Resource Title FLOW: Architectural design interventions using passive systems in a transport terminal in Marikina City
Date Issued May 2026
Abstract The continuous trend of global warming combined with the environmental consequences of urban development practices over the last century has created increasingly hot cities, which weighs heavily on commuters. Thermal comfort of users of transitional spaces like transport terminals is complicated by a wide interplay of environmental and psychological factors. The study aimed to deploy architectural design interventions using passive systems to promote the thermal comfort of Filipino commuters in a transport terminal in Marikina City. Existing transport terminals were physically assessed for architectural observations and analyses, and design strategies were identified through a literature review. A terminal design was developed based on the results. Promoting thermal comfort in public spaces affordably is significant for the health and economy of urban populations, especially in developing tropical countries.
