Honelyn R. Biala
Tarlac State University Architecture Graduate
HI!
I am Honelyn R. Biala, an architecture student from Tarlac State University. I already have experience and exposure in the architectural field for almost two months during our internship program last year. I have participated in site visits, engage in workers, suppliers and clients meetings. I also experienced a glimpse in materials and tools inventory. I may have less experience and exposure but I am willing to learn and actively seeking for new opportunities. To engage and enhance my skills and knowledge in the architectural field, a career that I have chosen. I am preparing myself to face the real world outside of school. I am hardworking, flexible, reliable and can easily adapt to the current situation. I am capable of accepting my own mistakes and willing to explore and learn new knowledge from my future mentors.
For the five years of studying architecture program, it honed my skills when it comes to problem solving, critical thinking and analysis.
Design Philosophy
"Great architecture does not always mean designing and building unique, beautiful buildings; truly great architecture communicates, has a deeper understanding of its users through looking at different perspectives, and should not only focus on one side over and over." "Must have good characteristics and function, designed for humanity while taking into account the other existing living things." -

This is local Filipino restaurant that serves special dishes and delicacies from Philippine and Palawan
For the restaurant, the form of the roof manipulated Bahay Kubo roof I manipulated the common thatched roof of the Bahay Kubo a half rectangular and half hexagonal shape. So, in this kind of roof, air can easily enter, it provides a clear and comfortable space as well as it gives a good amount ventilation and enough amount of lighting to luminate the area Aside from the space, air and shading it also dealt with the future typhoons in which if typhoons occur or strong winds happens the air will just directly revolve around the roof For the walls, I have used concrete louvered walls for the air to circulate and light to enter, weave pattern walls to complement the with the concrete and it abundant in San Vicente, and a glass for modernity of design materials used are lightweight at the same time it is abundant on the area like these natural stones, vertical wood plank support, coco lumber, low e glass and native plants.
As you can see, this restaurant is more on outdoor dining its because we take into consideration the covid 19. Wherein it is better and suitable because there is a free flow of fresh air which prevents the spread of the virus.
