Within every student lies a vision waiting to take form, a purpose waiting to unfold, and a story waiting to be told. Beyond every drawing, model, and design lies a journey shaped by passion, resilience, and the individuals who continue to make BUIDeA a community that creates, grows, and inspires.

𝗞𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗶𝘀, the Official Student Publication of the Bicol University Institute of Design and Architecture, presents 𝘐𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦 𝘐 𝘝𝘰𝘭. 𝘐: 𝘛𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘪𝘥, a milestone publication and the first of its kind since the release of Volume 8 of the Newsletter nearly three years ago. More than a collection of pages, this inaugural tabloid issue serves as a time capsule of the 13th Generation, preserving the stories, achievements, challenges, and moments that defined the academic year.

Within these pages lie the events that united the Arki community, the milestones that shaped the collective journey, and the memories that serve as reminders of the progress made. Every feature, photograph, and story reflects the spirit of BUIDeA and the individuals who continue to leave their mark through creativity, dedication, and excellence.

As you turn each page, revisit the moments that made another year at BUIDeA meaningful. May these stories inspire you to continue 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀, 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, and creating lasting 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 for the generations that follow.
