I.INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

A convention center is a building or group of buildings designed, in most cases, for the purpose of
conducting meetings, rallies, or seminars. It may also be adapted for specific events, such as
appearances by well-known speakers or musicians. In some cases, meetings or other events take
place in centers or buildings not specifically designed for conventions, but large enough to
accommodate attendees.

Business conventions and seminars may take place at a convention center that is conveniently located
to the attendees. This may still be a distance from the attendees hometown, but event planners aim to
find a location that involves the least amount of travel for all attending. If conventions take place over a
few days, or offer multiple seminars, the center may be attached to lodgings, so that people attending
do not have to consider additional travel expenses. Sometimes, those attending a convention must pay
a fee that includes lodging fees.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Convention center design has evolved significantly over the past ten years, impacted by changing
economic conditions and the evolving expectations of meeting planners, building operators and
convention attendees. The industry has been faced with significant challenges the recession
resulted in fewer people attending fewer events annually, impacting many cities and associated
hotels and restaurants that depend on conventions to generate revenue. Despite the challenges,
the industry remains a vital economic keystone as city leaders recognize the importance of a
quality convention center in drawing large-scale conferences and ultimately, national attention, to
their city. Born out of the need for dedicated meeting spaces away from the traditional corporate
environment, a new breed of meeting venue has emerged in the last few decades the purpose-built
conference centre.
These multi-functional buildings are designed to maximise attendees productivity and concentration by
offering a dedicated learning environment in high quality private surroundings.
Facilities typically include self-contained conference buildings, break-out rooms, exhibition spaces,
dedicated dining rooms and social areas. For added comfort and convenience, todays purpose-built
conference centres usually provide on-site overnight accommodation, leisure facilities and free parking.
Lane End Conference Centre was one of the first purpose-built conference centres in the UK. It
opened its doors in 1969 and today it boasts five distinct buildings each with a dedicated conference
suite, lounge, bar, diing room and a number of dedicated bedrooms for residential events.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The challenge facing the design team is finding the balance between the amount of
contiguous exhibition space desirable to meet near-term market demand and the
reasonable capacity of the expansion site, given riverfront development guidelines and the
urban context. to ensure that the combination of exhibition, meeting and multipurpose
space provides a balanced facility from the user perspective and has the right amount of
public and service areas to provide an exceptional guest experience while improving
operational efficiency. Computer modeling examines how an audience of a given size
would use the existing Convention Center, and then compares that audience to the
function space available with the Completion Project. This approach identifies the demand
for space for different types of event functions banquet, plenary session, breakout
meetings and exhibition and compares the demand to the available space.
Improvements to functional efficiency are of equal importance to the marketability of the
Convention Center. By providing a better mix of space that is more attractive to a wider
audience. While the new construction will not significantly increase the size of groups to
be attracted to the facility, the greatest opportunity will be to market conventions with
banquets for groups from 1,000 to 1,500 attendees.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Sustainability Goals within their Sustainable Practices Policy, Promotes environmental
responsibility through our practice of sustainable design and the application of green
measures. Our process goes beyond the LEED evaluation system to ensure that
environmental principles are carefully integrated into the entire process. The Conceptual
Design approach outlined in this report anticipates being able to achieve a LEED Silver
Certification for the Completion Project. Elements of our sustainable strategies are
discussed within the Design Narrative that follows. Application of Building Code of the
Philippines throughout the design process would be a great help in considering the design
of the structure, and safeness of the user. Also users would be a great influence in
considerations for designing and constructing a sustainable convention center needed.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

- A Sustainable Convention center
- Application of Natural lighting and ventilation throughout the structure
- Provide public amenities and activities along theTrail to encourage day and evening
use.
- Improve access for pedestrians arriving
- Locate meeting rooms adjacent to the Exhibition Hall
- Provide interior and exterior spaces with views

II. CASE STUDY

ARCHITECTURAL FEAUTURES
Rainwater harvesting-to accumulate and deposition of rain water to reuse on site. The harvested water can also be used as
drinking water.

Stronger Concrete-adding cellulose nano crystal derived from wood fiber to concrete. Nano-reinforced materials
typically outperform conventional alternatives across a range of mechanical and chemical propertiesamong them
strength, impact resistance, and flexibility.
Photovoltaic glazing- Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) glazing can help buildings generate their own electricity, by
turning the whole building envelope into a solar panel.
ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT
FISHING BOAT AND NET

College of Architecture
For its concept we used Fishing boat and net. It greatly shows the richness of the land of alabang/muntinlupa from its
water sources and resources. Laguna de Bay to the east, the largest lake in the country. It is given the nickname "Emerald
City of the Philippines" by the tourism establishment and also known as the "Gateway to Calabarzon" as it is the southernmost

city of the National Capital Region. The lake has been used as a navigation lane for passenger boats since the Spanish
colonial era. It is also used as a source of water for the Kalayaan Pumped-Storage Hydroelectric Project in Kalayaan, Laguna.
Other uses include fishery, aquaculture, recreation, food support for the growing duck industry, irrigation and a "virtual" cistern
for domestic, agricultural, and industrial effluents. Because of its importance in the development of the Laguna de Bay Region,
unlike other lakes in the country, its water quality and general condition are closely monitored. This important water resource
has been greatly affected by development pressures like population growth, rapid industrialization, and resources allocation
Alabang, Muntinlupa has also a public wet and dry market. This also serves as the city main market. It show case and serves
its fresh fishes farmed from their own nets from Laguna de bay. The market greatly show how alabang, muntinlupa is rich from
its
water resources
ARCHITECTURAL FINDINGS
Accesibilty
Design space to meet the specific needs of student and teachers and specially
PWDs.
Design for future flexibility, which enable spaces to be easily modified.
Functional
Provided platform spaces for gathering, sitting, presenting, reading, and
studying.
Connect the spaces with relative presicion.
Sustainble
Use energy, water and other resources efficiently.
Integrate high performance of mechanical and lighting system.
Conserve and protect natural areas.

Safety/Security
Control acces to the building and grounds by individual and vehicles.
Providing a directory and Facilitiy policy.
Providing a space or area in case of emergency.
Productive
Use a natural ventilation
Attach the concept of a building as a learning tool.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The sites location is located nearby river, highway, mal hospital and public government building. The river may serve as a
good complexion throughout the design concept given in the structure but the most noticeable from its river is its sanitation.we
do recommend that it may be cleaned and filtered so it may put in a good use and a good view from the exterior and interior of
the building. Also a recommendation to expressway (slex) noise and access trough the conventional center. Access through
the mall and convention center with be a good thing. By putting trails, side walks and pedestrian lanes also free public
transports acces thorugh the convention center would be easy and accommodating.

III. SITE INVENTORY

Site Selection
Choosing a site on which to locate a new home is not a simple task. Countless factors natural, man-made, social and
economic must be examined. Where we choose to build and how we build on a site have an impact on the local and
global environments, ongoing costs (utility bills, maintenance) and our physical and psychological well-being. With
todays rapid growth, dwindling resources and increasing pollution threats, concern for human and environmental health
are causing us to take a closer look at our building practices, starting with the building site. Whether selecting a site or
working with an existing site, and whether the site is urban, suburban or rural, there are many aspects that can be
examined with respect to how green, that is how healthy for people and the planet, the home on that site can potentially
be. The sites Location would be in ALABANG MUNTINLUPA along Corporate ave. and civic drive road.
