This document outlines a design project for a waiting shed to be located at six bus stops on the proposed new 20-hectare campus of Mapua University in Cavite. The waiting shed must accommodate at least 12 people, serve the campus community 24/7, and reflect the vision and character of Mapua University as an iconic architectural symbol. Students must analyze the problem, develop design criteria and concepts, and produce final drawings and a presentation that will be evaluated based on criteria such as problem analysis, aesthetics, functionality, character, and presentation technique.

EE-100 A Waiting Shed
Objectives Special Attention should be observed based on the following considerations:
Concept of “design” Definition of architecture Application of architectural design Graphic and visual techniques Creativity in defining aesthetics and functional character Introduction Due to the fact that an umbrella is not enough to protect us from the discomfort of standing underneath the glare of the sun while commuting can be a challenge for anyone having to brave the scorching heat or bad weather, the function of waiting sheds become popular. Waiting sheds are roofed-in structure built principally for the comfort of waiting passengers or commuters. Various waiting sheds have been built alongside roads for bus stops or waiting line for passengers in different terminals. Even villages have their own waiting shed erected outside the gates. In other countries, and even in our own experience, waiting sheds are cramped not just with passengers or commuters but with vendors selling various goods. Waiting sheds are also venues for advertisement. Entrepreneurs use different strategies for posting and endorsing their own products here. Even politicians have unique ways of promoting themselves during campaign periods with the presence of waiting sheds. Problem Statement The expansion programs of Mapua University, both in the academic degree offerings and campus development, are in line with the vision of the management to provide quality education and functional facilities/ amenities. A proposed 20-hectare new campus development of Mapua University is envisioned to be a sustainable community in the heart of the historic province of Cavite. This campus expansion is a complex development comprising of state-of-the art academic buildings, student and staff housing, IT hub, green plazas and solar-powered bus transit system. Aside from architecture and engineering, new course offerings are also set in place, such as aeronautics, medicine, dentistry and zoology. The solar-powered bus transit system, as the basic transportation mode within the campus, requires WAITING SHEDS at strategic bus stops. The following are the MINIMUM design criteria: - the “character” must reflect the Vision of Mapua University, as being one of the best universities of the world - the structure must be iconic, reflecting the final product of “architecture” - aside from aesthetics, the “design” must be functional enough to cater the various “uses” of a waiting shed - the waiting shed must accommodate at least 12 persons at a time - the waiting shed must serve the campus community 24/7 Problem Context The proposed waiting shed will be located in 6 main bus stops inside the 20- hectare Mapua University campus in Cavite. An open space dedicated for a waiting shed is strategically included in the bus drop-off points. A 1.50- meter-wide sidewalk is adjacent to the proposed site of the waiting shed. The sizing of the waiting shed will depend on the analysis of the student- designer in relation to the function, activities, amenities, users, among others AR141-1P_Architectural Design 1 2nd Quarter AY 2023-2024 School of AR-ID-BE Mapua University
