ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO

Picture
Future directions are based on a framework that intends to produce graduates that are adequately prepared to proceed to varied fields of practice. The first three years of the BS Architecture degree, comprising of six Architectural Design courses, are geared at basic knowledge that will enable students to appreciate the total realm of architecture. The fourth year delves into design projects which display creative and technical knowledge and skills commensurate to the level. In the fifth year, design theses are presented and critiqued, capping off the architecture program.  To see more of UPCA's students works, click on the link:  http://archstudio.upd.edu.ph/

HISTORY, THEORY & CRITICISM STUDIO LAB

Picture
The History, Theory, and Criticism Studio Laboratory, or HTC, is a UP College of Architecture Studio Laboratory for the advancement of Philippine architectural theory, history, and architectural appreciation. Architectural history, being initially a critical look at architecture from a chronological point of view, would then lead to a critical look at the artistic, psychological, and philosophical theory behind the creation of space and basic shelter imperatives. In so doing, architectural theory would foster further research into breaking architectural and colonial stereotypes to include also cultural and climatic factors in the creation of architectural space as well.

FACULTY: Dr. Gerard Rey Lico (Head)

BUILDING SCIENCE STUDIO LAB

Picture
The Building Science Studio Laboratory is comprised of three clusters of courses: Architectural Structures, Building Construction and Utilities. All of these courses shall be carried out on the premise that these specialized fields of concern must be integrated into the design process. Instead of being factored in after the building form has  been thought out, these components may be considered as potential form-givers. An industrializing nation calls for an architectural curriculum with a strong science orientation. The building science courses are geared at developing cost-effective, energy-efficient and, thus, market-responsive building systems.
