E-Den: A knowledge Process Outsourcing Park

Project idea

In the past four years, the Philippines has become one of the fastest-growing market economies both in Asia and the world, Asian countries increase the business industry income and contributed to the growing industry in the region. In addition, regional relationships such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) created opportunities for regional information flow and discovering the common grounds of each country.

Technical information

detail - The study includes facilities, amenities, services and programs, the nature, operations and process needed for a Knowledge Process Park and also the activities of local and foreign users that will accommodate the said project development. The study related to the engineering aspects of the design such as detailed structural, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and others shall be continued to the general concepts only as well as its application to the Knowledge Process Outsource Park. Thus, Due to the complexity and scale of the problem the study in-depth is not that comprehensive, but will focus further on architectural design and solutions applied to the proposal.
The study will be limited only to the design of the proposed KPO centre and will focus on the development of the proposal, the complexity of admin intervention assessment will not be included due to distance, money, time constraints and limitation of knowledge. It will focus on the development of the proposal only and will be modified to the Configuration of the proposed project within the site. The study will only include the architectural design of the project but would not provide detailed structural, mechanical, electrical and sanitary systems.
