PERIGRINO NEW NAGA TERMINAL AIRPORT Pili, Camarines Sur, Philippines

“Perigrino” is a term used in Portugal to describe a person who makes a journey or travel to a holy place.

Since Naga is considered as the “queen city of Bicol”, the designer came up with the idea of incorporating the form or specifically a detail of a queen’s crown in the design which happens to be also worn by our lady of Peñafrancia, whose image is one of the most popular objects of devotion in Naga, Camarines sur. This concept will portray a piece of the culture and tradition of Nagaueños on being religious and church-oriented people.

Site Analysis

Existing condition Although the Airportt is located in Pili, Camarines sur, Naga airport mainly serves the metropolitan Naga. map

This airport is located approximately 14 km (8.9 miles) from downtown Naga. it takes approximately 24 minutes from downtown Naga to get to this airport with light traffic.

Inside the perimeter of the proposed site, there are paved area (blue) and existing trees (green).

These data are gathered by the designer which helps him to come up with an effective design approach to the given design problem.

The benefits of using precast concrete include quality assurance, increased time efficiency, enhanced construction safety, durability, reduced wastage, and neat working areas due to reduced clutter. Precast concrete is also resistant to fire and flooding and can be easily deconstructed.

Spider fitting frameless glass curtain walls, connect glass together in an open space to form flexible and unobstructed glass façade. Fully spider fitted glass walls not only maintain the safety of aluminum glass curtain wall but also eliminate the disadvantages of the later in singular structure and restrictions from construction structures.

It can enhance the human ability for physical, psychological, and social regeneration and reversal, which is very beneficial for the intended users of this project.

HEALTHY LIGHTING

To reduce the demand for artificial light, built environments should make use of natural light and the way it changes throughout the day.

HEALTHY INDOOR AIR By reducing emissions or increasing ventilation efficiency, it may enhance the quality of the air within a building.

THE FORM & CLARITY OF AN ENVIRONMENT

An environment that is lively will promotes wellness, but the space also needs to be clear and simple to understand in order to be healthy

TAKING THE SENSES INTO ACCOUNT

NATURE CONNECTEDNESS

Materials, colors, forms, lights, sounds, and fragrances are used to create a multi-sensory experience. Natural materials do not just pleasure our perception of touch, but also our senses of sight and scent

No matter what the view looks like, the patients may stay connected to the outside world by being able to stare out the windows. Windows link the inside to the outside and let the outside scenery serve as ornamentation.

One of my hobby is to practice my rendering skills. I use sketchup for 3d modeling and enscape for rendering. Most of my renders depicts my favorite style which is japandi style. The calmness, the simplicity, and the comfort this style give is the reason why I really like to incorporate it into my renderings.
