Improve facility
Office needs
Artistic requirements
Help achieve the
NCCA objectives
through Architecture

NCCA Office is not

just an office but a
place for artistic
values such as
performing arts and
visual arts and
culture and heritage
importance.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Intends to provide well planned and strategic

agency for culture and the arts

Cater the needs of such agency

Cultivate and improve a functional NCCA

which will provide the facilities they need to
deliver as it implies to their purpose and
reflects their purpose

PROJECT GOAL
Provide and adapt to a facility that an arts
commission office can cater and function properly
with proper spaces needed and dedicated for such
agency

STRATEGIES
Research background about the agency
Study existing structure and find problematic issues
architecturally
Learn the needed spaces by their own office preferences
Study the required spaces
Conduct case studies in the current office
Conduct surveys and interviews regarding their agency

FINDING AND ANALYSIS

SURVEY:

With the survey given to the employees, the researcher found out the more than 52% of the
surveyed employees were working at the National Commission for Culture and the Arts greater
than 5 years.

Many of them are satisfied with the agency although the facilities that help accommodate
their services are not given by the office.

The building space in the office is adequate yet it lacks storage areas for the documents coming
in of the office.

The traffic going to the office may be heavy but at the vicinity of the site is not. Their problem from
outside environment that affects them is the noise. They have informal settlers in front of
their office and they can not do anything about it.

Although many of them said that they are comfortable with the office, they would still want to
have their office redevelop and changed due to the lacking facilities and storages.

FINDING AND ANALYSIS

INTERVIEW WITH MR. EDISON MOLANIDA:

National Commission for Culture and the Arts World Heritage Sites Manager

working in the agency for about 6 years

Mr. Molanida was the one who answers the researchers email regarding the study.

National Commission for Culture and the Arts as the sole policy makers of artists, protectors of cultural arts and preservers of the Philippine
heritage in the whole country.

Proposal of a NCCA Complex Building for the agency to accommodate the lacking facilities present to their office. Facilities lacking due to the
inadequate office space given to them.

They conduct workshops, exhibits, performances and meetings from artists, and committees from all over the Philippines, inviting them over to
have a talk but doesnt have enough

The researcher discussed his plan of Adaptive Reuse of the Metropolitan Theater since the Theater reflects what the agency is about and
fortunately they too had plans of it.

He then explained that their idea for the future plan is to be relocated at the Metropolitan Theater during the Atienza Administration and apply
adaptive reuse to the historic building as to preserve its heritage values. All they have yet is the idea but without formal actions.

They believe they have the funds needed and they are willing to do all necessary actions to pursue the relocation of their office.

The existing National Commission for Culture and the Arts Office building is to be swapped to another government agency when they start to
relocate because the building they are using today is only donated.

FINDING AND ANALYSIS

INTERVIEW WITH CAROLINE MIZAL:
Head of the Project Development Office Planning and Policy of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.

She then explained the use of their agency, the departments and population of each.

She gave us a tour to every part of the office. At the ground floor is where the exhibits are held. They help provide local artists
with no funds to showcase their art as long as they comply with the requirements of the National Commission for Culture and
the Arts.

She showed us how insufficient it is due to the many requests and they only approve on what can only fit to their exhibit area.
Beside the exhibit area is the only thing that keeps everything in control, the reception area. People go through them first
before entering the office proper.

Future plans: to the Metropolitan Theater. She said that the Metropolitan might be too big to become just their office. They are
planning on making the other parts for rent and she even suggested to have a lodging area to accommodate the
commissioners and guests from other parts of the country. This idea came to them when the office conducted a feasibility
study when committees from Visayas and Mindanao area had a hard time looking for a hotel and they thought that providing
such facility can provide the commissioners less expenses.

Provide their services at the highest quality and adequate needs that the office can offer. She has been telling us how hard it is
to have an insufficient facility because they are having a problem with providing the people the things that they
should be able to provide yet they look for other places that can.

Having such improvement would make themselves more reliable and more trusted in the field of Arts on policy
making and such due to the best services they can deliver to people, an image that artists can look up to.

ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING

NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR CULTURE AND THE ARTS
OFFICE BUILDING

Strengths

Weaknesses

The staffs will be deprived of having a personal space because some spaces are messy in terms of lacking storage areas
Not enough walkway for pedestrians from the outside. Vehicles carriageway is also the path walk.
Not enough daylight and ventilation
Lacks waiting area for the public and doesnt have a lobby in the office
The offices does not have pantry.
Noise traffic is very susceptible.
Lounge is insufficient.
Working areas is also lacking in terms of space. The staffs things are all over the place.

Opportunities

The symmetrical plan provides efficient access to all spaces.

The center provides interaction to the surrounding buildings and commercial spaces.
it has central access.
Planning is typical; public users will not get lost.
Theres a lot of mode of transportation around the vicinity.
Privacy of employees and directors properly separated.
Attrium at the center of the building gives proper air ventilation for the office.

Due to the increasing number of enrolees for dental medicine, the school would benefit from enhancing the development
of higher education in the Philippines.
Its vicinity is suitable for developing functional spaces that would cater students needs

Threats

Scarcity of workshop rooms is a problem from time to time.

Lacking of theaters
Lacking of exhibit areas
Storage facility is in need
There are blind spots and wasted spaces.
The front of the building is informal settlers place
Safeties of the users from the alleys they walk through were not paved and they walk with vehicles.

NEED ANALYSIS

Passive ventilation and daylight to lessen energy use

Plantings as buffer zones for the unpleasant view and would also help absorb noise and
heat
Providing landscaping and trees as a shading device and lessens the carbon emissions of
the office
Proper space planning to avoid wasted spaces and blind spots
Considering number of public visitors in providing waiting and exhibit areas to prevent
scarcity of learning spaces of the office.
Provide storage facilities
Provide special facilities required for a cultural arts complex and an office building for the
agency to be fully effective.
Staff lounge is not provided
Offices doesnt have their own pantry.

Basically, the existing office of the National Commission for

Culture and the Arts is not working perfectly with the mandates,
objectives and missions of the office. Thus, the building they are
using was just donated at the year of 1992. Many architectural
needs were not met due to compromising to the donated
building.

CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATION
The National Commission for Culture and the Arts
existing office building is working properly as a
government agency. But the NCCA is not just an
ordinary government agency but a Cultural Arts
Government Agency.
The existing building is intended for
office environment but not for
workshops, performances, exhibits
and symposiums. Instead, they rent
and conduct these acts out of their
own office.

Pushing through the proposal, it would be

able to provide services at the finest quality
possible and the expectations and goals the
agencys trying to achieve will be done.

Thus, the Metropolitan Theatre is a

facility that an arts commission office
symbolizes perfectly; arts, culture and
tradition of Filipinos

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION
NCCA works perfectly as an
organized
government
office but the agency is not
just an ordinary office but a
cultural and artistic center
that conducts and promotes
artistic and filipino culture
arts and heritage. They lack
spaces that would support
their mandates, thus the
building they are using as
their
office
was
only
donated and not really
intended for their use.

Using Metropolitan Theater as their

new office would fit not just their
spatial needs but also the character
and perspective of people to their
agency. Thus, no drastic changes are
to be done because somehow the
Theaters architectural spaces are the
spaces lacking from the NCCAs Office.

RELEVANCE OF THE PROJECT

Re-using existing buildings for new
functions has many sustainable,
cultural, economic, and place making
advantages.
The advantage of adaptive reuse can
be linked to a memory and cultural
value rather than built heritage.
The use of Metropolitan Theater as
the NCCA Office has cultural
significance and similarities as well as
concrete community value to it. Thus,
they can help protect and preserve
and secure the historical structure.

SITE SELECTION PROCESS

Criteria for Selection

Site contours
The connectivity to the main road and other sub roads
The distances from the major landmarks such as:

Shopping centres
Railway Station
Airport
Bus stand
Schools
Church

Geological and hydrological structure of the site

Accessibility to the site
Major Landmarks
Orientation of the Site
Economic Feasibility
Sustainability Factors
Site Services
Historic Importance

SITE JUSTIFICATION

Even with the given structure, the Metropolitan Theater, it still meets the criteria of the site
selection process.

Also, the historic value of this site suits well for the new office of the National Commission for
Culture and the Arts since one of their advocacy is to preserve heritage site and protect them
from decay. Using it again, not too far from its original purpose, to serve another purpose is
better than leaving it abandoned.

Memory and Place

Vicinity
Environmental Sustainability
Efficiency

Making the Metropolitan Theater become fully functional, alive, and working not just an old
abandoned structure but an office that aims preservation and protection for heritage sites.

There are many features met by applying adaptive reuse to a historical site more over using
it as an office of cultural agency where preservation of heritage is one of their main goals.
Such structure would be in good hands if it will house an agency that tends to protect is
cultural value.

SITE ANALYSIS

SITE JUSTIFICATION
The Metropolitan Theater is a national landmark, a
heritage site, great historical value, full of culture and
tradition and a work of many National Artists from the
structure itself to the interior decorations.
The Metropolitan Theaters character , architecturally,
suits on what the National Commission for Culture and the
Arts agency advocates for. There is no other agency in the
Philippines that would deserve to house the national
historical site thus it will sure be maintained and
protected by the right people.
Met reflects culture and so the objective of NCCA.

APPROACH ON ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE METROPOLITAN THEATRE

FOR THE NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR CULTURE AND
THE ARTS CULTURAL COMPLEX AGENCY

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
DE GUZMAN, Jonah Neill Bryan D. |
2010122707

ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT
PALIMPSE
written surface that
ST Any
has been erased and used

Implication of the essence of the past

while incorporating the present needs
of the community.

Preserving character, transforming

purpose.

for a new text. (medieval

parchments) can be
applied metaphorically to
recycled architecture.

New economic realities

and changing public
attitudes towards the
national heritage.

Modifies, alters, extends

and re-arranges on a built
over structure is a kind of
palimpsest

ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT

Interior: Views
The existing plan of theater is a
combination of edges and curves, and this
enables the future users to transform a
simple view into a different perspective

STRUCTURAL CONCEPT

Shoring

Permanent support
Structural alterations.
Like adaptation work, no two
shoring operations are the
same. Each one must be
considered on its own merits in
terms of duration of use,
loading condition, risk of
structural failure, and need for
protection of people and the
environment

Retrofit: Retain and Restore

All possible structural technology

and improve the strength.
Engineering Studies of
Metropolitan Theater 2006 by
Schema Konsult Inc.

UTILITY CONCEPT

Engineering Studies of Metropolitan

Theater by Schema Konsult:
Concept for the electrical, lighting,
acoustics, vegetation and the like were
provided with detailed plans and has
been conducted researches to revive,
restore and improve the said needs of
the deteriorating structure.
