United Architects of the Philippines
40th National Convention
9-12 April 2014
16
SMX Convention Center
Metro Manila
Warmest greetings to All!!!
Unity was truly the rationale of what and where we are now.
This is what our leaders had envisioned of the organization
– to be “ONE” Filipino Architects. The theme – O.N.E. – is
indeed timely as it comes amidst threat in the practice posed
by competitors in the industry – to undermine the role and
importance of Architects.
We have a fresh new opportunity to foster a broader societal
culture that appreciates Architecture and values what we do as
Architects. Help tell our compelling story about the impact of
Architecture – to show the public who you and I are, what we
do and why Architects are key for helping design a better world.
This convention will also open opportunities for Filipino
Architects to enhance their outlook of the coming cross border
practice. This is the logic behind our UAP Membership working
together to make positive difference in the world.
Congratulations to the NATCON 40 organizing committee,
sponsors, guests and the National leadership for a collective hard
work that keeps the organization moving forward to its goal –
UNITY TO BE ONE – UAP FILIPINO ARCHITETCS!!! VIVA UAP!!!
