District A-4 Represented by the UAP Diliman Chapter at District A-3’s “Balangkasan”

The National Architecture Week was filled with activities that the different Districts of UAP organized. Seminars, various Ceremonies, Exhibits, and other events made up the week-long celebration. One of them was UAP District A-3’s “Balangkasan”, with the topic, “Ecologically Responsive Design Equates to Healthy Environment”, which was held at the Teatro Arkitekto, UAP Headquarters, Sct. Rallos, Quezon City, on December 9, 2010. This was open to the public, and UAP District A-4 was represented by the Diliman Chapter’s Officers, with Arch. Malu Gutierrez, Diliman Member and Chairman of UAP’s “Balangkasan” Committee, as Moderator, and one of the “Reactors”. The Speakers, who gave presentations on Green Building and Sustainability, were Arch. Liza M. Crespo, uap, AIA, LEED AP, Engr. Jaime T. Dungo, ECE, and Arch. Miguel C. Guerrero, fuap, APEC Architect, assoc. AIA. An Open Forum and Discussion followed shortly. The Healthy exchange between the Speakers, Reactors, and Audience members led to a resolution that awareness and full understanding of “Green” Principles would pave the way to the success of Green Building and Sustainability. Hopefully, the Representatives of the local Government would be pro-active as they’ve pledged.
