Ong, UAP Executive Director, Commission on Conventions and Assemblies Share: Status Photo Link Video United Architects of the Philippines It is with great honor and privilege that I extend my sincerest gratitude to the delegates and allies of the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) as we celebrate the 37th National Convention of Architects at the SMX Convention Center from April 27-30, 2011. Service-Oriented Architecture is a buzzword and topic for many discussions in nearly every professional journal and conference. Opinions differ from “some technical rubbish” to “the technology of the future”. The problem about these different opinions partly depend on another problem: What precisely is S.O.A.? Whatever it is and will be, it seems to become the next step in the evolution of Philippine architecture. Therefore, UAP endeavors to be at the forefront for making ServiceOriented Architecture a successful venture. Let this Convention cement the position of UAP in the so-called “S.O.A.”, which is seen as a new type of architecture that defines the how-to of assigning interfaces in a servicing way so that these services can be used in making policies that affect building design and act as a tool to assist Architects in promoting more sustainable building practices. May this convention, therefore, impart the desired skills and competency as we look forward to more shining moments for Filipino architects as we venture into “S.O.A.” With the concerted efforts of the organization, we can confidently meet the future with dedicated, competent, ethical and socially responsible professional architects that imbibe the qualities of leadership, authority, accountability, stewardship and transparency Welcome to the 37th UAP National Convention.
