesis may change as you complete the project.
The proposal shall serve as a contract or plan-of-action for your thesis.
The Thesis Proposal consists of the following:
• Cover page;
• Letter of Proposal to be signed by the student and endorsed by the Thesis
Adviser and approved by the Dean;
• Certificate to Proceed to be signed by the Dean;
• Contents, List of Figures, and List of Tables;
• Chapter I Introduction;
• Chapter II Review of Related Literature;
• Chapter III Research Methodology;
• Chapter IV Site Selection; and
• References.
2.2 The Thesis Book: Pre-Final Report consists of the following:
• Cover page;
• Signed Letter of Proposal;
• Signed Certificate to Proceed;
• Contents, List of Figures, and List of Tables;
• Abstract;
• Chapter I Introduction;
• Chapter II Review of Related Literature;
• Chapter III Research Methodology;
• Chapter IV Site Profile and Analysis;
• Chapter V Project Profile and Analysis;
• Chapter VI Technical Research Data Presentation;
• Chapter VII Space Programming and Analysis;
• Chapter VIII Conceptual Development;
• References; and
• Appendices.

3.0 Architectural Thesis Logbook. The Logbook contains a calendar of all activities
including checklists, policies and guidelines as well as documentation forms
(attendance to thesis forum and weekly consultation with the Adviser) that shall aid
the student during the entire thesis program. Students are required to bring the
logbook at all times, especially during consultations with the Adviser for proper
monitoring of the performance of the student. Students are expected to diligently take
down notes during consultation. Make sure that the Adviser reviews and signs after
every scheduled consultation.
4.0 Thesis Proposal and Book Format. The body of both Thesis Proposal and Thesis
Book shall conform to the prescribed format: typewritten on A4 size bond paper with
1.5-inch margin on top & left side and 1.0-inch margin on all other sides, left or left &
right justified, double-spaced line spacing using 12 pt Times New Roman, title on
every upper left corner, and page number on every upper right corner.
5.0 AD9 Thesis Adviser. The Adviser is a registered architect and hold a master’s
degree or higher. Advisers are members of the faculty and are held to the same
responsibilities and standards. Their professional and academic qualifications enable
Advisers to critically review the thesis being proposed.
Advisers can give valuable input at the earliest stages of proposal development as
RMA Advisers. Once the student reaches Architectural Design 9, the Adviser shall be
responsible for meeting with the student once a week and shall maintain this schedule
throughout the thesis program.
The Thesis Adviser is involved in helping the student maintain the goal and manage
the process of their thesis. In the thesis program, the student plays the role of the
principal architect on a large architectural commission, while the Adviser’s role is one
of senior colleague offering advice and guidance. It demands patience, commitment,
and persistence.
The Adviser-Advisee relationship shall be nurtured during the subsequent phases of

the thesis program. The Adviser shall have the time and ability to communicate one-
on-one and in a group format. The Adviser should be familiar with the specific thesis
research milestones and must ensure that the student prepares for these. Adviser’s
objectivity, judgment, and encouragement are essential to maintain the goals and
parameters that the thesis research requires.
Other duties and responsibilities of the AD9 Thesis Adviser are as follows:
• Guides the student during the preparation of the thesis proposal, discusses their
choice of topic and site;
• Signs the thesis proposal letter prepared by the student;
• Endorses the thesis proposal to the Dean for approval;
• Provides directions and leads to the student’s thesis research;

• Meets regularly with the student to evaluate the weekly progress of his/her
research, to discuss the problems that inevitably arise, and to provide whatever
encouragement and direction that proves necessary;
• Reviews the student's thesis book preliminary draft;
• Reviews the student’s preliminary drawings and thesis book pre-final draft at the
end of the AD9 course;
• Gives the student’s AD9 course grade on the basis of the completeness and quality
of work for both the thesis book pre-final draft and preliminary drawings,
consultation duties, and maturity and attitude;
• Evaluates the students performance after every individual consultation.
6.0 Consultation with Other Faculty Members. Consultations with other UST College
of Architecture professors and/or other private individuals shall be at the student’s
discretion, however, this will not have any bearing on the Adviser’s assessment of the
student’s AD9 course performance.
7.0 Thesis Forums. The Thesis is a comprehensive project that requires integration of
many knowledge bases. Thus, the Thesis Council organizes a series of thesis forums
where students listen and interact as architects and other field specialists talk about a
wide range of topics such as sustainability, building systems, building types, thesis
preparation, etc.
There shall be about four thesis forums throughout the thesis program. Attendance to
all is required.
8.0 Pre-Final Draft Thesis Book Evaluation. The Adviser shall evaluate the extent of
the student’s compliance to all the requirements of the Thesis Book outline
(as indicated in Section 2.2) as to its quality and completeness. If the Adviser finds
the student’s work satisfactory (as Indicated in Section 1.0), the Adviser then signs
the Certificate of Completion at the end of the AD9 course program. The AD9 Final
Evaluation Sheet shall serve as the Adviser’s guide when determining the student’s
final AD9 grade.
9.0 Preliminary Drawings. All plans, elevations, sections, etc. presented during AD9
shall be mechanically drawn. Computer aided drawings shall not be allowed.
10.0 AD9 Policies
10.1 Adviser’s Grading Criteria. The Student’s grade for AD9 shall be based on
the following criteria as evaluated by the Adviser:
• Completeness of the Thesis Book 20%
• Quality of Research / Study 30%
• Completeness of the Preliminary Drawings 10%
• Quality of the Preliminary Drawings 10%
• Adherence to Consultation Duties 25%
• Maturity and Attitude 5%

10.2 Absences. The core of AD9 is based on the student’s diligent consultation and
constant update of his/her progress with the Adviser. Hence, failure to
regularly consult (following the University Policy on Attendance) with the
Adviser shall result to a grade of F.A. or Failure due to absences.
10.3 University Code of Conduct and Discipline. (UST Student Handbook 2005-
2006). As a matter of UST’s University policy, the following are excerpts
from the guidelines which thesis students should be reminded of:
Courtesy. Courtesy is a sign of maturity. Its observance creates a climate of

goodwill and fellowship. Thomasian students must, at all times, be courteous
and respectful of others. Any act of disrespect, either in words or in deeds
done toward University authorities, faculty members, employees, fellow
students and visitors constitute an un-Christian behavior; likewise the
unreasonable refusal to comply with lawful orders of University authorities
and/or their agents constitute an un-Christian behavior.
Thomasian students, who impede, obstruct, prevent or defeat the right and
obligation of a teacher or professor to teach his/her subject, or the right to
attend his/her classes or any official activity shall be subject to disciplinary
action.
Honesty. The University, in accordance with its Catholic teachings, puts a

high premium on the practice of honesty. Consequently, any act of dishonesty
should be avoided. The following are considered acts of dishonesty:
• Forging, altering and/or misusing of University documents, records

credentials or effects;
• Printing and disseminating false information to or about the University;
• Cheating in examinations, projects, homework, and/or other schoolworks;
• Plagiarizing; and
• Similar situations.
Diligence. A Thomasian student gives honor to his family and to the

University by being diligent in his studies. He/She should have a natural thirst
for knowledge and view his/her attendance in the University as an opportunity
to learn and improve himself/herself. Thus, a student must be:
• Punctual;
• Present in his/her classes and participate in school-sanctioned activities;
and
• Prepared for his lessons, homeworks, and examinations.
Good Grooming.
Decency and Modesty in Action. A Thomasian student must, at all times act
with proper decorum and etiquette.
