An Hour Break For An Architecture Student in Manila
By: Schyler Heleinamae F. Jariel
Many big schools/universities like UP Manila, Pamantasan ng Lunsod ng Maynila, and

our school the Mapua Institute of Technology and other universities are mostly situated in
Manila. Some of the students who study in these big schools and universities come from
different places and even come from nearby provinces of the Philippines. These students
know little about the surroundings of their school or have never visited significant places
in Manila. If you are one of these students, then it's time for you to take a short journey
around Manila. But worry not because an hour break at school is an opportunity for you
to travel and learn at the same time.
Here is a guide to help you bring out the architecture geek in you. Here are possible
things you can do for one hour: First destination - Intramuros! This is a walled city built
by the Spaniards upon their occupation of Manila. This place is just a walking distance
from our school or you can just take an E-tricycle that goes around Intramuros. There are
best spots in Intramuros like San Agustin Church, the Manila Cathedral, and Casa Manila
Museum. The facade of San Agustin Church is a baroque construction and the interior
features intricate trompe loeil frescoes on the vaulted ceiling. Adjacent to San Agustin
Church is the Casa Manila Museum which resembles a "Bahay na Bato", while the
Manila Cathedral features a Neo-Romanesque style. And if you have more than an hour
break you can visit Fort Santiago, where you can see Rizal Shrine Museum, the building
where Dr. Jose Rizal was detained while waiting for his execution in 1896. An entrance
fee of P50 for students is your only budget.
My second suggestion for your short journey is The National Museum located in Padre
Burgos Avenue, Rizal Park, Ermita, Manila. It is just a few minutes walk from LRT 1United Nation Station. There is no entrance fee to this museum. It is a very interesting
place to visit especially for architecture students because of the artworks from the 18th
century up to the 21st-century pieces. Before you go inside the museum, notice the
building's symmetrical shape and corinthian columns which are inspired by neoclassical
architecture. But, as an architecture student who always stays awake late at night, you can
take an hour nap in any of the vacant rooms or just go to the library and do your
unfinished projects because one hour or so is just a short waiting period for your next
subject.

How to make bento using architectural programming

Bento is a box-shaped container which consists of rice, meat or fish and cooked
vegetables. But what made this packed meal so special is the unique designs you can
create with the food. The first time I held a bento, it suddenly stimulated or increased my
appetite, maybe because of the arrangement and proportion of food in each part of the
box. I think it was intended that way to look appealing to the eyes and the stomach. And
that is what we are trying to achieve in making our own bento, great aesthetic and
integrated design.
First step is to prepare the materials that you will be needing like some sort of container
or lunch box to put your food in, silicon baking cups and dividers to keep wet things
away from dry things, colorful picks and small sauce containers. Also, prepare the food
that will fill in your container. Second step is to divide the types of food or know the
required spaces. In relation with architectural programming, architects consider the
required spaces that will fill the house such as dining area, kitchen, bedroom and etc. Just
the same as in making bento, the required spaces are the carbohydrates area, proteins,
veggies and fruits. Third step is to know the proportion of these types food. For example,
a floor plan is not proportional if the toilet and bathroom is bigger than the bedroom and
a bento is not proportional if the amount of fruits is larger than the amount of proteins
inside the container. So, one may follow the traditional Japanese bento ratio 4:2:1, or 4
parts rice to 2 parts protein to 1 part other ingredients.
