HOUSING THESIS NEO-VERNACULAR HOUSING MODEL. The sustainability of low-income housing has come to the increase of urbanization because of the linkages between population expansion, climate change, and dwelling energy efficiency. Technological inefficiencies and inappropriate design elements characterize the quality of the current low-income housing. The application of Neo Vernacular can display the traditional impression of Philippine Architecture combined with the value of modern architecture to create a design that contains cultural traditions and innovation to find low-cost ways to increase thermal comfort in tropical areas using passive design strategies, energy-efficient building materials, and adaptive construction techniques.

3. • The sustainability of low-income housing has come to the increase of
urbanization because of the linkages between population expansion,
climate change, and dwelling energy efficiency.
• Technological inefficiencies and inappropriate design elements
characterize the quality of the current low-income housing.
• The application of Neo Vernacular can display the traditional impression
of Philippine Architecture combined with the value of modern
architecture to create a design that contains cultural traditions and
innovation to find low-cost ways to increase thermal comfort in tropical
areas using passive design strategies, energy-efficient building
materials, and adaptive construction techniques.
Background of the Study

4. • Consequently, a gap between sustainability and the building design
community does exist, especially for residential buildings.
• To fill this gap between sustainability and the building design community,
this study aims to create architectural options for environmentally
friendly houses in the Philippines, a nation with hot and humid weather
all year round.
• In order to deliver appropriately sustainable housing and lower energy
consumption, it is essential to provide a construction that can adapt to
the current climatic conditions.
Background of the Study

5. Statement of the Problem
• The Philippines' rural regions exhibit great diversity due to the wide range of
temperatures, altitudes, cultures, resources, and technical expertise; the crafts
use resourceful and inventive solutions and materials from the local
environment. Different local building cultures have their own social and cultural
values. In addition to the space issue, the resident's health and well-being are
the main concerns, and the structures do not satisfy modern requirements.
• The Philippine government failed to provide permanent shelters to some of the
most affected towns. The purchase of available land and the high cost of
materials and labor have all contributed to the delay in constructing these
shelters. There is an immediate demand for permanent shelters that are both
sustainable and cheap for the victims of typhoon Ulysses.

6. Research Questions
• How will the space be developed to ensure proper planning and
organization?
• How will the design concept be integrated into the post-disaster shelter's
development?
• How will the development improve the current housing condition in the
Philippines

7. Objectives & Strategies
To plan and design a post-disaster bungalow unit integrating
sustainability, ensuring aesthetics and function, and catering to
the needs of its end-users while addressing space challenges.
• ECOLOGICAL; To design according to the urban planning
laws and considerations.
• ECONOMICAL; Organize spaces according to type and
function.
• SOCIAL; Analysis of possible needs of the
evacuees/community.

8. Objectives & Strategies
To apply a neo-vernacular approach to introduce a sustainable
design methodology that will create stable and organized spaces
that will benefit the community by assessing the elements'
sensitivity
• Use cost-efficiency and low-maintenance materials. (Cement,
concrete, bricks)
• Integration of passive design through space organization.
• Create a distinct Filipino housing community.

9. Objectives & Strategies
To promote new strategies that set a benchmark for the new
demands in socialized housing that creates a healthy and strong
sense of community.
• Incorporate social sustainability for the holistic safety and
security of the residents.
• To integrate central community facilities and rentable retail
spaces for the convenience of the community.
• To introduce open green spaces for multiple uses in the
community.

10. Conceptual Framework
The figure shows the conceptual framework based on the project's identified objectives and
factors.
