The United Architects of the Philippines (UAP), through the Professional Development Commission (PDC), proudly continues its partnership with the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM) for the 3rd consecutive year at Manila FAME 2025.

Last Thursday, the first session of Manila FAME Talks, titled “Beyond Form: Rethinking Design and Practice,” gathered brilliant minds from the fields of architecture and design. Moderated by Jed Yabut, the session featured Gerry Roda, Donn Tan, Choie Funk, and Sachi Sobredilla, who explored how design transcends aesthetics, shaping narratives, strengthening communities, and transforming the way we live.

This collaboration between UAP and CITEM continues to champion Filipino creativity, innovation, and the evolving role of architects and designers in crafting meaningful, sustainable, and people-centered spaces.
