The CASE STUDY

In this part, you will present case studies of previous architectural

studies, whether proposed or existing. This study will give your
proponent (client) more information about the project through
investigation of existing structures or otherwise which are related to
the one being proposed. Critiquing is an important aspect of this
chapter. You should not be solely dependent on references found
in textbooks. Actual gathering of information from existing local
structures related to the thesis topic is highly advisable. Case studies
to be presented shall be composite of local and foreign cases
preferably a set of two foreign and one local or two locals and one
foreign. You are going to search for meanings or inspiration from
the cases NOT necessarily copying them.

The CASE STUDY

What is the purpose of conducting a Case Study?
As the term Case Study suggests, it is the study of a particular case that
is similar to your topic of design project. Doing a case study will help
you understand the various aspects that you have to consider while
designing.
