United Architects of the Philippines
Area A
Greetings!
Many associate architecture with nothing more than the design of
structures. It is often thought of as a field that relates to the aesthetic alone
of how a building, a bridge and a house will look like. But the significance of
architecture profession is so much more than appearance alone. Architecture
is one of those profession were brilliance stems out of love. It is a profession
where one strives out of his/her desire to create the greatest ambience
possible in the celebration of life. That is what architecture is all about- it is
not only about designing, but about designing for people, who just like the
architect are journeying through life.
In this year, United Architects of the Philippines 38th National Convention,
it is my hope that we would all appreciate the landmarks of our profession,
continue to stay true to our service and epitomize leadership with passion
and be guided with the legacies professional excellence. Let us all take this
opportunity of meeting our colleagues to exchange ideas and experience
the great inheritance of our organization. We are proud that we have in our
country outstanding talents who have embraced the demanding and exacting
profession of architecture.
As your National Vice President for Area A, it is my anticipation and hopes
that we would all continue to stay true to our service to the profession, forge
greater unity among professional, and transform this professional organization
into a dynamic and responsive institution and eventually to the advancement
of our being as an Architect.
Therefore, let us cherish this momentous event and celebrate life
because we deserve nothing less than the best and continue to commit
ourselves in strengthening the UAP and protecting our profession through a
strong foundation of unity and integrity.
