THESIS PROPOSAL OUTLINEAR511 Architectural Design 9Adopted from September 2014 Thesis Proposal Outline by MCPS

A. Cover Sheet (not included in the proposal pagination), with the following information: Research project title, sub-phrase; Proponent, Affiliation (course & year); Contact information (mobile phone number and email address), adviser, date submitted (see sample).

B. Proposal Proper

1. TITLE. The student must formulate an appropriate title related to the objectives of the project, upon a clear definition of the problem. The title must be concise and straight to the point. example: “A Disaster-Resilient Government Center for _______ ”

2. BACKGROUND. The proposal starts with background information on the project, a concise overview of the defining features of the thesis. Include a brief description of proposed project and site with an overview of the purpose and function of the project based from the client’s perspective and site context. The candidate must also prepare a brief history on how the project came about and must justify the need for the project. Essentially, statements justifying the need for the project should be supported by research such as demographic data, survey reports, council resolutions, comprehensive development plans and the like.

any controversies, problems, or need that led you to propose such a project/undertaking

o Why did you propose the project? o What are the need/s of the community/entity? o What problems/opportunities did you see that led you to this proposal?

Current development/s in the study of architecture in relation to your chosen proposed project

Cite a few, relevant literature and/or case studies DO NOT “copy and paste” information, rephrase when possible and

NEVER FORGET to cite your source/s

This is the part that is supposed to give the reader a clear idea of what your thesis is all about. Remember, clear idea. So you cannot just go discussing anything you come across without understanding how it relates to what you want to achieve in the end.Here are some of the points you have to cover to make sure that you are writing your Introduction properly. A proper Introduction will give the reader a strong strong vision of the direction you want your project to take.

1. Present the problems and concerns which brought you to choose to work on your proposal. You should do this without using the word “I” and without presenting your proposal just yet.

2. Inform your reader of the present scenario -- the unsatisfactory conditions and the problems that you feel need to be solved (and that YOU can actually solve ARCHITECTURALLY). These would include such aspects such as technical problems; absence/incompatibility of present site; need for proper planning; need for recognition of potentials; etc. Make sure, though, that you stick only to the relevant factors.

3. State the reason/s why it is necessary to conduct the study which will lead

to your solution. This is sometimes called the “RATIONALE” (which is also a tip: this is where you rationalize what you are doing. Why in the world must you do this!? Will it make the world a better place?)

4. Does your problem have a historical background? Most problems do. Trace it. Then present it clearly and coherently. But be careful about delving too much on the historical context. Once you've connected the historical events with present developments and the problem at hand, move on.

5. Ask yourself these questions: Do you have a clearer and deeper understanding of the conditions pertinent to your problem? Do you want to find a way to solve it? If there are already existing ways of solving it, are you interested in going the extra mile to come up with a better solution? If your answer to these questions is a resounding “YES!”, then tell your reader so (again: do not use “I” and do not actually address your reader). All you have to do here is convince your reader that your project is worth your effort and the reader’s attention.

6. Wrap up. Before you start with the next part, make sure that you have linked all the things you’ve discussed. Do not leave the reader wondering where on earth you got the idea of conducting this study. If you can come up with a clever parting statement here, then by all means, DO!

2.1. Site. Identify the site location specifically and clearly in relation to attached graphic materials like site and neigborhood photos (panoramic) and photo locator map (all in A3 format) to be placed in Appendix. Explain your choice of site as the idea basis of your thesis. Describe the physical character of the site and its immediate context [macro (within 2 kilometer radius) to micro]. Discuss important physical features of the site and the existing site and surrounding environmental conditions. Consider conservation principles when building on this site. Discuss the zoning constraints on the site: setbacks, floor area ratio limits, building height limits, other use limits, and significant constraints. Confirm that your proposal constitutes an appropriate use of the site in these terms. [condensed from the Boston Architecture College]

The Site Evaluation Checklist below can be used by the candidate as a guide in the discussion of his proposal (whichever is applicable)

E. Images1. Group and individual identification and organization of site2. Meanings attached to the site, symbolic expression3. Hopes, fears, wishes, preferences




2.2. Problem. Present an explicit statement of the architectural problem, as a single statement followed by a brief elaboration of it. The problem statement must be clear and concise in the candidate’s own words.

Answer the question “What is the problem that needs to be solved?” The answer to this question may be in a statement or question form

that will yield specific results Limit the areas or variables that will be addressed in your proposal Consider the SMART rule in formulating your problem statement:

Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Time based

A problem statement is a description of the critical conditions and design premises that become the starting point for schematic design [Peña, 2001]; hence, this can be done only after a thorough information gathering and analysis by the candidate. Come up with statements identifying and clarifying the necessity of the project within the context of the needs of the client, the users, the community, the region or the country, as the case may be [Groat, 2002]; or statements on the functional program of form, function, economy and time [Peña, 2001]; or identification of values and concerns that may have a profound effect on building form [Hershberger, 2000].

2.3. Objectives. Having identified the problem, state clearly what you want to accomplish in order to address, answer or illuminate the problem. What do you intend to do and how is this going to contribute towards the resolution of the problem? Develop specific project goals in congruence with programmatic and design concepts that were uncovered in literature review and will be tested in the design process. The objectives should be achievable and can be equated into architectural solutions.

Objectives are more SPECIFIC targets which eventually leads to the attainment of your architectural goal. You may want to group them by certain categories as determined by your goal, or arrange them according to importance. Objectives are statements that specify what is to be achieved toward the success of the project— what the client wants to accomplish and why [Peña, 2001]. These must be practical, based on facts and can be implemented through the design concepts. Specific goals may be obtained from the considerations of (Peña’s) function, form, economy and time or from (Hershberger’s) values in architectural programming. In this process, the objectives must be tested for integrity, usefulness and relevance to the architectural design problem.

2.4. Relevance. Briefly explain why the study is important and its significance to the client, the society in general and the researcher as well. (Explain who might be interested in the output of the project study and how this can be properly utilized by these interested groups. Include the limitations of uses, legal or ethical, of the project output.)

Who will benefit from your studies? How can this study be of any help in fostering a better architecture? These are few of the questions you have to take into consideration in writing the significance of your thesis. This may




deal with the social, economic or cultural aspects of the project. You can even combine or address all of the aspects if you like. Always keep in mind that you are an architect, not a psychologist, sociologist, physician nor a politician. And so you must always direct your discussions on the ARCHITECTURAL aspect of your work. Oftentimes, you are carried away by the description drawn from the client’s project proposals and thereby forgetting the architectural contributions you want your project to have. Example, if you are working on a Rehabilitation Center for Drug Dependents, you will not say that your thesis can actually heal these addicts. Instead, you can state your possible contributions, as an future architect, to meet this concern.

3. THESIS CONCEPT. This section outlines the issues, concepts and questions that are central to the thesis. The research undertaking must generate new ideas in designing particular building types that would make the design endeavor more innovative and creative [Thesis Context].

3.1. Conceptual Framework. Discuss the theories, architectural concepts, methodological approaches, and variables that are important in the study. The framework for the design of the project is initially based on the definition of the problem and followed by the identification of its critical elements. These critical elements may be presented through a conceptual diagram or illustration that will describe in non-verbal terms the thesis concept. Develop a research strategy (research design, research methods), specifically, a research and programming plan;

This will be the part where you will inform your readers if there is a theory you want to prove e.g. a limited area can affect the behavior of a drug dependent, or a concept you want to test say, a moving space is best suited for the healing mind. You might wonder what the difference between a theory and a concept is. According to Homans (1967), a THEORY has three basic components (1) conceptual scheme (2) set of proposition stating relationships between properties or variables and (3) context for verification. Your Architectural Theory of Design subjects clearly state this as a relation between two properties, in the given example, space and behavior. Theories have been subjected to further studies by various people and yet they are still something that can be verified. Your thesis can be a supportive study and a test if the theories presented are really true. A theory is something which already has a proponent. It means that a person before you had already proposed this theory and other people have been verifying this as well. Therefore, your framework should be based from a proponent and the consolidation of studies made as well to see the extent of verification done. CONCEPTS on the other hand are just ideas or concrete expression of terms (see chapter on concept). These may be based on your OWN ideas and NOT coming from another researcher or proponent. If your research topic will be working on this type of a framework, then you have to state so.

schematic diagram which shows the variables included in the study; arrows or line should be properly placed and connected between

boxes to show the relationship between the independent and dependent variables;

independent and dependent variables should be clearly discussed and explained as to how these would influence the results of the study.

3.2. Literature Review. Identify the key theories, major issues and debates about the thesis topic. This section should not just enumerate and describe the studies done, but, rather, critically engage them. Assess both their significant contributions and limitations for the proposed study. Observe the state of the literature in terms of how it can be used or expanded in the proposed project.

Literature review is a body of information existing in a wide variety of stored format that has conceptual relevance for a particular topic of inquiry [Groat, 2002]. This is essential in the beginning of the process and it will present useful and lasting information to the project development. The candidate must be able to identify key sources (books, magazines, websites, existing facilities, etc…) of information related to the proposed project. Explain the relevance of these sources to your research and how they influenced your ideas.

When you have already established your scope, you probably would have also known the coverage of your thesis. Hence, you are ready to define varied literature related to your study. These are summarized versions of articles, researches, write-ups and other thesis works which are somehow related to your topic(s). The key here is simple. The more you read, the better! And therefore the easier for you to visualize and understand the needs of your work. This would also help you know where will you take-off. Having known what were already written and published, you will then have the idea where would you start your study. Will it just be a continuation of an existing project? Will you just be pushing a new theory related to those previously stated? Or is it a totally new project with totally new concepts related to the existing ones? To help you further understand, here are some guidelines on citing related literature.

be very critical when choosing your literature and studies make sure that they have been made/conducted by people who are experts in their fields Critically choose information you access from the internet. It would be helpful if you take note of the web address or page of the material you plan to use; web addresses with a .edu means it comes from an educational institution BUT NOT ALL literature with .edu addresses are always reliable – be critical, make sure that the author is a professor or someone who specializes in the field of study you are pursuing; Look for journals or journal databases – some scholarly articles can be accessed free or with no charge; Reports from government and private institutions or entities may also provide reliable data Consider information from books or published materials – these would be a more reliable source of information. Make sure to always cite your sources properly – refer to whatever citation format your department is using. Never ‘cut and paste’ a whole page unless needed BUT make sure to use the proper citation and format in such cases. Look for literature and studies that support and contradict your proposal both will be useful in your presentation, analysis and interpretation.

4. METHODS. Describe how you intend to conduct the study, including the activities and procedures to be undertaken to attain objectives, the methods that will be used, how you intend to analyze data and evaluate project outcomes.

macp/August, 2015



4.1. Methods of Inquiry. Develop a research strategy (research design, research methods), specifically, a research and programming plan. Enumerate and explain, step-by-step, the specific design and research methods that were or will be used to explore concepts and design approaches. Relate the discussion on information gathering techniques back to the thesis concept and conceptual framework.

This section includes the assessment and presentation of the Client’s needs; generalized design standards from architecture references (i.e. Time Savers’ Standards, Architectural Graphics Standards, NBC); and specific “agency” design guidelines as applicable to the project (i.e. DepEd, DOT, SBMA). The student must formulate a set of design guidelines that must conform to the objectives of the project.

4.2. Case Study Analysis.

This chapter is actually an extension of your Research Data. The difference is that with Case Studies, you are analyzing existing related structures, groups, localities and situations and you might be getting information that may not be available in textbooks or previous studies. This is especially true for local cases that may have some connection with your project. Focus, however, should be on the variable that may be difficult to determine without actual reconnaissance. Do not forget that you are the one who has the best understanding of your project and what information you need from the case studies. That simply means that it is also YOU who can conduct the studies most effectively. If you need information regarding structures or scenarios abroad (especially if you want to determine the applicability of certain theories and principles to the Philippines), you can use secondary data. It is best, in this case, to come up with at least one local study (besides the foreign one) so that it would be easier to determine the applicability and feasibility of foreign concepts in local settings

Reference: Architecture Thesis Manual by: EMCVillanueva.GRLajom

Present 2 (two) case study examples (preferably 1 local, 1 foreign) with one scheme fully investigated through graphic documentation of the analytical drawings and constructions. Narrate the findings, relating them to your thesis concept. Discuss the method of inquiry employed and relate the inquiry methods of your thesis. Explain clearly why you selected each case study sample. [Boston Architectural College, 2011]

Each case study can be presented by first explaining how they are related to your project. You can discuss the situation by dividing it into sub components and presenting their respective merits. If you think that sketches, maps, graphs and photographs would help you explain them better, then use them to support your data. Just remember to provide proper captions or else, they may be useless. Lastly, you have to make sure that all the specific concerns are discussed properly, and their relevance to the project stated clearly. It is also advisable that you choose cases that are related to your thesis in distinctly varied ways. One case study may be concerned with a project similar to your proposal and another which employs a technology which is comparable to what you are proposing. You might also be able to draw more reliable conclusions by studying both local and foreign cases.





5. EXPECTED RESULTS

5.1. Design Guidelines These are statements or a set of design criteria expressing the basic philosophy and principles which will provide the necessary guidelines in the design of the project [Groat, 2000] and evaluation of the architectural solution.

5.2. Program Requirements. Identify the proposed use or uses for the project that may be accommodated outdoors within the site and within the building. Discuss appropriateness of use(s) in terms of history and the adjacent or nearby context (cultural, economic, historical, political, social and environmental). Explain how the intended use or uses relate to your thesis concept. Research and articulate development controls to which the building must conform. Discuss the restrictive provisions that come from building codes, ordinances and deeds of restrictions on accommodating the proposed use(s).

List all users of the building by group and explain how they will use the building, then identify general areas of use by percentage, i.e., 25% retail, 25% office, 50% residential, for a mixed-use building.

Present a complete schedule of spaces, including quantities (how many, capacity) and sizes (length, width, square meter). The basis for the derivation of facility requirements for the project should be stated and explained clearly. Illustrate with drawings the relationships between major program elements such as relative size, adjacency requirements, volumetric relationships, etc.

5.3. Technologies. Discuss issues that you anticipate will emerge in your thesis relating to the integration of building systems in your design. Discuss how you anticipate technological issues (structural and environmental control systems technologies) might be relevant to your thesis. How might specific technologies be a vehicle for the development of the issues, concepts, and questions that are central to your thesis? Discuss methods and means of inquiry relevant to exploration of these technologies:

5.3.1. Architectural5.3.2. Structural5.3.3. Utilities

6. CONCLUSION. These are brief generalizations which are derived from the findings. It may be stated as generalizations from a micro to a macro level of vice versa. It can be inferences which can be discerned from the results of the study. It should also include the Design Philosophy of the researcher: what they are trying to accomplish with design, and, more importantly, what one thinks design should accomplish.

These are the bases of your ideas for the proposal, a guiding dictum which gels your proposed work into one, single composition. There are two types of philosophy. One, coming from a person, living or not, who may have studied the same topics you’re dealing with and defined ideas appropriate for your study. Thus, you have to quote them and tell your readers so. And two, it may be YOUR OWN notions for the project. Yes, you can be a philosopher, why not? And so, you are able to conceive your own thoughts especially if you were the one who proposed the study. CAUTION: You may be tempted to use philosophies you already have used for your design plates when you were in you lower years. Why




not? But see to it that it would be applicable for your project you’re doing. Philosophies are NOT FIXED. On the contrary, they should be FLEXIBLE. Meaning, they must bend to where they should go and reflect the design you would like to have for your project.
