Good day!
The address and contact details of the account has been updated.
I, Kristian Erick Bautista, a 5th year BS Architecture Student of Batangas State University, Alangilan Campus, would like to request the stated information from the year 2010 to 2022. This is to support my thesis research entitled, "Kaisa: A Proposed Person With Disability (PWD) Medical Complex through Inclusive Community Design Development in Lipa City."
The study is about a proposed Medical complex that includes a Medical Mall, Sports and Recreational Facilities, and a Hotel. It is to cater and provide dedicated facilities for the sector of PWDs. It aims to promote inclusive design that could empower the PWD sector while still be conventionally usable for other sectors of the community.
I hope for your kind consideration about this request.
Thank you and God Bless.
