Similarly, technological advances made in transportation
made it possible for him to acquire materials and products pro-
duced in other corners of the world more conveniently than
developing a similar product locally. But with economic crises
befalling him one after the other, he suddenly realizes that
importing materials is beyond his means. Thus, he has to rely
on his ingenuity once again to use whatever material is avail-

floor panels (FP-1) measuring 8 '-0 '' ( 2400 mm) x 5 '-4 '' ( 1600 mm)
provide the framing for the 1/2" (12 mm) plywood flooring. The
l Rafters framing the roof are 2" x 6" (50 mm x 150 mm),
with the steeper slope .spanning 6 feet (1. 8 M). Half-inch
< plywood gusset plates join the rafters together at the ridge
and at points where the slope changes. The bottom of the

panels (RP-1 & RP-2) and wall panels which are similar in cons-
truction to the floor panels provide the framing for th~ 1/2" x
4' x 8' (12 Diil) plywood skin.
Where the rafters meet the floor joists are wood slats
to provide additional ventilation.
The possibility for additional expansion at ground level
is one positive factor of this model.
Although this model offers the maximum utilization of
timber, providing an appropriat~ impervious covering for the
plywood outer skin has yet to be solved satisfactorily. One
material substantially cheaper than corrugated galvanized iron
roofing tried on this model is preformed vinyl sheets. Asphalt
shingles were also tried and appeared to perform well.
As this model is practically made of wood1 market accept-
ance was very poor.

of houses is very much more manifested in traditional houses,
than in modern homes where technological advances have made it
possible to alter and central the e:.vironment inside the house.
In tropical countries, heat and humidity are major factors
to contend with. 'l'emperature is at its highest in the months
from March to May where this may go as high as 38°C (100°F).
Average day - time temperature is between 29 to 32°C, while
average night-time temperature is between 20 to 24°C.
Annual precipitation averages 2500 mm (100 inches) with
some areas receiving as much as 4570 mm (180 inches) of rain-
fall. Strong winds most often drive the rains almost horizontally
and torrential rains are conunon occurrences as typhoons.
The Philippines lies within the circr.1 Pacific belt where
the greatest number of tropical cyclones occur. An average of
19 typhoons hit the country yearly with the greatest frequency

Code" of the Philippines which aims tc safeguard life,
health, property, and public welfare, provides minimum
standards and requirements to regulate and control the
") location, design, quality of materials, construction, use,
occupancy and maintenance of building and structures.
The provisions of the code apply to all p~lic and private
buildings and structures except traditional indigenous
family dwellings, meaning houses constructed of native
materials such as bamboo. nipa, loqs or lumber, the total
cost of which does not exceed fifteen thousand pesos.
The enforcement of this code is vested in the Minister of
Public Works, Transportation and Communications.
3. "The National Structural Code for Buildings" which comple-
ments "National Building Code" is anothPr law governing
building design and construction. "Republic Act No. 544,
otherwise known as the Civil Engineers Law, empowers the
Board of Examiners for Civil Engineers to promulgate rules
and regulations deemed necessary to safeguard life, health,
and property as related to the design and construction of
buildings.
4. Presidential Decree No. 1185 or "The Fire Code of the
Philippines" is aimed at safeguarding lives of persons
and the loss and damage of properties by fire by promul-
gating and enforcing fire safety standards, the
incorporation of fire safety constr-:ction and the pro-
visions of protective and safety devices in buildings and
structures. The provisions of the Fire Code apply to
