Warmest greetings to the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) as
you hold your 37th National Convention.
I commend UAP for adopting the visionary theme of “Reinventing
S.O.A.: Service-Oriented Architecture.” This theme encapsulates the UAP’s
forward-thinking approach to the development of Philippine architectural
profession. The chosen subthemes of vernacular architecture, enterprise
architecture, and virtual architecture demonstrate that the UAP is fully in
step with current trends in global architecture.
The adoption of these subthemes under the larger context of serviceoriented architecture highlights the integrative function of architecture
in designing structures that encompass all the factors that comprise an
enterprise. The emphasis on vernacular architecture is timely response
to the need for structures that make judicious use of our indigenous and
native materials. As climate change throws daunting challenges at our
built and natural environments, these subthemes will gain increasing
importance for Philippine architecture.
This auspicious gathering of our best and most promising architects in
a convivial ambience of mutual respect and exciting educational events will
strengthen the professional fellowship of our architects and provide them
with valuable updates on significant developments in global architecture.
I offer UAP my sincerest wishes for a successful convention.
