WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO

The Architecture Program was first introduced in the University of the Philippines in 1956 through the College of Engineering. In 1958, the architecture program was transferred or placed under the College of Fine Arts. The academic unit later became known as the School of Fine Arts and Architecture. In 1970, the College of Architecture was officially recognized as a separate academic unit, and has since pioneered the introduction of numerous other degree programs including the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture program in 1971.

Currently, CA houses academic degree-granting programs related to the built environment, with focus on architecture and landscape architecture in the undergraduate, and graduate levels. CA is also actively engaged in research and extension projects, and continues to build institutional linkages with local and international partners.

The vision captures the leadership position that the college wishes to be in and the role it wishes to assume in the definition of the living environment.  The mission statements reflect the goals for the key results areas:  Academics, Research, Extension, Administration, Facilities, Faculty and Students.
