ABSTRACT
This thesis show how the designers helped in molding the lives of the community. It also demonstrates howArchitecture students embody the knowledge and skills acquired in school and how it is applied to improve community'swelfare.
The Philippines is a third world country, and one of the main social issues is poverty. Numerous Filipinos lived in astate of being poor or not having enough money to take care of their basic needs. Because of this problem, affordablehousing programs for low-income families must exist to help these less fortunate people. But the current trend proved thataffordable housing program is not enough to accommodate all Filipinos living in poverty. And the existence of differentprograms and organizations for low-income housing are not enough to benefit all Filipinos that are in need because of theworsening poverty, increasing urbanization, limited funds, housing maintenance costs etc.
Because of these growing concerns, Architecture students embarked on thisnoble endeavor to help alleviate orminimize these social and economic problems, thus the Estudio Damgo was conceptualized. This is an outreach programto help benefit communities. By establishing partnerships with Dumaguete City government, a feasible multipurpose building integrating the use of indigenous and local materials and volunteer labor was materialized. It is feasible to build afunctional design addressing the beneficiary's need, wants and vision for the community.
Student architects shared their knowledge to a community and in return, they gained a hands-on design andconstruction experience. This exposure to real life project merges academic with professional practice to benefit a chosen community.
