College of Architecture
2nd Semester AY 2022-2023
I. BACKGROUND
Architectural Design 10 is the application of the total design process on
architectural design development which refers to spatial translation, form/concept
translation, functional concept, economic concept translation, and environmental
systems applications. At the end of the course, the architecture students are expected
to:
2
B. Drawing Presentations
1. Manner of Presentation
a. Multimedia Presentation (Oral) - It is required that a student use
multimedia presentation in the oral presentation of his thesis. He must
see to it that all equipment and software for use in his presentation are
set up and operational before he is to present his thesis.
b. Board Presentation
b.1 Manual – use 30”x40” (A0) white paper.
b.2 CAD Presentation - For students who chose to have their final
presentation in CAD should submit the complete schematic drawings
(study sketches) from design conceptualization to perspective (3D)
showing architectural character on or before the Prelim Exam Week.
Students who do not comply will automatically present their drawing
solutions in manual drafting/rendering. All drawings should be
presented on 30" x 40" (A0) white paper (mounted on a black illustration
board, covered with clear plastic).
2. Medium of Presentation
a. Drawings may be presented in any medium or mixed mode. Floor plans
may be presented in black and white to show all pertinent requirements
in the floor plan elements (doors, windows, walls, furniture layout,
structural elements, etc.) Should the student choose to present floor
plans in color, the presentation should not distract the viewer's eyes.
V. DRAWING OF LOTS
The candidates, having been approved for final endorsement, shall draw lots
before the scheduled day of deliberation to determine the time and room/venue of his
presentation and defense.
3
VI. DELIBERATION
3. If the candidate fails to appear, but with a valid reason (Physically ill or
family emergency) and notification, he must send through a representative
all his completed thesis work (boards and book). These materials will be
endorsed to the Dean for possible rescheduling of deliberation.
B. Guidelines
1. Attire - The candidate should be in proper business attire during the thesis
deliberation. It is strongly recommended that male candidates wear black
pants and a jacket, with light colored polo, dark tie, and black shoes; female
candidates are to wear a black medium-length skirt and blazer, matching
light-colored blouse, and with hair neatly pony-tailed. Stockings are
optional.
b.2 Hardbound copy of the Thesis Book, two (2) copies, which contains all
the outputs and the following:
Approved (Signed) Letter of Proposal
Chapter(s) 1 to 8.
Note: The Thesis Book (which is the output of Architectural Design 9) should be
used as the basis for design development in Architectural Design 10. The
jury may refer to and review the Thesis Book during the deliberations to
check proper applications to the design solutions. Any conflicting
information between the Thesis Book and the Final Solutions of the project
as reflected on the Final Thesis Boards may cause the candidate to fail in
the defense of his Thesis.
4
3. Recording of Proceedings
The candidate may record the proceedings using audio/video equipment.
4. Time
Each candidate is given forty (40) minutes to present and defend his
Thesis:
20 minutes - oral and visual presentation
20 minutes - defense/question and answer
The jury is given ten (10) minutes to deliberate on the Final Jury Grade.
5. Policies
a. The deliberation is open to the public. Students, relatives, and guests
may be invited to attend and witness the proceedings.
b. The candidate must maintain his composure during the deliberation even
when
confronted with difficult questions or when challenged by the members
of the jury on details of the project. He should not have an antagonistic
attitude before, during, and after the deliberation.
c. The candidate must not be questioned on the financial viability of the
project. However, he may be asked questions on the socioeconomic
and environmental impact that the project may bear on its development,
to the immediate community/vicinity, or on the wider context (provincial,
regional, or even national level).
d. The jury may review the Thesis Book for completeness.
e. The jury may ask questions that it deems relevant to the Thesis Project.
The candidate is responsible for the correctness of his answers within
the scope of the project.
f. During the grade deliberation of the jury, the thesis candidate, along with
all the members of the audience, must leave the room to allow the jury to
determine the Final Jury Grade in private.
5
Each Juror shall award individual numerical grades in all categories. The
grading scale is from 60 to 100 with 75 as the passing mark. 'The average of the
three (3) Juror Grades will be the Final Jury Grade.
7. Final Grade
a. The candidate's Final Grade shall be the combination of forty percent
(40%) of the Final Jury Grade and sixty percent (60%) of the Thesis
Advisor's Final Grade.
b. A candidate who gets a Juror Grade of 65% and below from any juror
will automatically get a Final Grade of "three" or seventy-five%
(PASSED).
c. A candidate who gets a Juror Grade of 65% and below from two jurors
will automatically get a Final Grade of "five" or FAILED.
8. Thesis Awards
The combined grades of the jury and advisor will be computed and
tabulated. The final grades of the thesis presenters will be ranked; Rank 1

the best thesis. They should not receive a mark of 84 and below from
any of his Jury.
b. Thesis of the Year – Rank 1 of the 10 Best Thesis awardees will be
awarded as the Thesis of the Year.
c. Architects’ Choice – the 10 Best Thesis will be displayed in the activity
area. Each juror will select/vote for the best thesis for them. The thesis
proposal that will get the highest number of votes will be awarded as
the Jury’s Choice.
6
for him to miss his scheduled deliberation. A doctor's or hospital's certification
will validate his reason if it is medical in nature
.
C. Questions and Inquiries
1. The candidate should maintain constant coordination and regular
consultation with his Thesis Advisor.
2. Candidates who did not qualify for the final endorsement shall receive a
FAILED mark, and can only enroll in Architectural Design 10 in the first
semester of the following school year.
3. Candidates who was endorsed but did not appear in the deliberation shall
be given a ''DROPPED" mark and shall be eligible for enrollment in
Architectural design 10 summer term.
