INTRODUCTION
The city of Iloilo is a tourist hub where the best restaurants, museums,
hotels, shopping districts, and nightlife in the province await. It’s most known for
the annual Dinagyang Festival, exquisite heritage sites, deliciously fresh seafood,
and signature Ilonggo dishes. The city is also home to many Spanish-colonial
churches, grand vintage houses, and old commercial and institutional buildings
dating back its heyday as the “Queen City of the South” (Marcos 2015).
With this rising tourism statistic of Iloilo City, many travelers go in and out
of the urban. Travelers not only take a trip inside the country, Philippines, but
also overseas. With the rise of tourists, the city needs to develop, a newly

them and to board and leave the aircraft. Most major airport terminal provides
commercial outlets for product services. Many of these are internationally known
brands, clothing boutiques, restaurants and other interior amenities. Some airport

For an Airport Terminal, the place should be spacious and well ventilated
to accommodate the needs of the passengers for comfort and stress-free feeling
before getting in the aircraft. In order for the city to catch up with the rising
design for this establishment. Industrial Design is proudly displaying the building
materials that many try to conceal. This integrates all aspects of form, fit and
function, optimizing them to create the best possible experience for the users.
This design is also the new trend of the century. Having a modern and new
design is important especially for the users and travelers accommodating the,

culture of Japan; most Zen interior uses stones and plants to show peacefulness
and calmness, it also gives a relaxing and quiet ambience for the users. Zen is
also a good thing for large establishments because it is low in maintenance and

The gear represents the Industrial design use in the study, the leaves below
symbolize for Zen design and the center of the picture stands for travelers inside
the airport terminal. These two design concept are merge to help the study to
incorporate a better, sufficient, new and relaxing interior for the space users. The
leaves or Zen Design supports the Industrial Design by creating the interior of the
airport terminal to have balance, harmony and relaxation for the space users.
Zen design lifts up the Industrial design; particular that Industrial Design has an
characteristic that is light, peaceful and calm. The theory of Attention Restoration
is above the two aspects to show that it is the main frame of the study.

The Academe, Interior Design Students, and Future Researchers. This study
will be their guideline in creating new concepts and better than the past
researchers. This will help them to have an idea on how to create a better interior
for an Airport Terminal. This study will give the student or future researcher more
knowledge and idea of what he/she will acquire in the course of his or her
research study.
This study will focus mainly in Airport Terminal’s interior including its
relative areas where the space users load capacity shall be dependent on the
flexibility space of the building. The study included the following: bubble diagram,
matrix chart, floor plan and furniture layout, reflected ceiling plan, floor design,
required number of furniture pieces, wall, floor, ceiling materials, and lastly
lighting fixtures and accessories. The Airport Terminal related areas shall be
composed of departure and arriving area, security inspection station, airline ticket
counters or office area, lobbies, terminal services area, food and beverages such
as cafeteria and bar, outbound baggage facility, and services area. Planning and
