The UAPSA Mapúa Summit 2025 is bringing together industry professionals, architecture and construction firms, local companies, and students for a convention of ideas, innovation, and collaboration! Following the theme of “Threads of Tomorrow: Weaving Visions into Design”, the UAPSA Summit aims to bring together the passion of architecture and inspire the forward-thinking spirit of aspiring architects. It will serve as a platform for knowledge-sharing, creativity, discussions, and networking.
Companies from various sectors, SOAR Design Co., Pocari Sweat, Visionarch, Crown Pipes, and PINO Studio, will be speaking about their expertise and success stories during the Company Talks segment. Following this, the program will transition into a sit-down coffee table session featuring distinguished architects from across the country, including Ar. Angelo Mañosa, Ar. Rocksty James Kurt M. Bacungan, Ar. Justine Amor C. Garcia, IDr. Rhia Flordeliza De Guzman, Ar. Zhardei Naranjo, Ar. Delano M. Marzo, Ar. IDr. Ma Angelica “Minette” R. Fajardo, IDr. Wilhelmina Garcia, Ar. Nicholai David Go, and Ar. Haruki Takashima.
Accompanying the panel talks will be a series of booths hosted by local firms and businesses, providing opportunities for networking and showcasing their products and services. These spaces serve as an opportunity for engagement, where the Mapúan community and guests can discover new brands and network with leaders in the field. The UAPSA Mapúa Summit will also feature a public exhibition of architecture student works from their Design and Thesis classes.
Adding to the experience, the summit will also host an outreach painting activity for UAPSA Mapúa’s Book Nook Initiative, “Kwentong Kanto”, which aims to create a public reading space in Intramuros, Manila. Illustrated panels designed by the organization’s officers will be set up for guests to paint, fostering community engagement and collaboration among the summit attendees.
