With the theme “Fluid Futures: Charting Architecture’s Path to a Regenerative, Resilient, and Intelligent Tomorrow,” and the call to go “Above and Beyond,” the convention brought together architects and industry leaders nationwide for insightful CPD talks and a dynamic construction expo (CONEX) showcasing the latest innovations in the built environment.

Prior to the convention, Ar. Franz G. Dimalanta, UAP, attended the Chapter Presidents’ Assembly on April 15, representing UAP–KCR in key national discussions.

KCR Delegates:

Joining the KCR delegation were fellow architects and officers from UAP District A1B, as well as Ar. Fritzy Lyn Kadatar of the UAP Baguio Chapter, a valued colleague and friend of the KCR architects—highlighting the strong spirit of camaraderie and unity across chapters.

We also extend our sincere gratitude to Boysen Paints for generously providing hotel accommodation and lunch, supporting our participation in this significant national event.
