Logo/Theme Rationale.

This year's theme is "KOLABORASYON: Our Past Defines Our Future Towards Professional Excellence“ Our history significantly influences what we are capable of achieving in all our undertakings as stewards of the architectural profession. We, as Architects, need to continue to be proponents in aggressively defending the interest of our cultural heritage especially in the spectrum of Architecture.

It is important to realize that excellence derives from experiences cultivated from the past. Without our past, losing our fundamental knowledge, we will all find ourselves reverting to mediocrity. That is why history is an integral part of recognizing our potential to create and differentiate each Architect’s brilliance to inspire conservation or innovation. What we design and create today will become part of our legacy from which will prominently influence future visionaries in their own journey to achieve excellence in the profession."
