What does NIPA stands for?

The basic services provided by the Architect have drastically changed over the years, with no need to expand his/her services despite the increasing demands of Clients, the evolution of new standards of regulated professional practice, the advancement of technology, or the enactment of new laws.

This entails the formulation of site criteria, assistance to the Client in site evaluation as well as analysis to determine the most appropriate site/s for a proposed project or building program.

involves the identification of a site's development potentials through the proper utilization of land. The analysis covers the context of the site as well as that of its surrounding environment and the development controls that apply to the site and its environs.

 This analytical problem-seeking process will lead to the statement and identification of both horizontal and vertical requirements in offering a solution. It incorporates a space program with characterizations of the envisioned spaces such as ambiance, cost range, etc

is done mainly through primary data gathering such as interviews, consultations, interfaces, focus group discussions (FGDs), space planning surveys, space audits, etc.

An analysis of the space requirements of the project based on organizational structure and functional set-up pinpoints linkages and interaction of spaces.

This technique is applied in the cost management process to minimize the negative effect of simplified operations associated with many cost-reduction programs.

The goal of vale management is to achieve and unimpaired program at _________ cost. Thus, a plan, design or system that has been successfully value-managed will still satisfy the same performance criteria as the costlier alternatives

preparation of drawings from approved Design Development Documents

– involving detailed planning and design to control sound transmission considering the architectural concept and project requirements

Continuous use of imagination both in problem solving, and artistic expression; with drawing, painting, sculpture…and practical study of the sister arts, adding to the richness of their solutions

Modeling design and building technologies after natures own laws of order, and striving for unique solutions that wed together the highest ideals of beauty and practical utility
