| Date Issued | May 2025 |
| Abstract | Competitive gaming has transitioned from traditional and physical sports into digital competitive gaming through the emergence of esports. Despite the rapidly increasing popularity of esports, there are only a few facilities dedicated to the Filipino esports ecosystem and most of which are inaccessible to most Filipino gamers. This design project aims to develop the first esports facility that will serve as the homebase for the Philippine National Team for Esports: Sibol, and to be able to accommodate the various aspects that comprise the whole esports ecosystem of the Philippines. Criticisms towards esports regarding its stereotypes and lack of physical activity are addressed by this project through discussions with gamers and non-gamers who have professional backgrounds in the academe and physical fitness. Solutions to these issues are the following: providing training and development facilities for Sibol, and maximizing the non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) of its users through the facility's configuration of spaces along with the utilization of virtual reality as a means to encourage physical activity. Through this facility, the Filipino esports industry will be able to gain more visibility thus leading to the acceptance of esports by the general public and making it a viable career option for the Filipino youth. |
