Miniature of Traditional House Located at Vigan City

Abstract

Old colonial houses are traditionally built as two-story structures from brick and wood, with a sleepily pitched roof reminiscent of traditional Chinese architecture. The exterior walls of the upper story are enclosed with window panels of capiz shell frames in wood which can be slid back for better ventilation. The research method of design utilized in this study is quantitative analysis. The participants of the study are 16 STEM TEACHERS and 6 STRAND HEADS of Bestlink College of the Philippines selected to test the significant difference in the level of construction material, procedural methodology, floor plan, and presentation. The prominent findings of the study in terms of the variables mentioned above are acceptable from the assessments of the 2 groups of respondents. As suggested, the project should be more streamlined to increase the use of the lighting and to apply the varnish properly to ensure the proper use of the project. The assessment of the two groups of respondents has no difference in the level of acceptability of the miniature. The result can be forwarded to improve the project such as the need for accuracy of scale and measurements to improve the miniature; to consult Engineers and Architects in enhancing skills in doing miniature, and to find materials or details to maximize the space of miniature.
