United Architects of the Philippines Warmest Greetings to all! From April 18-21, 2012, Architects will again be converging in SMX Convention Center in Pasay City for the 38th UAP Annual Convention of Architects with the theme “Architectural Pride: Landmarks, Leadership, & Legacy”. This will be a celebration of the evolution of an Architect from a passive design initiator to a more vibrant and dynamic creator of our spatial environment and the realm beyond what our mind can configure. This convergence of professionals is a manifestation of the architect’s acknowledgment of his imaginative endeavors to enrich the Philippines with his original and artistic creations to remain as the country’s legacy. It will be a meeting of minds to impart and share with each other the knowledge, expertise, wisdom and idealism that empower each Iconic Architect in their pursuit of creative dynamism in their solution of design problems. It is also an educational walk in the past to see the projects of the country’s National Artists who contributed greatly to the architectural landmarks. And more so, it is an assembly to celebrate the solidarity and fellowship of all the UAP members! Let us take pleasure in all the offerings during this Annual Convention of Architects. Let us look at all the Iconic Architecture and the Icons that created them. Let us savor the achievements the architects have reached in their untiring efforts and benevolence as leaders of the industry. Let us profound the inroads we have scaled in our goal to give our environment the blueprint for regeneration through the Green Building Initiatives. After all, we are all into this advocacy to preserve Mother Earth for our future generations. Let us all cherish, enjoy and partake of all the events during this convention! But let us also be vigilant in keeping our profession the prime one! Mabuhay ang Nagkakaisang Arkitekto ng Pilipinas! Mabuhay tayong lahat na Arkitektong Pilipino! Angelito S. Soriano, UAP National Auditor 24
