ZAMBOANGA
CITY, May 9 (PIA) – The Civil Aviation Authority of the
Philippines (CAAP) here, in partnership with the Regional Development Council-9
(RDC), will conduct an interior design contest for the improvement and
upgrading of Zamboanga International Airport.
The contest was conceptualized
during the Problem-Solving Session conducted by RDC-9’s Committee on Regional
Project Monitoring (RPMC) in September, last year.
The contest, which is also in
collaboration with the local government of Zamboanga, the Department of
Tourism, Western Mindanao State University-College of Architecture, and the
three major airline companies operating in the city, Philippine Airlines, Cebu
Pacific and Air Philippines, will center on the cultural character of the city
and the region.
The contest’s main objective is to
come up with a master plan or blue print of the airport terminal interior for
consideration by DOTC in future improvement of the airport. The contest will
specifically focus on portfolio of the proposed interior design of Check-In,
Pre-departure, mezzanine, to include food court, recreational business center,
and breast feeding or toddlers’ corner, in accordance to Gender and Development
policy, and arrival areas.
The contest is open to all
interested licensed architects and interior designers in the city and neighboring
cities and provinces.
For interested participants, a
registration form can be secured at CAAP-Zamboanga Int’l Airport starting May
15, the launching of the contest. Each contestant should submit a Computer
Aided Drafting Design (CADD) or any computer generated -drawing of floor plans
and interior designs, highlighting the four areas mentioned above. It should be
mounted on a 20”x30” illustration board. Deadline of submission is on June 28,
2012. A soft copy of the design should also be submitted in a compact disk

Criteria for the contest include
Creativity and Originality (40%), Presentation (20%), relevance to the
city/region (30%), and passengers’ choice (10%).
The designs will be short listed,
with the board of judges selecting the best designs, on July 6th. All
designs in the short list will be displayed at the pre-departure area for the
passengers to select the best design through balloting which will be given
after paying their terminal fees. The final judging will be sometime in August,
although no specific date yet on the announcement of the winners.
