DESIGNERS' PAGE

PONCE, CHARMAINE

Hi, I’m Charmaine Ponce, 21 years old a fourth-year architecture student who is currently completing Design 7 as part of my journey to become an Architect someday. I'm part of an architectural organization as a Director of Way and means of United Architects of the Philippines UAPSA NU. As I continue this path of career it gradually made me realize that Architecture not just a is a passion, a vocation, or a business. It takes courage to practice architecture because it will provide commodity and delight that could serve the community to build a better and livable place.

The Design Project helps me to develop my skills in conceptualizing and exchanging ideas as it set off a tremendously special endeavor for me in ways that have never previously occurred. Our group visited our site in Tutuban to learn its information and its history. With those analysis, we were able to further understand how we are going to plan and design the redevelopment of the area. I learned to be more aware of how the pieces and visuals influence the entire board using this technique. This topic helps me plan my time more effectively and perform better in oral presentations.

This project, "HABI," educates me on transit-oriented development and Sustainable Development Goals, which motivates me to design my future projects in a more sustainable manner. We have presented our solutions in this output by creating a community that offers everything. Not only beautiful in appearance but also useful. We developed a bond with the others in the group that was indescribable.
