National Architecture Week 2010

December of every year, Architects all over the Philippines celebrate the National Architecture Week (NAW). This year, NAW on its 39th year, will be celebrated from December 5 through December 11, 2010 with the theme, “POP ARCH: REINVENTING ARCHITECTURE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION”. The year’s theme came to be in recognition of how the profession is evolving through time, how architects reinvent and diversify, and sought related avenues to express their creativity and dynamism without completely deviating from the profession. Thus the term, “Popular Architecture” or simply, “Pop Arch”.
