Thirty-four years after the first sustainable building certification was established, international public support and awareness have increased remarkably.  The Philippine construction industry is not new to these certifications and had implemented projects that met the criteria of a certified green building.

In the local setting, five green building certifications have usually been considered by designers and allied professionals: LEED; WELL; EDGE; GREEEN; and BERDE. Recognizing the need for these certifications at the inception of a project leads to innovative design strategies, new construction process, efficient energy consumption, minimized manpower hours, decreased operational cost, and appraised property values. 

The webinar will provide an introduction to Green Building Certifications available in the Philippines focusing on its “costs” and benefits with concrete examples from the speaker’s portfolio..

With the recent Supreme Court (SC) ruling (G.R. No. 200015 and G.R. No. 205846), this has completely changed the game in the construction world. The webinar hopes to break down recent legal shifts affecting how architects work, its details and advantages to architects, further demystifying the Architecture Act of 2004 (Republic Act No. 9266) altering the traditional authority of civil engineers in planning and sealing architectural documents.

The webinar will discuss how these changes will practically affect architects, engineers, and other professionals in the industry, gaining valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of the construction ecosystem. Potential ramifications and uncertainties that may arise in response to any forthcoming motions will also be discussed, serving as a guide in understanding and adapting to such new shifts it may bring to the architectural practice.

The expertise of both professions should not be a source of conflict between them but as a starting point of cooperation and collaboration.

The webinar will discuss the history, scope, background, and law about the profession of Landscape Architecture bridging the gap between architecture and landscape architecture giving light to the invaluable role of holistic design and functionality in a project.

When the assembly (ecclesia) of the Lord’s disciples gathers to celebrate the divine mysteries, it creates a “holy space” (sanctus spatium), and there a building for worship is usually erected, provided the assembly continues to meet there. But the relationship between the community and the place where it meets is such that, with a happy ambiguity, the name of the assembly itself becomes the name of the building: Church / church.

It is necessary to examine the structure, purpose, function, and symbolism of church architecture. Liturgical architecture has its own canons based on the nature of the Church and its liturgical celebration where the theology of liturgical space is drawn from the mutual interaction between the assembled community, which gives meaning to the place of assembly, and the place itself, which upholds and signifies the community.
