susmio roxanne ginoo... kailangan ba talaga itey?

Name architects (e.g. Palafox) and National Artists (e.g. Santos and Locsin) either earned their graduate degrees from UPCA or taught in the college. *okay*

sabi nga ng alter... este ng bff sisterette mo sa kabilang sinulid,

Ang UP College of Social Work and Community Development, at ang buong UP system ay masayang masaya dahil ang BAr Topnotcher ngayon ay isang UP ALUMNA.

Patunay lamang na ang Iskolar, saan man makarating na unibersidad/law school/graduate school etc sa Pilipinas at sa ibang bansa man, kayang-kayang maging matagumpay at manguna sa anumang larangan!

pwede na din sa bihin ng mga tomasino dito na:

Ang UST College of Architecture, at ang buong UST Community ay masayang masaya dahil ang mga sikat at pinakarerespetong arkitekto at mga national artists ng Pilipinas ay mga UST ALUMNI.

Personally, UST Architecture since this was my course and university. Thesis on the 5th year is usually deliberated solo and rarely in groups (tumba isa, tumba lahat).

On the other hand, I also have friends (yes, still friends regardless of our distances due to work) coming from UP Architecture and Mapua Architecture and they turned out pretty well (working in either HK, Singapore, Dubai, or US) so I wouldn't count which one is better than the other.

However, I ended up working for a game dev company building 3D environments. I've worked in Pinoy architecture/construction firms for a short time but not really fulfilling. Working overseas are more rewarding - you get to travel and inspect the site (be it new construction, expansion, or refurbishment).

[fortherecord]

The bottomline is, name architects and landscape architects chose to study or teach in UPCA simply because it is the best architecture school in the country. It is not about riding on the success of others. *okay*

[fortherecord]

When it comes to architecture, nothing could be more better than UP's. It has the best students, the best faculty and the best reputation.

Right. Among the architecture schools in the country, UPCA offers the most holistic architecture education. *okay*

Aside from offering BS Architecture, the college also offers Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, the only professionally‒accredited landscape architecture program in the Philippines.

On the graduate level, there are the Master of Architecture and the Master of Tropical Landscape Architecture programs.

When it comes to architecture’s allied fields (interior design and urban & regional planning), UP is also the best school.

MMDA gives P2-M cash awards to winners of NAIA T-3 Rotunda Design contest

MANILA, Nov. 18 (PNA) -- The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) recently awarded some P2 million in cash to the winners of the NAIA Terminal 3 Landmark Rotunda Design Competition in simple rites at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Pasay City.

MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando said 145 entries here and abroad vied for the top plums in the design contests for the two recently-completed monumental rotundas at the NAIA 3 terminal.

Fernando said that entries came not only from Metro Manila but also from the provinces and even from the Filipino communities in Taiwan, Singapore and the United States.

The contest is divided into two categories, namely, “Circulo Del Mundo" for the big rotunda and “Maligayang Pagdating" for the small rotunda.

Layag Islas (Islands in Flight) of Adrian Lorenzo, Alfredo Alfonso, Carlo Tibajua, Chris Jimenez, Keith David and Karen Marie Nanguit copped the top prize of P500,000 for the “Circulo Del Mundo" category. (UST Archi Batch 2007)

The contest was launched last May with the aim of looking for the best artistic and architectural design for the rotundas along Andrews Avenue in Pasay city leading to the country’s premiere airport.

The MMDA chairman said then that the contest will showcase Metro Manila as the window of the country to the world and will enhance the image of NAIA to be at par with similar facilities worldwide.

“This contest provides a rare opportunity for Metro Manila to showcase its positive attributes as well as promote the country as a favorable area for trade and tourism,” Fernando added.

The construction of the rotundas is an offshoot to President Arroyo’s directive to the MMDA and the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) to undertake physical improvement projects within the immediate vicinity of the international airport.

Fernando said that this is part of the multi-billion peso “Metro Gwapo" project of the MMDA designed to make Metro Manila a “more vibrant and livable city by 2010."

The contest board of jurors is led by former Tourism Secretary and Heritage Conservation Society president Gemma Cruz-Araneta.
Aside from Cruz-Araneta, the other members of the board of jurors are NAIA General Manager Alfonso Cusi, Architect Paul Alcazaren, president of the Paul Gonzalez Alcazaren Design, Architects Ramon Orlina, Dolly Perez, Horacio Dimanlig, National Artist Napoleon Abueva and the MMDA chairman himself.

ay neneng, hindi rin.

they chose to study at your ishkul kasi walang landscape architecture sa ust. at kaya nila pinili na magturo sa up kasi naguumapaw na sa magagaling na propesor ang ust college of architecture (ust cafa noon). at tsaka hindi madamot ang mga tomasino. ibinabahagi nila sa lahat (lalo na doon sa mga nangangailangan) ang kanilang talino't galing.

masakit bang tanggapin na mas kilalala talaga sila na ust archi grad kaya't pilit na binabanggit na ikinakabit mo ang pangalan ng iyong unibersided sa kanilang mga pangalan?

kung talagang magagaling ang nahubog ninyong arkitekto bakit, puro mga taga-ust lang ang kinukumisyon na arkitekto ng eskwelahan ninyo?

MANILA, Philippines - A jury of eminent practicing architects and academicians has selected the winners of the national quest for truly Filipino home design.

Professor Nicolo Del Castillo of the UP College of Architecture (UPCA) and head of the Competition Secretariat said that in the weeklong judging process, the judges had a tough time selecting the winners from the 79 entries that came in from Filipino architects and students based here and abroad.

Buensalido with Marie Veronique Boncan, Emereauldine Eliseo, Nathan Fabe, Ysrael Guy, Raymond John Balmes, Ernesto Medrano Jr. III, and Bayani Dela Pasion. (UST Alumni)

Wala naman duda na ang UPCA has the best students in the Philippines pero wala din duda na and USTCA produces the best and most creative architects in the country. :)
isang malaking tsek!

dyan mo makikita ang kagalingan ng ustca sa upca.
dyan mo makikita ang malaking pagkakaiba ng ustca sa upca

matatalino nga ang kinukuha ng upca na mga estudyante. mga honor estudents noonghayskul. nagta-top pa nga sila sa boards e. ang taas pa nga ng passing rate nila...sa sobrang taas, nalula ako at nasuka. ahihihihihihihih... pero hanggang doon nalang yun. sad. hikbi, hikbi.

e ang ustca, sabi nga ng iba, ang kinukuha yung mga latak (daw) ng mga iba't ibang hayskul sa pilipinas. mga so-so na estudyante lang. yung hindi academically gifted. pero nakita mo naman, after ng ilang taon na pamamalagi sa loob ng ust / beato, kayang kaya nang makipagsabayan sa mga namahay sa diliman. at hindi lang doon nagtatapos yun... dahil doon na rin sila magsisimulang gumawa ng pangalan at sisimulang maungusan ang sinasabing pinagpala ng katalinuhan nung hayskul.

Yes it is true...Si Leandro Locsin ang nag-design ng royal palace sa Brunei.Want a proof?Ask my dad who is also an architect.In fact isa siya sa mga pinadala ng company nila sa Brunei.In simple words-isa yun sa mga malalaking project na ginawa niya...PM ko pa sa inyo diyan ang cellphone no. niya para maitanong ninyo sa kanya...Kaya niyang i-kwento ng buo ang mga karanasan niya doon...

UST IS THE BEST IN ARCHITECTURE...Kaya yung mga nag-aangkin kila Mr.Palafox,Mr.Locsin ay MAGSITIGIL.Sila ay mga TOMASIAN.
*okay**okay*

On topic: As what ive said before (im not an archi stude ok)Some of the best/well-known structures in the Philippines are designed by UST Arki grad. Sila din ang mga arkitekto ng mga magagandang buildings ng ibang skuls like Univ of SAn Carlos, ADMU etc. If im not mistaken, di lang naman sila sikat sa Pilipinas, maski abroad.*okay*

Of course, due to its huge size and old age...UST would naturally produce more graduates that would build/design buildings. If that's the sole criterion of being the best school for architecture, UST would win. However, when we look at the factors of desirability, UPd would win over UST hands down. UPd has better faculty now. Because it is way more selective than is UST, it has a much better student body that are dynamic and proactive. UPd has also a much better performance in the board exams. And, when both grads apply to large architectural firms, its the UPd guy who would most likely going to get the job. So, between UPd and UST, it's clear that UPd is the better school for architecture. Or even for most programs.

1. they contradict themselves...
2. mahilig sila maki-ride on sa success ng ibang schools...

Obviously, you are missing the point. It is not about contradiction.

Of all the state licensure examinations, the Architect and the Landscape Architect Licensure Examinations are among the most accurate. Why? Aside from assessing the knowledge of an architecture graduate, they also include skill tests.

Riding on the success of others?
Let's give credit to UST alumni who contributed a lot to UP College of Architecture. But come to think of it, UST offers a graduate program in architectue, how come name architects and National Artists pursued their graduate degrees at UPCA? *okay*

I agree.

Alumni's achievements is not the sole factor in assessing the quality of education offered by a certain school.

Aside from being the consistent top performing school in ALE, UP's College of Architecture is also very active in architecture research and extension. This sets it apart from other architecture schools in the Philippines.

So, between UPd and UST, it's clear that UPd is the better school for architecture. Or even for most programs.

well, tama ka, USTCA ang largest architecture school in the country, at ang pinakamahal, (though hindi ko na alam to kasi andyan na ang CSB) pero dun sa its the UPd guy who would most likely going to get the job. at (UPd) has a much better student body that are dynamic and proactive well, mmm... no comment ako :lol::lol::lol:

[Viva La Tigresa]

Wow SCUD, ayos sa research ah. More please. We're learning. =)

[mamborine]

Of course, due to its huge size and old age...UST would naturally produce more graduates that would build/design buildings. If that's the sole criterion of being the best school for architecture, UST would win. However, when we look at the factors of desirability, UPd would win over UST hands down. UPd has better faculty now. Because it is way more selective than is UST, it has a much better student body that are dynamic and proactive. UPd has also a much better performance in the board exams. And, when both grads apply to large architectural firms, its the UPd guy who would most likely going to get the job. So, between UPd and UST, it's clear that UPd is the better school for architecture. Or even for most programs.

Opinyon mo yan kaibigan at iginagalang natin. pero may mga ilang katanungan lamang

Hindi pa ba sapat ang 50 taon kaibigan? Ang mga architekto na gumagawa ng pangalan sa ***** ay mga nagsitapos noong dekada 70,s and 80's wala ba grumadweyt sa diliman nuong 70's and 80's?

Okay; let me clear what I was really trying to say.

Both UPd and UST are great schools for architecture. Both are prestigious schools too. Both have produced famous graduates in the field of architecture.

The reason why we are seeing more buildings/edifices designed by UST graduates now is because they count more than UP archi grads do. So naturally, by ratio and proportion, their graduates would produce more. Add to that the fact that UST was established way, way ahead than UPd's was, many of its alumni have already built a name in the industry when UPd's program was just starting to make a name in the industry.

During the last era, however, we've seen the products of UP architect alumni in world of architecture. And, as we've seen it today, they are catching up pretty fast.

The ballooning popularity of the architecture program of UPd was highly attributable to its top-quality faculty and students.

UPd faculty aren't only involved in actual practice of the profession; they also conduct research on top of handling teaching loads for both undergraduate and graduate students of the university. In other words, their credibility as an architect grew exponentially making them the experts of their field.

The UPd architecture students are few, but they are the best in the country. They were selected rigorously by the university. They have higher level of intelligence and have much better past academic (or otherwise) accomplishments. They were highly achievers even before they entered the university. As such, they are bound to conquer the slightest circumstances and reap more achievements for themselves. The university, as result, benefits from their personal enthusiasm and eventual personal honors. There are bright and talented students at UST. But in general, they don't count as much as those at UPd even if we say UPd students are outnumbered by UST students as a whole.

[mamborine]

UST offers a graduate program in architectue, how come name architects and National Artists pursued their graduate degrees at UPCA?

Wala yata ako alam na national artist in architecture na nagaral ng post grad sa UP. Leandro Locsin? I.P. Santos? Pablo Antonio? Juan Nakpil? hmmmm :confused: parang mali ata ang statement na ito. Kilalang arkitek? ang alam ko lang ay si Felino Palafox pero urban and regional planning ang kinuha nya hindi architecture.

Mukhang ipit na ang mga katoto natin at wala ng maisip na palusot :)

tapos ngayong wala kang maibalandrang achievements ng pinagmamagaling mo arki school, sasabihin mong wala sa achievements ng alumni ang galing ng isang arki iskul at nasa research chuva ek-ek na! komedyante ka, kuning? ahihihihihihi... nakakatawa kasi ang mga palusot mo.

extensive ba ang research? patingin naman ng research na yan para mainspire ang ibang arki iskul dito sa Filifinas sa extensive research na yan!

7,100 islands on 15 hectares
Manila Standard Today

When University of Santo Tomas College of Architecture and Fine Arts students Jason Buensalido, 22, and Karen Cheung, 21, join forces, expect a pleasant surprise. The team-up promises to be a moving force in the world of architecture. Two heads are better than one, all right, but it takes the right combination. Despite their many differences, they are able to meet somewhere in the middle to achieve a common goal. In the process, they emerged as the runaway winner of the recently concluded New Nayong Pilipino Master Development Plan Competition. This significant point in their lives, which only happened last November, has already jumpstarted a very promising career in their chosen profession. Indeed, there is a bright future waiting for Jason and Karen, our new breed of architects.

Let’s start from the very beginning. How did the two of you get involved in a project like the Bagong Nayong Pilipino?

Karen: The contest committee wrote to different universities and colleges around the country. In UST, first there was an internal competition, since there are a lot of architecture students there, to determine the group who would represent the school in the competition. There were three finalists in each school. In the second stage, they chose only one. We didn’t change our design entry though. We just made some improvements. Through it all, we kept the basic concept, although there were additional features.

Jason: The concept we used was “Storytelling our land.” We based the design on how our grandparents tell us stories. Usually there are morals, traditions, and values hidden in those stories. What they do for their stories to make an impact, they make it entertaining. So what we did, we used interactive experiences as the vessel to tell the story of the Philippines. What we noticed is that our generation look for some action.

How long did it take you to come up with the design?

Karen: First phase took us around three months. Then we had to change the presentation and make some adjustments, so we needed two months more. We finished it in five months.

What did it take to make it to the finals?

Jason: Each group from different schools consisted of seven members. Those from UST consisted of only three or less. In our case, there were just the two of us. There were 10 groups who made it to the finals, two from UST. But we were lucky a lot of our classmates helped us. They were very supportive.

Describe the collaboration between the two of you. What made the work a lot easier?

Jason: We have already worked with each other before. Every year, there’s a competition in UST. The chemistry is OK. We don’t force each other’s ideas. We try to meet halfway.

Karen: S’ya, di natutulog. He doesn’t sleep. (Laughs)

Jason: We are used to it. Sometimes we need to sacrifice sleep to beat the deadlines. We were working in her house. I would sleep over there almost every night. Sometimes we’d go for two or three days without sleeping. As for social life, we started to have none back in junior college, but it’s all worth it. Now that we’re working, we can have a social life again.

Describe the fulfillment you get out of this project.

Karen: When I see the construction done, then I will be fulfilled.

Jason: Winning in the competition is already a fulfilling experience. But, of course, what I’ve learned from a lot of people is “Never rest on your laurels.”

What was the inspiration behind the design?

Karen: We were looking at so many books about the Philippines.

Jason: We did a lot of research about our culture. One of the purposes of designing the park is to reintroduce the Filipino culture. Many of us, especially the youth of today, don’t know much about the Filipino culture.

How did you make your design more interactive then?

Jason: Every module is different. We divided the park into six major regions. They are Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, Activity Center, Cultural Center, and, most important, Orientation Region. Basically, what goes on in the Orientation Region is that it orients the visitors about the Philippines in general and what they can experience inside the park. What we observed in the old Nayong Pilipino, for instance the (miniature) Mayon Volcano, is it was right in front of you, but you don’t know anything about it. Since nobody is telling you about it, you don’t know the significance of Mayon Volcano. Now, in the Orientation Region, you get to know everything about the park and what to expect inside. So, you already have the overview, the significance of every part.

What about the Cultural Center?
Karen: People who will enter the park should be the one to make it lively. Costumes are provided which they can wear before entering the park. The Cultural Center is where you can find the House of Costumes, the Caroza Museum,and the Sculpture Park, where you can find replicas of famous sculptures. At the House of Costumes, you get to pick, say bahag (loincloth). That should make the visit lively. But there are people who don’t want to wear any. We don’t pressure anyone. It’s not a requirement.

Jason: In the Orientation Region, there’s what we call the mobile bahay kubo. You go to an entry plaza where you ride in the mobile bahay kubo (bahay kubo on wheels). From one station, it takes you to the next. While riding it, there will be a video presentation. It can accommodate up to 50 persons. We actually based the idea on the bayanihan.

Karen: The other regions are the subdivisions of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. In Luzon, there are different smaller modules of Vigan, Mayon Volcano, Batanes, Hundred Islands, and Banaue Rice Terraces. Everything will be new.

Jason: Batanes is one of the interactive features to be made particularly for children. There’s an area there where they can make their own Batanes houses. In the process, they learn about the Batanes houses and, at the same time, have fun. It’s a more effective way of learning.

Karen: In the Hundred Islands, you push a button and an information sign pops up. While you hop from one island to another, you step on a smaller island to see the sign.

In a nutshell, how would you distinguish the new Nayong Pilipino from the old?

Karen and Jason: It’s more interactive. It’s a walkable park.

How big is the new site?

Karen: It’s 15 hectares but bisected by row.

Jason: The old Nayong Pilipino is 46 hectares. But minus the 10 hectares taken by Naia, it was reduced to only 36 hectares. But in its new location, it’s much smaller. There’s an advantage though. For one, it will be easier to walk. No need to take a jeepney ride. It will be like a [typical] park. We will try to put everything but in a smaller scale.

Do you think Nayong Pilipino will do better in its new location along Diosdado Macapagal Avenue in Pasay?

Jason: I think in terms of accessibility, yes, definitely. First of all, it’s near Roxas Boulevard. SM (Mall of Asia) is going to be there so [it is expected] there will be a lot of people. Since the site of the new Nayong Pilipino is beside the Pagcor City, the President doesn’t want the place to be called the “Gambling Capital (or Center) of the Philippines,” but instead “The New Nayong Pilipino.” The park will be named Bagong Nayong Pilipino, which will be the first development there.

Karen: As for the entrance fee, we have no idea yet. Charito Planas (director of Nayong Pilipino Foundation who also spearheaded the competition) is trying to lower the fee, upon the approval of the board of directors (with Dr. Evelyn Kilayko as chairman).

What is it like working with professionals?

Jason: Actually, we are very lucky. In many cases, as soon as the designers hand in their design, they go, but the people in charge of the competition are involving us all the way.

Karen: We haven’t begun re-planning for the new site. They just ask us to attend meetings to know what’s going on. We talk to the other architects and know each other.

When do you expect to finish everything?

Karen: The board wants it by December. But now, it’s kind of impossible. But we are targeting April next year, before the elections.

Jason: The board just had a meeting and the groundbreaking will be next month, in May.

What’s your next step?

Jason: I don’t know. I’m taking it by the day. Some people are telling me to go find a job abroad. But I want to stay with Nayong Pilipino. First, it’s a big and significant project. Second, it is a sort of our contribution to the Philippines. Third, it’s an honor for us to be able to do that because those who previously designed Nayong Pilipino are very big names, like Bobby Mañosa.

Karen: Nothing in particular. Maybe one day have a firm. But my interest will probably be in houses. I want to design a whole house. I believe each house should have its uniqueness. Usually in a subdivision, the houses don’t look Filipino at all, just copied from something else. It’s like they have no personality.

Jason: I think I want to go for urban planning. I like the idea of architects making a way of life for people.

What do young architects like you consider most important in design?

Karen: Always put in mind that it’s for the Filipino people, for heritage.

Jason: Basically, architecture is for uplifting the human spirit. That’s according to a book. Architects should always keep in mind that they are doing something for the users. They have to know exactly what the users want or what the users need. They should be able to combine beauty with functionality.

What did you receive from UST as a reward for winning the competition?

Karen: We were given the Benavides award for winning in a national or international competition for the school. We’ve got a medal and a certificate.

Jason: Of course, greater expectation.

Please state name(s) or title(s) of publication(s), date(s), author(s), the result(s) of these "researches" and how they have defined architecture in the Philippines.

I'm looking forward to your enlightening response.

Thanks.

Guys, nagpapataasan tayo ng mga ihi dito, pero napag-iiwan na ang Pilipinas ng mga bansa sa South East Asia pagdating sa edukasyon. Sana maghilahan ang mga universities at tulungan yung mga medyo mahina para naman lahat ng mga estudyante ay makinabang. Naungusan na tayo ng Malaysia, Thailand at Singapore, baka talunin pa tayo balang araw ng Vietnam at Cambodia.

Magagaling ang na-produced na mga arkitekto ng mga unibersidad natin, pero nasaan sila, karamihan nasa labas ng Pilipinas.

Happy Easter sa lahat! ;)

e bakit nga kayo nanggagalaiti pag usapan na e researches? kase di nyo kaya gumawa noon?

sabagay, dito pa lang sa PEx, puro dakdak at tanungan lang ang alam nilang gawin... di makagawa ng researches. Ni hindi nyo ata alam ang mga maiinit na fields of researches pag dating sa archi...

ayyy. kaya naman sigurong gumawa ng uste ng research. ikaw, kung makapag salita ka, parang ang galing-galing mo.:rolleyes:
mag-RESEARCH ka din kasi ng research ng ibang school at hindi puro yang sa UP lang. masyado kang myopic:bop:

Happy Easter sa lahat! ;)

Napag-iwanan na tayo dahil nakapag-develop na sila ng foundation for improving their research capabilities to improve their technological status... sa Pilipinas, hanggang ngayon... UP pa lang ang may kapasidad na gumawa ng world-class researches na napapublish at nababasa sa buong mundo sa iba't ibang larangan... mapa-ARCHI man o eng'g/sciences.

Yung iba, hinahigh-blood at napipikon kapag research capabilities na ang pinag-uusapan... di kase nila alam yon... ang alam nila... research lang sa internet via google or yahoo... kaya hindi sila nakikilala sa ibang bansa bilang isang magaling na unibersidad...

Mapa-faculty portfolio man, research capabilities and output, student quality and student selection, alumni, kahit na ang napakababang basehan na board exam, hindi matalu-talo ng mga private schools na may pera ang isang state university.

[Altwegg]

Speaking of research, napatunayan naman sa isang thread dito ang mga kasinungalingan nila di ba?

[santo_santino]

Nag-iisa lang yung sa UST, samantalang yung 2nd at 3rd ay grupo, at babae pa. ;)

[downe_link]

wow RESEARCH and EXTENSION... :naughty: ayos ah. :naughty:

Kaya nga Vision eh. :p
And UST is slowly fulfilling this. In terms of research, kaya nga may Center for Conservation of Cultural Property and Environment in the Tropics, UST's research center for Architecture, Cultural Heritage, and the like. It preserves museum artifacts and historical sites such as centuries-old churches.
Its mission is to value, promote, protect, and preserve the Cultural Property and Environment specifically in the Tropics often at risk in the changing world through its function of research and technology, education, training, and service.

AT diba, base din naman sa international peer-reviewed journals and rankings, UP, ADMU, DLSU, UST, and USC ang pinaka-active sa research. Naturalmente lamang na sa UP ang pinakamadami because it receives subsidy from the government--sa taxes ng sambayanan. Kaya huwag masyado mayabang, same goes to my fellow Thomasians.
Nakikita naman ng lahat ang produkto ng isang Tomasinong Arkitekto.

Paano naman mauungusan ng dami ng research ng private institutions and isang institution na tumatanggap ng bilyones mula sa pamahalaan? :naughty:

In terms of Extension, kaya nga magkakaroon na ng UST-Sta Rosa and UST-General Santos.

Bakit kaya ang daming taurus dito sa PEX? Baka siya yung may multiple alternick dito...

At sobrang tanda na pala ng UST CA noh? 30 years older than UP's? :bop:
Yung tipong lahat ng mga kilala at pinagpipitagang arkitekto ngayon, nabuhay at nag-aral sa UST nang may UP na. :rolleyes:
Yung tipong lahat ng mga arkitekto na ito, dapat patay na dahil sa katandaan ng UST CA. :bop:

[spanishsardine]

Sobrang haba na ng thread na ito. So kaninong ihi na ang pinakamataas lolz. basta in my own opinion UP, UST at mapua magaling.

[fortherecord]

sumisigaw ang buong mundo na UST ang pinakamagaling sa arki sa Pilipinas.

The thomasian world that is. *okay*

(retrieved from: http://www.upd.edu.ph/%7Eca/)

UP's Architecture programs are the most dynamic, comprehensive and socially relevant in the country. Comprehensive and dynamic because of the college's eight studio laboratories (Environmental Architecture, Building Science, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Architectural Communication, Practice and Governance, Architectureal Design and History, Theory and Criticism). Socially relevant because these programs are attuned to the current needs of the society - "green" or sustainable architecture.

[fortherecord]

UP alumni dominate the landscape architectural profession in the country. *okay*

[ЅUX2BÜ]

Sabi sa kabilang thread (according to upians), dapat ang mga research ay published sa refereed journals ('yung international ha?).

Na-publish ba ang mga 'yan sa mga internationally-refereed publication? O isa na naman itong kontradiksyon sa mga litanya at palusot ng mga upian?

Please cite name(s) of refereed publication(s), specific date(s), author(s), eventual effect(s) of these research projects on the condition of architecture in the Philippines.

Thanks.

:)

Parang literary journalism na wala kang alam, 'di ba?

O saan na ang sagot mo sa tanong ko tungkol sa research?

Naghihintay pa rin me.

Balik sa topic: Ibang level na ang UST Architecture. 'Yung iba ang tagal mahimasmasan.

:)

[fortherecord]

I agree. :)
Some of the best/well-known structures in the Philippines are designed by UST Arki grad.

Tower One of the Ayala Triangle, CCP, PICC and the Folk Arts Theater were all designed by Leandro Locsin, National Artist from UST. However, these buildings were constructed by D.M. Consunji Inc. , a firm founded and owned by a UP Civil Engineering grad. *okay*

Hindi naman ito international refereed ek ek katulad ng sinasabi ninyo ah. Simpleng papel lang ito eh. :glee:

Naku wala atang mailabas na datos. Saan na yung pilipinas1234567890? Labas na. Isama ninyo na din diyan sa mga datos mga kilalang arkitekto ninyo kung meron man.


Palusot number 100: Research paper lang pala, hindi pala international refereed ek ek ito. Wow, mali!

Palusot number 101: Magtagisan na lang tayo sa research, tutal naman ang architecture ay higit sa lahat tungkol sa research.

FACT: upca will always remain THIRD in Philippine architecture. How sad naman.

:)

[maroon_spinoza]

^ effort!

hindi ko alam sa UST ha, pero feeling ko sa Arki ng UP, ang scientific niya. kasi may math series (na parang UP engg lang) pati physics and chem and kung anu ano pa.

so i think stressful siya. kaya nga yata inallow na nung philippine science high school system na kumuha ang grads nila ng Arki, kasi it's science-ish daw, or whatever.

yun lang. ang umaway saken, chaka.

ok sige para matapos na mga tsong tanggapin na natin na mas magaling ang UPCA sa mga aspetong ito:

Research (nasa papel na inaalikabukan sa library)
Faculty (dami ng degrees ng prof. katibayan ng kanilang diploma na nakalimbag sa papel na nakatago o nakasabit sa dingding ng kanilang bahay.)

Pero dapat din natin tanggapin na mas magaling naman ang UST sa mga bagay na wala sa papel.

At eto ay pinagtitibay ng mga naitayong mga gusali na wala na sa papel kundi ginagamit na ng sambayanan :)

Ano ba ang trabaho ng arkitekto? magdisenyo ng gusali o magsaliksik?

Sabi ng isang dalubhasang guro ng arkitektura sa ibang bansa.

"In order to build a case for tenure or promotion, many a designer has tried to become a researcher, an artist, philisopher or a historian. It's usually a bad fit. The method of the designer is an exquisite intellectual exercise that is fully equal to that of science or art, and we owe it to ourselves to enlighten our university administrators on this point. Designers ought to be able to qualify for academic advancement solely on the basis of their design work" - Edward Allen, FAIA

Aside from educating people, universities are expected to generate new knowledge through research.

RESEARCH PROGRAMS OF UPCA:
The research function of the College affords the government and private sector databases and information systems that are currently not available or difficult to obtain. This program provides new opportunities and avenues for the development of relevant knowledge as well as effectively disseminates this generated knowledge through its publications.

Recognizing the importance of the field of architecture and the built environment, the University of the Philippines, through the College of Engineering, conceived and initiated the idea of having such a program offered in the State University in 1954. A five-year undergraduate curriculum was developed and approved by the Board of Regents in 1956. The program was implemented in First Semester of Academic Year 1956-1957 with thirty-six (36) entering students. Proving to be more attuned to the educational needs of future architects, the U.P. Architecture program was later adopted by other schools. Probably seeing architecture more of an art than a science, the U.P. Board of Regents, in 1959, transferred the program to the School of Fine Arts making it the School of Fine Arts and Architecture.

In 1961, the School was elevated into a College, as the Architecture Program had its first graduate. Realizing perhaps that architecture is both art and science, integrally concerned with culture and technology, people and place, the U.P. College of Architecture was recognized in 1970 as a separate academic unit. It immediately embarked in making itself a relevant and responsive educational institution by developing programs in Landscape Architecture and in the graduate level. Both programs were considered as pioneering works in architectural education in the country. The Master in Architecture Program offered specializations in Architectural Design, Architectural Science, Community Architecture and Housing. The graduate program had its first batch of graduates in 1974 with those graduating from the Bachelor of Architecture Program following suit in the succeeding year. The College continued with its dynamic development with the introduction of the masters Program in Tropical Landscape Architecture in 1985. It also bolstered its research and extension functions by setting up its own Research and Extension Unit in 1990. Its leader role was further confirmed when the Commission of Higher education declared the College a National Center of Excellence in Architecture in 1999.

After 50 long years without a building of its own, the whole college transferred to its new home, during the Summer of 2005. The College of Architecture Complex consists of 2 buildings proposed to be called the Juguilon Hall, after the first Dean of the independent College of Architecture, Dean Aurelio T. Juguilon. A very concerned and active UPCA Alumni Foundation continually conducts vigorous fund-raising campaign to help in the procurement of new furniture and equipment.

The UP College of Architecture celebrates its 50th year this 2006 and throughout its half century of existence it has continued to break new ground for new concepts and approaches in the field of Architecture and Built Environment. Its faculty are among the pillars and fountainhead of architectural knowledge in the country, its graduates becoming not only shapers and molders of the built environment but builders of the nation as well. With these, along with its program offerings, the College has truly lived up to its recognition as a National Center of Excellence in Architecture.

Magaling naman talaga arki ng UST ah. Pero love your own palagi eh.

Panget na ng Pex. Puro UP vs UST na lang sa lahat ng bagay. Walang sinabi ang Ateneo at La Salle.

UP - UST, UST - UP ang tunay na rivalry. :lol:

[Dyak Isparow]

Hindi naman ito international refereed ek ek katulad ng sinasabi ninyo ah. Simpleng papel lang ito eh. :glee:

Naku wala atang mailabas na datos. Saan na yung pilipinas1234567890? Labas na. Isama ninyo na din diyan sa mga datos mga kilalang arkitekto ninyo kung meron man.


Palusot number 100: Research paper lang pala, hindi pala international refereed ek ek ito. Wow, mali!

Palusot number 101: Magtagisan na lang tayo sa research, tutal naman ang architecture ay higit sa lahat tungkol sa research.

FACT: upca will always remain THIRD in Philippine architecture. How sad naman.

:)

What? UPCA..? UP College of Agriculture? sa Philippine Architecture? lols. :bop:

FACT Number1: UP is number ONE in RESEARCH and EXTENSION. Despite the fact of being a public school.

UST's Architeture is good. Dapat ipagmalaki. But do not cross the line if your talking about research. Mahirap magbungkal ng ebidensya. Lalo na kung wala ka halos mahanap.

UP College of Architecture is the best in the country and UST is just lagging behind nowadays.

Hini na actually tinatanong to. Sa mundo ng mga taga UP, UP daw ang magaling pero sa myndo ng mga totoong arkitekto. Kahit sinong tanungin niyo na arkitekto, UST is still the best school for architecture. Please lang mga taga UP, give credit to where is due, alam namin na kahit sa isip isip niyo, walang binatbat ang UP arki sa UST arki. Please lang, maraming nagbabasa ng pex so iwasang ang brainwashing. Nakakaawa n tuloy kayo

^ effort!

hindi ko alam sa UST ha, pero feeling ko sa Arki ng UP, ang scientific niya. kasi may math series (na parang UP engg lang) pati physics and chem and kung anu ano pa.

so i think stressful siya. kaya nga yata inallow na nung philippine science high school system na kumuha ang grads nila ng Arki, kasi it's science-ish daw, or whatever.

yun lang. ang umaway saken, chaka.

ahh yun naman pala. science-ish ang sa UPCA, kasi sa UST arki ang alam ko, ART+SCIENCE+HEART(? hahaha:bop:) kasi ganun ang pagkaka alam ko sa Arkitektura, di lang sya science-ish.

hindi kita inaaway, at hindi ako chaka:lol: (defense)

[mamborine]

Nag-iisa lang yung sa UST, samantalang yung 2nd at 3rd ay grupo, at babae pa. ;)

Ang arkitektura kasi ngayon d na lang panlalake at sa katunayan pang international na ang kalibre ng mga pinay na arkitekto. :)

02.28.2009 - AR. YOLANDA DAVID REYES: THE FIRST SOUTHEAST ASIAN WOMAN ARCHITECT TO BE ELECTED HONORARY FELLOW OF THE AIA

The United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) is proud to announce that Architect Yolanda David Reyes has been elected to be an Honorary Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the first Southeast Asian architect to receive the award.

The award is one of the highest honors the AIA bestows upon international colleagues. Elevation to honorary fellowship not only recognizes the achievements of the architect as an individual, but also elevates before the public and the profession a model architect who has made a significant contribution to architecture and society. Honorary fellowship is granted to international architects who have shown distinction in fulfilling the objectives of the Institute.

At present, this coveted recognition has been given only to three women architects in the world. Architect Reyes will receive her medal of honor on May 2, 2009 during the AIA National Convention in San Francisco, California.

Architect Reyes is indeed an exemplar of what an architect of excellence should be. She is an ordinary person who led such an extraordinary life and considered to be as one of the most outstanding and respectable figures not only in the Philippines but in Asia as well.

Both an Architect and an Environmental Planner, Architect Reyes specializes in architectural design and facility planning. She finished her BS degree in Architecture in 1975 and her MS degree in Architecture in 1986 at the University of Santo Tomas College of Architecture and Fine Arts and Graduate School respectively. She earned her PhD academic units at the School of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of the Philippines.

She was not only admired for her professional competency and her hard work, she was also widely praised for her “role model in exemplary performances” as the first female National President of the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP), the Integrated and Accredited Professional Organization of Architects, as Chancellor of the UAP College of Fellows and presently the Chairman of the UAP Foundation whose members are mostly UAP Past Presidents, and as newly-appointed chairman of the Commission on Higher Education-Technical Panel for Architecture and member of the UNESCO-UIA Architecture Education Validation Committee.

Architect Reyes had markedly influenced the architecture profession through her espousal of causes and programs that impact on the practice of architecture in domestic and international settings. As leader, he successfully led the UAP in realizing the dreams of many past national leaders have come into fruition: a stable organization that has come of age and has reached out not only throughout the Philippine soil but furthermore across the Pacific to embrace the Filipino architects abroad, the completion of the UAP National Headquarters which serves as the “Home of the Filipino Architects”, a revision of the Architecture law governing the practice of the profession in the Philippines, which was enacted into law in March 2004, and several joint programs and undertakings with government institutions and agencies, the fruitful dialogues and imminent unification with other architects professional organizations, all these are major accomplishments of a most memorable term, and by all counts, as stated in the UAP History Book, is a hard act to follow.

Architect Reyes holds the distinction of being the first lady Chairman of the Architects Regional Council Asia (ARCASIA), the umbrella organization of government recognized architecture institutes of 17 countries in Asia. As written in the Arcasia History Book, her colleagues described her with Feminine Strength, Service Leadership, Innate Charm and Far Reaching Vision.

During her stint as Chairman of Arcasia, her success was paramount as she invigorated various important programs in addressing the issues on global warming, cross-border practice, collaborative Asian architectural researches and conservation and preservation of important structures around the region.

In the words of an esteemed colleague in Arcasia, she was described as a “paragon of leadership of architects in Asia which command reputation, respect and distinction due to the fact that in everything she has done, she has shown an ability to make impossible things happen.”

Architect Reyes offers a blend of real-life wisdom with up-to-date insights in strategic leadership relations and culture development issues as she spearheaded campaigns for relief operations for the victims of the 2004 Tsunami disaster, which gave five Sri Lankan families the chance to own their new houses and start a new life. She brings her intuition and offers practical solutions and alternatives in view of the publication of Information Handbook on Disaster Preparedness which encapsulates her conviction that “the tragedy made us aware of the fragility of our existence and made us appreciate better the value of life.”

Truly a remarkable woman and an academician at heart, Architect Reyes served as the Dean of the College of Architecture of the oldest university in Asia, the University of Santo Tomas for nine years. As she was able to encourage her peers of a deep sense of professionalism and helped mold the minds of future designers into having commitment to excellence, it was under her stewardship that the College was named Center of Excellence by the Philippine government, ranking it the top among other schools in the Philippines. http://www.united-architects.org/headliners_view.php?id=348

Filipino-Spanish beauty Cristina Elan Policarpio is passion personified. When asked to describe herself, the 5’6” looker says she is a person who works really hard when she enjoys something. Architecture and design are among her passions.

“My favorite subject is Design because I’m free to design just about anything and let my imagination go wild,” declares this bubbly and animated Architecture student at the University of Sto. Tomas. “Lately, we’ve been studying the history of architecture, the appreciation of different styles and how they came to be. It’s really fascinating to see how form evolved from function and how, even today, we still design the same concept.” Cristina reveals that as a kid, she liked coloring books and making things using her creative hands. “I am the creative one in the family so later on, Architecture made sense,” she gushes. Cristina is very focused on finishing her course with flying colors. With Rem Koolhaas and Christian de Portzamparc, two of the most ingenious architects of our time, as her inspirations, Cristina is not far from accomplishing her goal.

Aside from art appreciation, the middle child of businessmen Rafael and Rose (nee Palou) Policarpio is also into the ’60s and ’70s music. This paved the way for her to work with music icon Ramon “RJ” Jacinto on the Sunday show, RJ Online. Co-hosting this show brings a certain high to this lovely lass as she loves meeting people and hearing their stories. “The more you know about people, the more you learn about life. It’s always interesting to see life through the other side of the looking glass,” she shares. Cristina furthers that she enjoys the music of the ’90s as well, citing Gin Blossoms, Third Eye Blind, Matchbox, Sublime and Hootie as staple artists in her playlist.

Cristina, the well-grounded lady that she is, tries to keep in mind that life can’t be all about going out and having a good time. So she maintains a good balance in her life. “I also believe that we should try to outdo ourselves each time. Every day is a challenge to do better. Every day brings opportunities to do better,” adds Cristina, whose passion for structural art extends to her eagerness to take her master’s at the Architectural Association of London after finishing school in Manila. — Jerni May H.

Apparently, sa ibang eskwelahan, ang mindset ay ganito:

"Ah, mag-aaral ako ng architecture kasi gustong gusto ko mag research! 'Di ko naman priority ang mag design ng buildings at mga bahay. Ang totoong hilig ko ay mag research kaya, architecture ang kukunin ko."

ahh yun naman pala. science-ish ang sa UPCA, kasi sa UST arki ang alam ko, ART+SCIENCE+HEART(? hahaha:bop:) kasi ganun ang pagkaka alam ko sa Arkitektura, di lang sya science-ish.

hindi kita inaaway, at hindi ako chaka:lol: (defense)

The combination of ART+SCIENCE+HEART separates The Royal and Pontifical UST from the others.

The others are just happy with science combined with apdo perhaps.

:)

[segneis]

Harharhar. It has always been like that. They think the world revolves around them.

Dito lang ako nakakakita na mas importante ang RESEARCH sa architecture kesa sa ACTUAL OUTPUT. :rotflmao:

Ano bang klase utak meron ang ilang taga-up dito. Susme! Laughingstock na kayo ha. :lol:

Ate Vi, in addition, it has always been their problem. I mean some of the pexers from that school. That is accepting the fact that the premier state university has/have college/s that is/are yet to be the best in a certain field. Pati nga sa produkto eh, masabi lang na iskolar ng bayan, magaling na agad. I guess they will never concede. It seemingly appears their series of posts containing shifting/contradicting arguments (from board performance to research etc.) somewhat reflect the way the famous man sculpture projects himself. I don't even need to describe the attitude of what I see.

[chevara]

Lagi nalang nagaaway ang UP at UST. Hay. hehe. ANg UP naman kasi hindi papayag na mas may magaling sakanila kahit sa iilang aspeto. Dpat LAHAT sa kanila. Magaling naman talaga ang UP no doubt sa lahat at hindi sinasabi ng mga Tomasino dinto na hindi kayo magaling.

Pero kapag ARCHITECTURE ang usapan..iba talaga ang UST diyan. Balwarte yan ng UST at sila talaga ang kilala diyan kahit anung mangyari. Kahit Arkitekto pa ang mga kausapin niyo sa Pilipinas. Sa MUNDO kasi ng UP sila lang ang mga taong likha ng DIYOS na matatalino, magagaling at may karapatan sa lahat ng pagkilala. Anu ba yan. haha. Goodluck nalang.

It's still UST Architecture followed very very very very very very closely by UP Architecture.

Naks naman! *okay*

[taurus90210]

I agree. *okay*

Anyway, Kailan pa naging simpleng papel ang research? :rotflmao:

research paper kase ng high School siguro ang alam nila sa research... yung cut and paste sa Wiki at sa PEx...*okay*

Di ba ang topic e which architecture school is the best?
So dapat ang pinag-uusapan ay kung ano ang kahusayan ng isang academic institution sa larangan ng pagre-research at pagtuturo.

E ano naman kase ang care ng ibang schools sa research, e di naman ito makakatulong sa pagtaas ng %passing nila DAW sa board exam... at sa pag-attract ng students nila next year para dumami ang profits nila...

May makapagbibigay ba dito ng bilang ng mga aplikante taun-taon sa iba't ibang schools? Gayon din ang student-teacher ratio at kalidad ng mga projects/theses ng mga undergrad at graduate students nila?

Hindi maikakaila ang exemplary performance ng UP sa Architect Licensure Examination. *okay*

Right. Among the architecture schools in the country, UPCA offers the most holistic architecture education. *okay*

Aside from offering BS Architecture, the college also offers Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, the only professionally‒accredited landscape architecture program in the Philippines.

On the graduate level, there are the Master of Architecture and the Master of Tropical Landscape Architecture programs.

When it comes to architecture’s allied fields (interior design and urban & regional planning), UP is also the best school.

Taga UP ka ba? Mag research ka mabuti, dyan naman kayo magaling di ba? Magbibigay ka ng names(famous architects like Locsin, Santos and Palafox) kala mo UPCA graduate, e puro UST products sila..tsk,tsk!
Iyan ang hirap sa iba dali ng dali,di naman alam kung ano yung pinagsasabi! :bop:

'2008 PFPA EXCELLENCE AWARDS' HONORS THREE UAP MEMBERS

UAP members Architects Philip H. Recto, fuap Nathaniel A. Von Einsiedel, fuap and Arlen P. De Guzman, uap were awarded the prestigious 2008 PFPA Excellence Awards by the Philippine Federation of Professional Associations, Inc. last November 18, 2008 at the Maynila Hall of the Manila Hotel.

Architects Recto, Von Einsiedel and De Guzman were nominated by the Council for the Built and Natural Environments Inc. as endorsed by the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP), Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners (PIEP) and the Philippine Institute of Interior Designers (PIID).

The PFPA Excellence Award is the highest honor being given to professionals from different field of industry practice who have demonstrated highest level of excellence, ideals, and workmanship in the conduct of their professions.

Supported by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and the four Councils under the PFPA umbrella namely, the Council of Health Professional Association (COPHA), Council for Business and management Professionals (CBMP), the Philippine Technological Council (PTC), and Council for the Built and Natural Environments (CBNE), this annual search, which was first launched on November 17, 2004, continues to propel and boost the moral of professionals and give inspiration to our countrymen and constituents.

ARCH. PHILIP H. RECTO

PHILIP H. RECTO ARCHITECTS has over 30 years of experience in the field of architecture and design. Since 1971, it has designed some of the tallest buildings in the country. Major clients of the firm include financial institutions, large government and private corporations, and reputable building developers. Many outstanding works of the firm have been featured in leading professional journals and newspapers in the Philippines and in Asia. Keeping up with new technology, the firm employs the latest CAD computers to perform design and production services and to enhance production by minimizing/eliminating inaccuracies.

At the helm of the firm's operation is Arch. Philip H. Recto, recipient of the 1998 "Outstanding Architect of the Year" Award of the Professional Regulation Commission, the government agency mandated to license and regulate the practice of Filipino professionals, including 14,000 architects. The Award, one of the highest recognitions for a Filipino architect, was personally presented by His Excellency, President Fidel V. Ramos during the Philippine Centennial Celebration.

Arch. Philip H. Recto is a graduate of the University of the Philippines (UP) where he was a College Scholar and ranked 2nd Place in the graduating class of 1970. A well-rounded student, he was also the Vice-President of UP College of Architecture & Fine Arts Student Council. Years later, the state university would honor him as an outstanding alumnus and instituted the annual Philip H. Recto Design Excellence Awards for best theses at the College of Architecture.

A well-known parsonage in the construction industry, Recto served as President of the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) Makati Chapter for 2 terms (1983 & 1984); Chairman of the 11th Architects' National Convention in 1985; and UAP National Vice President in 1987. He was actively involved in the preparation of UAP Document 301- General Conditions (1984 Edition); and UAP Document 700 - Standard Forms for Architectural Practice, both used extensively by practicing architects today.

Arch. Recto gained invaluable experience in the design and supervision of modern high-rise office buildings, residential condominiums, schools, churches and industrial buildings during a 5-year stay in Singapore (1971 to 1975). He was the architect-in-charge of the 50-storey International Plaza, the tallest building in Singapore at that time. In 1972, he became an associate member of the Singapore Institute of Architects and in 1984, he was admitted as a member of the ASEAN Association for Planning and Housing.

Arch. Recto's outstanding achievement in the field of design was recognized when the rank of Fellow was bestowed upon him by his peers in 1986. This is the highest rank in the professional organization of architects. He also received the "2002 UAP Design Award of Excellence in Architecture" and numerous other awards for his meritorious services to the profession. Dubbed "Designer par excellence" by Construction Magazine (March 1989), his name was acknowledged in VIP's in the Philippine Business (1988), Business & Professionals in the Philippines (1988-1989), ASEAN Who's Who (1991) and Who's Who of the World (1999).

A well-respected architect, Recto is the recipient of many other prestigious awards, among them are the "Araw ng Maynila" Mayor's Award of Honor for Art and Culture bestowed by Mayor Jose Atienza, Jr. during the 428th founding anniversary of the City of Manila; the "Pinakabantog na Arkitekto sa Taong Sentenaryo" (Most Outstanding Architect of the Centennial Year) Award from the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) District B-3 and the "Outstanding Alumnus in the field of Architecture" Award from his alma mater, the University of the Philippines Alumni Association. He is only the 6th architecture graduate to receive such an honor since the establishment of the UP College of Architecture in 1956.

Arch. Recto is generous in sharing his expertise with various government agencies, too. He was sworn in by President Corazon C. Aquino as a Trustee of the Philippine Technological Council in 1987. He sat as a member of the National Building Code Review Committee (Architectural sub-committee) at the Department of Public Works and Highways, and acted as a Consultant of the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines on the formulation of Uniform General Conditions for Private Construction Contracts. He is a founder and Director of the Society of Philippine Accredited Consultants and served as Chairman of the Architecture Committee of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He is a sought-after resource speaker on topics concerning high-rise building design, the National Building Code and architectural practice.

Aside from professional organizations, Arch. Recto is actively involved in several religious, educational and civic organizations. He is the past Board Chairman of Palawan Hope Christian School and a former board member of Hope Christian High School, Manila; an officer of New Millennium Evangelical Church; a former deacon of the United Evangelical Church of the Philippines and a Paul Harris Fellow of the Rotary Club of Manila.

Inspite of his involvement in various professional, education, religious and civic activities, Arch. Recto still finds time to read on the latest architectural trends and technological developments, realizing that to a large extent, the success of an architectural practice depends on the quality of design, skill and integrity of its architects, and their unrelenting quest for excellence.

Sagot: ang kinikilalang Ama ay si I.P. Santos na isang Tomasino at ang kinikilalang Ina ay si Dolly Perez na isa ring Tomasino.

WASTELAND TO WONDERLAND
RP’s first landscape architect creates beauty in spaces

By Kristine L. Alave
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 22:14:00 03/22/2008

Filed Under: Architecture, Construction & Property, Monuments & Heritage Sites

MANILA, Philippines—Before Luneta, now called Rizal Park, became the national park, it was a swamp.

It was also the best project for Dolly Perez, the country’s first landscape architect.

Perez, 71, recognized as a pioneer in landscape architecture, said she was aghast when she first had a good look of the neglected park. Still, she added, it was challenge she was willing to face.

It was the early ’60s, and Perez had just come home after years of studying landscapes in California.

Perez, who was commissioned by then First Lady Eva Macapagal to rehabilitate the park originally designed by American architect Daniel Burnham, recalled that the area now known as the Quirino Grandstand was then filled with overgrown weeds. It was also the favorite hangout of criminal gangs. “It was the dumping place for salvage victims,” she said.

As the project took off, the park slowly started to turn green, especially around the grandstand area and the Agrifina Circle, the sites Perez worked on in the ’60s.

Her plan was to maximize the open space and make Manila Bay a feature of the park. She wanted to adhere to the original idea that the Luneta was for promenading, for gazing out into the bay.

Unfinished business

The plan, she said, was to level the soil with green grass and accent it with trees. The main attraction was the monument of national hero Jose Rizal. But Perez never finished the job.

When President Diosdado Macapagal was defeated by Ferdinand Marcos, the project was halted and Perez bowed out. Politicians soon took over the design and added incongruous elements, like a carnival, much to her mortification, she said.

“The Filipinos cannot take open spaces,” Perez observed.

Another public project ended the same way, she noted. What is now the Quezon Memorial Circle was supposed to be just one of the features of a large space inspired by New York City’s Central Park and San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.

Like the Luneta project, the Quezon City Park became a victim of conflicting political interests, she said. It did not push through and the land in Quezon City that was supposed to be part of it became the site of government housing projects now known as the “Project” areas.

Politicians then and now do not understand the importance of green spaces, Perez said. “They think it’s a waste of space. But it gives the public a chance to breathe healthy air and serve as a place for recreation, especially for the children. It’s not only for the physical health but for the emotional health of the families,” she explained.

Eventually, Perez decided to focus on landscaping private homes and gardens. She founded her own landscape architectural firm and trained generations of architects for the job.

While creating public spaces provides an architect the opportunity to give something to the public—greens, open space and nature—working on private projects also has its charms, Perez said.

“Public space is a bit impersonal,” she said. “A private commission is about enhancing the life of a family and leaving a stamp that will improve their lives,” Perez said.

More to architecture

She admitted that she did not set out to become a landscape architect. Perez graduated from the University of Sto. Tomas in 1957 with a degree in architecture. It was in UST, under the tutelage of esteemed architect Angel Nakpil, that she realized there was more to architecture than planks and steel. There were also living, breathing, green things.

“In one class, Angel Nakpil talked about landscaping. He said, ‘Trees are for shade.’ I was intrigued. So he encouraged me to study landscaping,” she said.

Since there were no local schools that offered Perez an opportunity to focus on landscape architecture, she went to the University of California (Berkeley) to earn her master’s degree. She graduated in 1962 and worked for various architects before coming home.

Perez recalled that potential clients and other architects did not fully embrace her and her vocation at first. Some even questioned her qualifications and sought to remove her from the architects’ roll.

“It was difficult for them to say ‘landscape architect.’ They had no vocabulary for the profession. They could say landscapist, landscape artist, gardener,” she said.

But other architects and clients soon realized that she was here to stay. Perez founded two architectural firms and became the doyenne of the industry. She also trained generations of architects smitten with land and plants.

Now that she has retired, Perez has stopped accepting projects, although there are still some commissions that pique her interest. She is currently designing the grounds of the Far Eastern University in downtown Manila and a playground cum park in her father’s hometown.

It's still UST Architecture followed very very very very very very closely by UP Architecture.

Masyado mo namang pinalulubag ang loob ng mga kaibigan nating taga UP. :D No offense meant, pero malayo na talaga ang USTCA sa UPCA. If there are parameters that would elevate the latter from the first, that would be passing rate only and maybe, research.

In general:

1. Board Passing Rate. USTCA is the top school in its category [100 or more examinees], though overall pangalawa lang ito palagi sa passing rate ng UPCA.

2. Board Topnotchers. Paramihan, walang makadikit sa USTe sa parameter na to.

3. National Artists. UST pa lang ang nag produce ng National Artists for Achitecture [Leandro Locsin is one]. Paramihan, wala lalo makakadikit sa USTCA dito.

4. Biggest Names in Architecture. Palafox, Manosa, Recio, Casas, Yu, etc. Paramihan, sobrang walang makakadikit sa USTe dito.

5. Top Architectural Firms. Puro Thomasians din ang mga ito.

6. Research. Dito maaaring lamang ang UP. :)

Architecture is UST.

For its research works, I'll consider UP as a distant second.

Third would be Mapua.

Apparently, sa ibang eskwelahan, ang mindset ay ganito:

"Ah, mag-aaral ako ng architecture kasi gustong gusto ko mag research! 'Di ko naman priority ang mag design ng buildings at mga bahay. Ang totoong hilig ko ay mag research kaya, architecture ang kukunin ko."

:D

At habang namamayagpag ang mga arkitektong Tomasino at Tomasina dahil sa kanilang HAS (HEART+ART+SCIENCE) ay 'yung iba riyan ay pa-research research na lang, at walang ginagawang mga gusali.

In celebration of the 67th birthday of the late Br. Andrew Gonzalez FSC, De la Salle University- Manila inaugurated the 20-storey-tall Brother Andrew Gonzalez Hall, the country’s tallest academic building, last March 1.

Aside from the inauguration of the building, the bust of Br. Andrew, done by National Artist for Sculpture Dean Napoleon Abueva, was also unveiled. Abueva, who was among the distinguished guests of the event, was commissioned to create the artwork last November
2006. The bust is made of 34-inch carara marble.

Leading the list of DLSU-Manila administrators present were President Br. Armin Luistro, Executive Vice President Dr. Carmelita Quebengco, and Vice President for Academics and
Research Dr. Julius Maridable.

They welcomed the almost 100 guests of the event including Br. Andrew’s nephew Adolfo Martin Gonzalez and niece Rosario Gonzalez-Lizares, renowned architect Philip Recto, who designed the building, DLSU Board of Trustee Marixi Prieto, Brother Visitor Dodo Fernandez FSC, De La Salle Alumni Association President Jay Gervacio, and Dr. Eduardo Fajardo, principal of the Natividad Galang-Fajardo Foundation, Inc.

Located at the ground floor of the building is the Admissions Hall, which was also formally opened the same day. The Admissions’ exhibit area shows in a nutshell the history of De la Salle Brothers worldwide, a brief biography of St. John Baptist de La Salle, a glimpse of Br. Andrew’s life as a quintessential Lasallian, and an overview of DLSUM’s six colleges and its Centers of Excellence and Centers of Development.

Guests were led to the 18th floor of the building, where the state-of-the-art, 238-seater Natividad Fajardo-Rosario Gonzalez Auditorium is located. In the theater, Br. Andrew’s new book, God Talk, was launched. The book was reviewed by Dr. Dominador Bombongan, Dr. Rolando Gripaldo, and De La Salle University Science Foundation President Rene Fuentes, who delivered some remarks about the book and the author. During the event, Dr. Eduardo Fajardo shared his thoughts and experiences on his encounters with Br. Andrew, whichunderscored his desire to support the advancement of the educational system in the country.

Sorry, but I dont see anything wrong with the post...
board exam results may be considered a good comparison here... but not as a measure (a sole measure or a major measure) of excellence.
Kaso board exam na nga lang, anlaki pa ng diperensya...

Afterall, marami ng patunay na ang UP ang may pinakamagaling na architecture course and curriculum...
yung iba, ang alam kong patunay ay ang achievement ng iilan lang na alumni nila... na wala pa ata sa 1% ng mga graduates nila mula sa pagkakabuo ng kurso.

I suggest, kung may magtyatyaga man, tingnan natin kung sinong mga architects ang hina-hire ng mga biggest architecture companies sa bansa... irregardless of the owners.

Wag na natin isama ang academic efforts for researches and extensions (kahit pa academic institution ang usapan dito), malaki din ang lamang ng UP dito e. Wag na rin isama ang faculty qualifications at student selection process ng school at department, lamang din kase ang Archi ng UP dito e.

[Viva La Tigresa]

board exam results may be considered a good comparison here... but not as a measure (a sole measure or a major measure) of excellence. Kaso board exam na nga lang, anlaki pa ng diperensya...

Palusot number 205: Muli, hindi batayan ang board exam sa galing ng isang eskuwelahan at kurso, pero dahil sa up kami at magagagaling kami kuno ay aba aba aba siyempre malaki pa din lamang namin sa inyo.

Huy 'te, ang UST maraming na-produce na magagaling na arkitekto na naging kilala dahil sa galing nila 'te.

Eh ang up mo ngang mahal 'te ni isa walang sikat. Ano ba namang klase 'yan 'te noh? :lol:

Una sa lahat 'te, it's regardless NOT irregardless. Anong klase 'yan 'te ha? :lol:

Hindi mo nga nasagot yung tanong namin sa 'yo kung anong mga international refereed ekek ang naproduce ng up, babanat ka na naman ng ganito?

Aber, ipakita mo sa amin na tama ka dito. Ibigay ang pangalan ng mga architectural firms na nag-hire lang ng mga taga-up mong mahal at wala ng iba. Isama mo na din pangalan ng mga na-hire, petsa, at mga proyektong nagawa nila.

Ngayon na 'te ha? Galingan mo.

Forever palusot: Kaming mga arkitekto sa up ay mas pipiliin pang mag-research kesa gumawa ng buildings.

Tara na at mag-architecture tayo ng sa gayon ay makapag-research tayo. Go! :rotflmao:

[b] Sorry, but I dont see anything wrong with the post...
board exam results may be considered a good comparison here.

wow naman :lol: diba obvious sa post niya na ipinagkukumpara niya ang UST(with a pinch of degrading) at UP kaso nga lang di nagiisip yung nagpost. Di talaga naisip na magkaiba ng category ang dalawang nasabing eskwelahan.


Ok i'll stop. Kahit ano pa ang gawin ng iba, pagbali-baliktarin man ang mundo, University of Santo Tomas College of Architecture pa rin ang THE best sa Bansang Pilipinas.

pruweba? ehem. backread lang po tayo mga Pexers. :)

[Altwegg]

Taon-taon pala ay napakaraming magagaling na arkitekto ang nagmumula sa UST. Aba't tingnan mo na for just 1 'best' architect nila, eh halos 3 hanggang 4 na best architects ang meron from UST.

[tektalvin]

ohhhh well well,,, say nothing more,,, i think it's really UST.

anyway, no to offend UP but kaya lang nmn mataas ang passing rate nila is because the no. of examinees are so few, compared to UST examinees.

Magaling ang UP talga, but hindi nmn sa board exams nakukuha *** success mo sa carreer as an architect. One pexer even qouted a list of all their board topnotchers,,, hahaha natawa ako kasi kahit isa wala man lang akong kilalang sumikat hahaha...


Anyway ang forst boss ko is from UP , nung 3rd year ako,, 4th year na ko yipeee,,,, wala siguro ko sa lugar to commend or conclude but sorry that's what i see...


opinyon lang

[fortherecord]

i saw up's archi building. it's not yet finished but boy it looks good. no where near the size of ust's, but without bias the design is better.. glass is great talaga. cool

My comments:
6) I'm a Thomasian but I think the New Beato is a disaster :D LOL! I'm not proud of that :P


Of course. UPCA Complex's "green" design is way better than the coffin-like design of UST's Beato Angelico.

Aside from helping in the drive to mitigate global warming, environment-friendly pa.

[SCUD.]

Alam niyo bang si Fernando Ocampo na isang National Artist for Architecture ay nagtapos ng arkitektura sa UP?

Opo, University of Pennsylvania.

Siya ay isa ring Tomasino na nagtapos ng Civil Engineering sa UST.

Ilan sa mga obra niya ay UST Central Seminary at Manila Cathedral.

Fresh design talent for export

By Elvira P. Marfori
The Philippine Star 08/31/2003

...Carmelo Casas, senior partner of Recio+Casas, one of the country’s top architectural firms, relates that particularly in the late 80s and 90s when Hongkong was at the height of its construction boom, architectural firms in the Colony considered it prestigious to have a Filipino designer in the team. Filipino talent was so highly-valued in the industry that an architectural degree from the University of Sto. Tomas (UST) carried as much weight as an MBA from a US ivy league university. Inevitably, most Filipino architects practicing in Hongkong then–including Casas and Berenguer-Asuncion–were graduates of UST.

Largely responsible for putting the name of the Philippines on the architectural and interior design maps of the world, UST architects in Hongkong first made their way to the capital in the early seventies. Much of the migration was jump-started by Filipino-Chinese Joseph Sy who got his training at the Manila campus. On the strength of his exemplary performance, he helped fill vacancies in the industry by inviting former schoolmates to try out for jobs. Among those were Jose Pedro Recio, Casas’ partner, who in turn enticed Casas to Hongkong. As was the case with Recio and Casas, recruits pulled in newer waves of recruits from among school colleagues, with each wave building on the achievements of the earlier batches...

Nakita ko sa pag back-read. :D

IMO, UST Architecture is the best. 5 of my Batchmates who took Architecture went to UST.
And I think they made the right decision. :)

Of course. UPCA Complex's "green" design is way better than the coffin-like design of UST's Beato Angelico.

Huy 'te, ang UST maraming na-produce na magagaling na arkitekto na naging kilala dahil sa galing nila 'te.

Eh ang up mo ngang mahal 'te ni isa walang sikat. Ano ba namang klase 'yan 'te noh? :lol:


There is ONE and ONLY ONE top architect from UP by the name of Philip Recto.

[kurimaw_mama]

Taon-taon pala ay napakaraming magagaling na arkitekto ang nagmumula sa UST. Aba't tingnan mo na for just 1 'best' architect nila, eh halos 3 hanggang 4 na best architects ang meron from UST.

sana wala ni isa sa kanila ang nasa call center ha... baka meron.
Sino ba pinakahina-hire na graduates ngayon?

[fortherecord]

at dito lang kami natalo ng UPCA, napaka uninspiring ng beato angelico for artists like us. pero at least hindi na skwater sa engg. hehe.

though alam ko mum ang mga prof ng uste sa beato design kasi former deana ng nagdesign ng beato e.:naughty:

Even UPCA's BS Arch curriculum is way better than its UST counterpart. *okay*

Dr. Geronimo V. Manahan, former dean of the College of Architecture (CA), was recently honored by the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) with its highest distinction, the Likha and Gold Medal Award.

Only the 8th recipient of the award in UAP’s more than 30 year-history, Manahan now joins the ranks of National Artists for Architecture Leandro V. Locsin and Gabriel Formoso, Cesar Cachela, Manuel Mañosa, Angel Lazaro, Bobby Mañosa and Felipe Mendoza.

He was recognized for his “exceptional practice as a professional and exemplary performance as an architect and environmental planner.”

The Likha and Gold Medal Award is the highest distinction bestowed by the UAP National Board as endorsed by the College of Fellows upon a Fellow. The decision of the Board must be unanimous for an award to be handed out.

UAP is an organization established in 1974 with the merger of the Philippine Institute of Architects (PIA), the Association of Philippine Government Architects (APGA) and the League of Philippine Architects (LPA), and was officially confirmed in 1975 by the Professional Regulation Commission as the only duly accredited bona fide professional organization of architects in the Philippines.

Manahan, who was CA dean from 1984 to 1990, was instrumental in continuing the college’s dynamic development and instituting the Masters Program in Tropical Landscape Architecture in 1985. He was part of the team that developed the ladder-type curriculum of BS Architecture that is now applied in all schools and universities in the country. Prior to deanship, Manahan served as college secretary from 1971 to 1979.

Naku! pinaguusapan naman ngayon ang mga buildings sa campus at GREEN architecture, bigla ko tuloy naalala ang mga likha ng mga magagaling na Tomasinong arkitekto sa mga eskwelahan


Si Architect Dan Lichauco ang isa sa mga nangunguna sa green architecture sa bansa. Kaya huwag magmagaling ang iba tungkol diyan :)

good point. wahahah! Kahit ilang architects pa yan.. A certain percentage.. Call center pa din bagsak nyan. :lol:

[frititomasa]

^marami kaya, kasi mahirap maghanap work ngayon eh. marami sa mga friends ko na kaka-graduate lang from UST archi, nagko-call center kasi nga naman kaysa sa wala.

on topic, UST is the best since its the oldest and its tradition of excellent education has continued until today. patunay na po dyan ang naggagandahang architectures inside the campus.

moreover, madami ng buildings ang nagawa ng mga thomasian architects na talaga namang mapapa-wow ka talaga tulad ng sm north sa quezon city.

ust is followed by mapua then up then adamson.

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z88/SCUD_1975/rizallibraryjamaicus.jpg thanks jamaicus


Hindi pa tapos noong nag-bisita iglesya ako nitong mahal na araw. Mukhang magiging suki ng mga Heswita si Recio. Pero kinakabahan ako dito sa bagong library. Malalaking bintana at salamin ang mukha ng gusali, pero nakaharap yata sa kanluran! Ang gastos sigurong palamigin ang loob nito.

[Altwegg]

Sa tingin ko ay maganda ang kakalabasan ng Rizal Library ng Ateneo na likha ng isang Tomasinong arkitekto.

Keep posting more marvelous pictures of Filipino architects' works, especially those from the best architectural school in the Philippines, UST.

Aba eh dapat lang na maging suki nila si Recio, di ba't pareho sila ni Arch. Casas na nagtapos sa Ateneo High School?

Kaya tama lang na sila rin ang nagdisenyo ng Church of Gesu sa Ateneo

Dr. Geronimo V. Manahan, former dean of the College of Architecture (CA), was recently honored by the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) with its highest distinction, the Likha and Gold Medal Award.

Only the 8th recipient of the award in UAP’s more than 30 year-history, Manahan now joins the ranks of National Artists for Architecture Leandro V. Locsin and Gabriel Formoso, Cesar Cachela, Manuel Mañosa, Angel Lazaro, Bobby Mañosa and Felipe Mendoza.

He was recognized for his “exceptional practice as a professional and exemplary performance as an architect and environmental planner.”

The Likha and Gold Medal Award is the highest distinction bestowed by the UAP National Board as endorsed by the College of Fellows upon a Fellow. The decision of the Board must be unanimous for an award to be handed out.

UAP is an organization established in 1974 with the merger of the Philippine Institute of Architects (PIA), the Association of Philippine Government Architects (APGA) and the League of Philippine Architects (LPA), and was officially confirmed in 1975 by the Professional Regulation Commission as the only duly accredited bona fide professional organization of architects in the Philippines.

Manahan, who was CA dean from 1984 to 1990, was instrumental in continuing the college’s dynamic development and instituting the Masters Program in Tropical Landscape Architecture in 1985. He was part of the team that developed the ladder-type curriculum of BS Architecture that is now applied in all schools and universities in the country. Prior to deanship, Manahan served as college secretary from 1971 to 1979.

The former dean is presently involved with PROS (Planning, Resources and Operations Systems), an urban planning firm he set up, and is doing significant research on housing and passive cooling. He also heads a committee proposing the establishment of a Center for Tropical Architecture.

An expert in urban planning, Manahan holds a Diploma in Drafting (with honors) from the Philippine College of Arts and Trade (1956) and a BS Architecture (cum laude) from CA (1962). He obtained his Master of Town and Country Planning from the University of Sydney in 1968 and Ph.D. in Urban Planning from UP in 1992.

Impressive indeed...but in reality, as evidenced by many posts here, UST still produces the best architects.

Architecture requires a good sense of aesthetics and creativity that no amount of didactic and scholarly excellence can ever supersede. Yes, it needs a healthy dose of science and theory but talent, a good grasp of beauty, harmony, proportion and common sense gives one the edge.



UP has the best faculty among all the architecture schools in RP. No other school comes close. *okay*

The Architectural Archives Philippines, a collaboration between the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) and the Philippine Institute of Architects (PIA), has produced a list of twelve (12) outstanding Philippine skyscrapers.

One San Miguel Avenue, towering at a height of 207 meters through 54 storeys, is celebrated as one of the highest among the buildings that made it to the archives.

Boasting a design by multi-awarded Architect Philip H. Recto, One San Miguel Avenue sets the standards amongst the giants of Philippine high-rise mixed-use buildings. Standing at third among the Philippines’ tallest structures, One San Miguel Avenue remains the first skyscraper designed completely by a local architectural firm without the help or association with foreign design consultants.

One San Miguel Avenue is most distinctive through its curved roof structure and strategically segmented façade. Rising above the many structures of Ortigas Center and far from the cluster of high-rise buildings, it can be seen standing all on its own from many parts of Metro Manila, easily acting as a landmark for one of the fastest growing Central Business Districts in the country.

Naku at napaguusapan na rin lang naman ang mga Simbahan sa mga eskwelahan, maalala ko nga'y hindi lang ang UP at Ateneo ang nabiyayaan ng talento ng mga Arkitektong Tomasino sa mga disenyo ng kani-kanilang mga simbahan. Maglakad lang sila papuntang New Era University sa Commonwealth Ave. ay makikita naman nila ang napakagandang gawa ng Master Architect na si Carlos A. Santos-Viola ng UST

http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z88/SCUD_1975/incdx-1.jpg thanks dx

Grabe na to. Halos lahat na yata ng iconic structures sa bansa, mga Tomasino ang arkitekto. *okay*

[taurus90210]

I think nalilihis ang topic dito...
the topic is

best archi school, not UP archi grads vs. UST archi grads

Ang alumni credentials can be considered as one of the factor in measuring academic excellence, but since academic quality ng school ang tinatanong, hindi pwede magfocus sa alumni lang...

Also, we can't say that XXX company owned by an XXX alumnus is better than YYY university alumni. Who knows, baka kahit ang may-ari e graduate ng XXX university, pero he employs YYY graduates, e di the credit goes more sa alumni ng YYY school, and vice versa.

So, dapat tingnan ang portfolios ng mga companies na ito, tingnan ang credentials ng mga architects nila na hina-hire. Baka mamaya kahit na XXX alumnus ang may-ari, puro YYY naman ang nagwo-work at ang kapwa nya XXX ay back-end support lang, less than 10% ng population pa sila...

Saka from designing buildings, ano pa ba ang trabaho ng architect graduates na non-academician? May nagde-design ba sa kanila ng bagong archi high tech gadgets? May nakagawa na ba sila ng original design na hindi eurpean/american/historical ang theme, yung tipong orig at sa Pilipinas lang makikita?

[popoy_mo]

Mahusay talaga, ituloy mo lang yan SCUD.
Ganun talaga kapag walang direct background sa pinagsasabi nila, walang ibang source kundi google, wiki, at upd website at lalong mahirap kung hindi naman engineer o archi at pilit na ibinibida ang sarili nila.

Lubha palang napakalayo na nang agwat nang kalidad ng tomasinong archi kumpara duon sa second best. Kapag labas ng university, lima siguro sa sampung pinakamagaling ay tomasino yung lima hati hati na ang mapua at yung others.

Architect FRANCISCO "BOBBY" MAÑOSA
University of Santo Tomas

As the founder of Francisco Mañosa & Partners, Architect Mañosa sets the philosophy and direction of the firm. Having been described as "The most outspoken champion of Indigenous Filipino Architecture" (Mimar, 28, June, 1998), Mr. Mañosa has championed the cause of "Philippine Architecture for Filipinos," bringing local architecture to new heights, both nationally and internationally.

In his practice, Bobby explores the use of indigenous materials infused with current technological trends to being a new dimension to design. He experiments with traditional forms and transforms them to meet both functional and aesthetic requirements of the project. As a professional, the Philippine Regulatory Commission has singled out Bobby for his adherence to the profession's code of ethics and his contributions to architecture in the Philippines.

Bobby was cited by Asia Week Magazine as one of the seven visionary architects in Asia, an important testament to his growing international reputation as manifested by projects in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Australia and the U.S.A.

Aside from managing the firm, Bobby is also active in the lecture circuit. He has delivered numerous lectures and papers in the top Universities in the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia.

Nung una sabi ng mga upesta dito bakit daw nagpopost ng mga kung anu-anong building, 'di naman daw batayan 'yan na magaling ang arkitekto at ang eskuwelahang pinanggalingan nito.

Ngayon naman ang palusot na naman nila eh hindi naman daw best architecture graduates ang pinag-uusapan kundi best architecture school kaya huwag daw ilihis ang usapan.

Anong klaseng utak ba ang mayroon sa mga upestang ito at kung anu-ano na pinapalutang nilang isyu at palusot ha?

Katulad ng nabanggit ng karamihan dito, Architecture in the Royal and Pontifical University of Santo Tomas is still the best architecture school in the country. Nothing else comes close.

Naku mga tomasino, huwag ninyong ibaba ang sarili nyo diyan sa second best archi school. Ituloy nyo lang ang pag post ng mga obra maestra ng mga tanyag, pinakamahusay at respetadong tomasinong arkitekto.

Isa lang ang naputanayan dito, yung may ganitong sign '>' kapag labas sa totoong mundo ay ganito pala '<' ambon nalang ang napupuntang proyekto sa kanila. Dahil siguro sa tradisyon ng kalidad at nangungunang archi school ng UST at syempre ang respeto na ibinibigay ng mga mamumuhunan sa mga tinintingalang tomasinong arkitekto.

Kapag hindi alam ang pinagsasabi at ubos na ang cut & paste source sa internet..ayun, wala nang maipakita. Ganun talaga, kapag second best gustong maki-level sa #1 Archi school ng bansa ang UST College of Architecture.

Green architecture by a Thomasian architect

CITY SENSE
The Philippine Star


A Thomasian architect, known for his eco-friendly stance in architecture, has opened an exhibit about how to go green and sustainable in construction, design and real estate development.

Over by the bay, an intriguing construction and real estate trade show opened last Thursday. ManilaCon 08 welcomed visitors at the SMX beside the Mall of Asia. A key theme of the show is green architecture and sustainable construction. To highlight this, organizers built a model house on the grounds beside the convention hall complex.

Called the LuzViMinda Eco House 2008, the structure is based on the United Kingdom Code of Sustainable Homes. This was adopted for the Philippine setting by ModernA, a group of young and idealistic architects — all members of the United Architects of the Philippines organized by architect James G. Jao.

Jao has a BS Architecture degree from the University of Santo Tomas and a Master of Science in City Design and Social Science from the London School of Economics and Political Science. The design of the Eco House reflects ModernA’s and L.A. Ducut and Company, Inc.’s (the convention organizer) advocacy for green and sustainable building. Construction of the mockup started only last August 26 and was completed right before the opening two days ago. After the event, three Eco Houses will be built, one each in Bicol, Cebu and Davao.

ModernA’s young architects have a primary objective in establishing public advocacy initiatives with the aim of fostering professional development in enhancing the built environment. They envision the Eco House as a “catalyst for improving the overall being and quality of life of every Filipino through a sustainable built environment.”

The Eco House is meant as a real house for real sites and it has already been ordered by a real client, Edith Gapas-Dome, whom Jao met years ago while still a student at the UST. She was a director for the local organization Damayan-Buluseno Inc. then but has since moved to Melbourne. She recently commissioned this house to be built in her hometown in Sorsogon because of its objectives.

She said, “I love the idea of this eco-house, or green house, as you call it, making use of natural energy. After all we are in the tropics where sunshine is all year round and even on rainy days still we could see the sun and the temperature is 30 degrees on average.” Gapas-Dome has flown back to Manila especially for the opening of the show and the house.

The LuzViMinda Eco House is composed of prefab modular concrete panels combined with polystyrene. These will provide good insulation to minimize heat gain. The exterior walls will be coated with protective Wallguard and the interior walls sealed with anti-bacterial paint.

In addition there will be specially coated roofing with solar heaters for water, dual-flush toilets and a tank to collect rainwater. There is also a vertical garden wall installation to show how greening can be achieved in cramped spaces.

does it make any sense?

actually it does. lalo na kung sa konteksto ng (contemporary) philippine architecture. UST produced (and will continue to produce) the most influential architects of the country. kahit ang UP naimpluwensyahan nila;)

[chapter pro]

while "googleing" my name sa net, I came across this forum and I think its nice to see a lot of competitive spirit out here. (Go back to page 38, I'm one of the 4 rank 1 from jan 2005-2009.hehe)

so here's my take on this topic...

College degree... > UST
Master's degree...> UP

Im a proud thomasian Alumni pero given the chance to pursue master or doctorate degree, i'll probably take it in UP. No, it's not about which school is better but more because of the flexibility of the schedule, or so i think. Most of the people i know, prefers UP's graduate program over that of UST.

So why UST you might ask? Well, for me, it all boiled down to population. Yup, you heard me right. POPULATION. Bigger population means better competition, more alumni.. better job opportunities(Our principal is also an alumnus of UST). You'd really have to give your damn best for you to be noticed in the college. From what I know of the college's history, wala pang nakapag summa cumlaude from UST, not even the likes of Manosa, Locsin, Palafox, Recio, Casas, Tolentino, etc.

While UST consistently sends roughly 200 examinees every boards, UP is contented is sending 20-30 quality students to take the ALE. In fact, during our time, all first timers from UP passed the ALE. So you can say that UST will probably never really overtake UP in terms of passing rate, atleast not in the near future, (kasi siguro nasala na sila) But what the heck, mas madami pa din kami(UST) i thought to myself. =)

Please don't forget to attend the UAP National Convention tom and make sure to cast your vote on Friday.

May kwento ako tungkol sa school mo na hindi mahulaan ni Ate Vi :)

Alam mo ba kung sino ang Arkitekto ng school mo? :)

[SCUD.]

Architect Carlos A. Santos-Viola

HHindi kasinsikat ng iba pang Tomasinong Arkitekto pero ang mga Proyekto niya ay kalat sa buong Pilipinas. Siya ang nagdisenyo ng karamihan sa kapilya ng INC. Nagturo siya sa UST ng mahigit 30 yrs, isa siya sa mga naunang graduates ng UST-Department of Architecture, ilan sa mga naging Propesor niya sa UST ay mga batikang arkitekto nung panahon na yun..

Tomas Arguelles - Architect at gaya kong Surveyor :D
Tomas Mapua - First registered Filipino architect at Founder ng M.I.T.
Juan Nakpil - National Artist at kanyang naging bayaw.
Fernando Ocampo - Architect at gaya kong Civil Engineer at Founder ng UST - College of Architecture
Andres Luna de San Pedro - anak ni Juan Luna

Ang Lourdes Scool of Mandaluyong ay isa sa mga proyekto ng Tomasinong Arkitekto Carlos A. Santos-Viola

I absolutely disagree with what you said. A school with a huge student population does not necessarily mean that is it is a better compared to a school with a lesser student population.

UP has 40 to 60 grads who take the ALE (Jan and June) every year.
Di pa kasama yung mga UP grads who take the Landscape Architect board exam.

Si Daniel Terence Yu pala na siyang Chief Executive Architect ng pamosong G&W ay sa UST din nagtapos ng Arkitektura noh? 35 lang 'ata siya.

Akchweli, mas gusto ko nga na nagreresearch ka at hinahanapan ako ng mali para naman maverify ang pinagsasabi ko. Tutal naman eh magaling ka sa research. :D

Huwag kang mag-alala, hindi ko ipagpipilitan kung may mali ako na dapat itama. Wala sakin yan.


O sige, ulitin ko ha...para sa mga nakakabasa, si Virginia Ty- Navarro ay hindi pa National Artist. :)

Mr. fortherecord, i'm confused.. anong pagkakaiba ng sinabi kong "20 to 30 take the ALE" sa sinabi mong "40 to 60(jan and june) every year"? Do the math... 20-30 multiply it by two(coz there's 2 ale in a year) then you get 40-60, right? That's basic math unless you have a different process of multiplication at UP.

Point taken, a school with a huge population doesn't necessarily equate to a better school, but duh? Neither does a school with a smaller population. And please don't even give me the crap that kaya konti ang UP because you only take quality students. Just think of it this way, ever wonder why mas marami ang population ng UST? It's because highschool students, young as they are, already know that in Archi, UST rules over UP. UST can accommodate a bigger population because they have the better facilities.

ate, hindi po ba taga mapua si W.V. Coscolluela?

nabasa ko lang dun sa previous post na 'to:
BCI Asia 2008 Top 10 Architectural Firms in the Philippines

AIDEA Philippines INC. Principal: Abelardo Tolentino (UST)
Albert S. Yu and Associates (UST)
G and W Architects (FEU)
GF and Partners Founder:Gabriel Formoso (UST)
Palafox Associates (UST)
Pimentel, Rodriguez, Simbulan and Partners (UST)
R. Villarosa Architects (Mapua)
Recio + Casas Architects (UST)
Robert Carag Ong and Associates (UST)
WV Coscolluella and Associates (Mapua)

Aba'y may napansin lang ako sa listahan ng BCI Asia 2008, kumpara sa 2006 at 2007 eh hindi na kasama ang isa pang Tomasinong Arkitekto na The Outstanding Thomasian Alumni (TOTAL - 2007) Awardee at PRC Outstanding Professional Architect Jose Siao Ling

Ate Vi, ilang SM City ba sa buong Pilipinas ang gawa ni Arch. Jose Siao Ling?

[bluesilver]

napapainit ang usapan.magaling na architecture school? edi University of Santo Tomas - College of Architecture. magagaling mga Tomasinong Arkitekto.*okay* *clap* *clap*

[taurus90210]

Kahit yung unang dean ng UPCA, graduate sa UST CAFA!:bop:

E syempre, unang dean nga e... e di expected dun sa matandang school nanggaling... o kung saan mang matandang school.\

anu-ano ba ang trabaho ng architect aside from designing structures and teaching?

[KuyaDanny]

I know some architects who sell construction and/or interior decoration materials.
