About the Studio Laboratories
The fulfilment of the UPCA’s vision is anchored on a studio laboratory-driven organizational structure where programs and projects are conceived and implemented under the leadership of senior faculty in key disciplines within architecture and landscape architecture education. Each of the UPCA’s seven studio laboratories have virtual and physical dimensions that enable teaching-research-extension integration in the 2 undergraduate and 5 graduate academic programs. The UPCA’s newly instituted Integrated Graduate Program was designed to operationalize 5 of the 7 studio laboratories through the research themes catering to knowledge generation and institutional linkages in the fields of Environmental Landscapes, Urban Design, History, Theory and Criticism, Building Science and Tropical Design. The undergraduate programs include the two other disciplines, Architectural Communication and Practice and Governance. All 7 studio laboratories hone interests in the different fields of practice that find expression in architecture and landscape architecture design products and processes.

The SLs will provide the environment through which teaching, research and extension in specialized fields can build up to produce graduates that can make diverse contributions to the spatial dimensions of environment-related issues.
Faculty members are organized into studio laboratories based on their specialization defined by academic background, research profile and professional experience. SL membership determines the courses that the faculty will dominantly teach,
