Uap District B3

Ar. Ferdinand Isidro de la Paz Past President, CBD Chapter/B3 Deputy District Director

In celebration of the National Architecture Week as mandated by the Presidential Proclamation 934 issued on November 18, 1971, panaNAW 2021 was organized, mounted, and curated as an online exhibit to showcase various ‘perspectives’ of architecture created by architects belonging to the 14 chapters of UAP District B3 over the past 5 decades.

From December 6 (Monday) to December 12 (Sunday) 2021, the virtual exhibition featured selected projects across various social media platforms as thematically categorized into design typologies per day. Day 01 showcased works on Residential Architecture found in local and global locations as designed by UAP B3 architects. The succeeding days featured Commercial Architecture, Hospitality Design, and Institutional Architecture for the Education, Healthcare, and Government sectors. Fittingly, the last day of the exhibition showcased works on Religious Architecture.
