A well designed space that engages a community affected by disaster will ultimately impact the behavior and rehabilitation of those who reside there. This thesis will be contained within a small footprint, creating shelter for those who have been affected by any of the numerous disasters that occur in the Philippines. These spaces are designed to provide comfort and security for Individuals and families affected by the devastating winds and water related to typhoons while following Cradle to Cradle and Passive Design guidelines to limit resource waste and negative environmental effects.
Filipino culture is very much a blend of global influences acquired over the years. These areas of influence include Chinese traders, American rulers, and Spanish conquistadors.1
The Philippines and Eastern Visayas are prone to abundant natural disasters.3 The cluster of 7,000 islands is hit by frequent seismic activity and around 20 typhoons a year.3 For these reasons the country continually faces large scale displacement.
For site selection, overall scope within Eastern Visayas was narrowed to the municipality of Jaro. The site was chosen because it is landlocked, making it a safe distance away from large bodies of water during a flood. Cities along the coast are most prone to displacement and flooding given their location and population density. The Capital City of Tacloban is 12.6 miles from the site, making travel distance and relocation to shelters not too long or far.
This is evident in Filipino culture today with many similarities to Spanish ways of life. For example, both Filipino and Spanish cultures highly value family. Maintaining a family unit is crucial to withstanding the economic downtimes many families face. For that reason families are often a lot larger and typically extending from grandparents to children, referred to as multigenerational living.1 Families even tend to live in or around the same area to ensure members of the family are never too far away. The average household size is roughly 4 people.2

Eastern Visayas, highlighted on the map, is frequented by typhoons and is one of the regions most prone to disaster. The region is still recovering from Typhoon Haiyan, also known as Super Typhoon Yolanda, which hit November 8th, 2013, and brought high winds, torrential rain and storm surge, ultimately impacting up to 16 million people.3
Historically, Jaro was believed to be a place where people would go to be healed by the medicinal properties of its water.4 Much of the land became seen as a grounds for healing and recovery. These beliefs are still retained within the municipality today and will be carried through development of the site.

RECONSTRUCTION
The length of the day in Jaro does not vary substantially over the course of the year, staying within 47 minutes of a 12 hour days. In 2019, the shortest day was December 22, with 11 hours and 28 minutes of daylight while the longest day was June 21, with 12 hours and 48 minutes of daylight.5 The sun is almost directly overhead around midday given how close the island is to the equator, making harsh direct sunlight a constant threat.
Jaro, “experiences extreme seasonal variation in monthly rainfall. Rain falls throughout the year in Leyte. The most rain falls during the 31 days centered around December 16, with an average total accumulation of 8.7 inches. The least rain falls around April 16, with an average total accumulation of 2.5 inches. A wet day is one with at least 0.04 inches of liquid or liquidequivalent precipitation.” 5
People and families who occupy shelters are not there on their own accord. Rather they have experienced trauma and must now readjust their lives in order to survive. My design concept is to encourage a reconstruction of social connections, economic accessibility, and the home in order to hasten recovery time within a shelter. Additionally, after having lived in the shelter community, people and families will leave with the resources to reconstruct their local communities for the better.
“The wet season lasts 7.8 months, from June 15 to February 9, with a greater than 45% chance of a given day being a wet day. The drier season lasts 4.2 months, from February 9 to June 15. The most common form of precipitation throughout the year is rain alone, with a peak probability of 62% on November 11.” 5
The shelter is inspired by vernacular Filipino houses (Nipa Huts), designed to deal with heat, humidity, and floods while mainting a small footprint. These materials and design implemetations help promote passive construction as well as making an enviornmentally concious build. A pitched roof allows for release of warm air as it rises. Openings allow for cooling cross breezes and ventilation for indoor air quality. An elevated base provides protection against flooding and locally sourced materials abide by C2C Standards.

RECREATION
Provides places of respite for individuals and families.
Spreads knowledge amongst individuals and builds communities.
The site is a plot of land about a mile away from the Caayugan river, the main water supply to this area. Other natural resources include the forested areas surrounding the site for wood products. The abundance of tree cover also has the added benefits of shading homes, recreational areas, and providing wind cover.

FIELDS
The site is proposing to house 77 shelters which can hold up to 385 people per individual bed. The site would also provide solar panels to power chargeable lighting and other electrical needs. There will be land for gardening and crops as well as a section for storage and production of shelter components. For access to the site, there are two small roads. The main road is the Jaro- Alangalang, which runs through a neighboring town. The second road is unnamed and runs through land stopping at the river’s edge.

PROCESS + PASSIVE DESIGN PRELIMINARY IDEATION OF OVERALL FORM AND STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS.
Process starts with rectilinear plan of nippa hut formed volumetrically.
PASSIVE DESIGN
ROOF STRUCTURE Legs unfold from roof to stand upright with a slight pitch. Orientation of shelter on its site takes advantage of natural daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting elements throughout the day .
Rectangular form is turned so roof structure is created.
Edges are tucked under the roof for shading.
BASE Compact floor folds out to hold up walls. Serves as base for all living spaces.
Shading of the house and outdoor spaces reduces summer temperatures, improves comfort and saves energy.
Roof is enforsed for better shading.
Form is elevated to prevent flooding.
Passive cooling techniques cool both the house and the people in it through air movement. Floor component is carried under upright roof then opened and locked into place at a 3’ elevation from grade.
Final form in 3D with openings along ceiling for cooling breezes. Solar powered facilities are incredibly useful given the amount of sun exposure in the Philippines. These panels supply the necessary electrical needs by powering an on site generator.

PARTS + CRADLE TO CRADLE
ROOF Pre-fab for expedient shelter construction with a water proof, wax finish.
TIMBER FRAMING + LEGS Legs are joined to large timber frame. They are locked in place when packaged and are unlocked to fold out.
The initial structure as a whole provides the first level of enclosure. The secondary elements (walls doors, windows, furniture, etc.) are constructed once roof and base ore assembled. This makes it so that during a disaster there is little wait time and at the very least a floor and roof are provided quickly.
BASE After shelter is done with use, it is left assembled for the next group of people to inhabit. Once the shelter begins to wear, specific components are able to be taken away in order to limit waste and increase the structure’s longevity. The pieces that are discarded can then be recycled into insulation for the next shelter.

The perforation design draws inspiration from the cube and rectilnear geometries of a venacular Nipa Hut floor plan. This floor plan is typically 320 to 550 square feet and can have different variations of structural set up. Generally though they all consist of a central space or room around which a house might be arranged. This enclosed space is called the Celda; used only for the most intimate functions (e.g. washing, changing clothing) and for securing valuables. In addition, these cutouts promote a passive design stategy of ventilation, allowing for air flow throughout the space.
