The Audio-Visual Room (AVR) of the College of Architecture and Fine
Arts of the University is an essential learning space for it functions to cater to
the community's needs both in curricular and co-curricular aspects. Faculty and
student meetings, as well as workshops, seminars, and other learning-related
events, are being held here making it multifunctional. However, due to the
increasing number of students, the available space for the AVR is limited, and
concerns have been raised about its availability.
A research study entitled CAFARTITION aims to solve the problem of
space utilization by designing and fabricating a partition that enhances the form,
function, and aesthetic features of the CAFA-AVR. The panels are made of
marine plywood, insulation foam, and formica. Innovative materials such as
bevel gear, pinion gear, bearing, shaft, and slider roller are also used in the
project. CAFARTITION is a feature that enables the user to divide and organize
a shared space into two separate rooms, providing increased privacy and better
utilization of the air conditioner's cooling capacity. With CAFARTITION, the
panels can be quickly and easily folded or straightened to create a whiteboard
for writing or a white screen for projection, maximizing the available space.
Moreover, the design solution was evaluated based on its functionality,
aesthetics, safety, durability, portability, workability, effectiveness, and space
utilization to ensure the validity and reliability of the data used in the research
instrument. After conducting the study, the researchers obtained an overall
mean of 4.44 in CAFA AVR, which indicates that the project proposed by the
proponents is "Acceptable".
