JOSE THOMAS BELDIA, fuap
He graduated from the University of Santo Tomas in 1973 and
became a member of the United Architects of The Philippines in
the same year. He was then elevated to the College of Fellows
in 1999. During the early years of his career, he focused
mainly on developing innovations in building systems, allowing
his structures to be more cost-efficient without sacrificing
quality and aesthetics. Later on, he shifted his attention
to one of the most evident environmental concerns in our
world today: global warming. Since then, he has dedicated
many years of his professional practice
towards researching and developing new
design solutions which are geared towards
creating structures that are “truly green”,
and will help alleviate the effects of global
warming in the world. Some of his design
solutions have already been successfully
implemented in his recently completed
projects, while others are being tested out
in ongoing projects
His numerous achievements continue to inspire him
to give back to society thru dedicated service to UAP,
Red Cross, the Church, and other civic organizations.
