| Abstract | The objective of this thesis is to review the current state of the transportation sector in the Philippines and to propose a possible solution to the dilemma it faces. The Cubao area (Barangay San Martin de Porres, District IV) of Quezon City is the chosen site by this document because the vicinity already houses important structures for a successful TOD (Transit Oriented Development) such as but not limited to the following : existing railway systems (LRT-2 and MRT-3) along 2 major highways ; socio-cultural, recreational, institutional structures in the vicinity ; naturally high pedestrian influx ; a developing business district ; and the pre-existing image of transportation hub of Metro Manila for commuters. By analyzing the present conditions of the site and data gathered from government and private institutions, an Intermodal Transport Terminal is conceptualized for this document. This document will provide a design for the Phase 1 of the Intermodal Terminal with the support of additional 'growth' models for the future phases of construction. Phase 1 will be comprised of main areas such as the Northbound and Southbound terminals for buses ; its concourse ; administrative spaces ; footbridges to adjacent buildings ; and commercial spaces which will constitute the majority of the building mass. An architectural design of a monorail station is also provided with linkages to the site via footbridges and is located at the adjacent lot (which is set to be traversing along the C-5 highway). By these interventions, this document hopes to provide a possible design prototype that could spur growth and more TODs which in turn could reorganize the transportation system in the country. |
