UAP Singapore Chapter Presents Artifice: Accolades - Bahay para sa Bayan: A Multipurpose Hall for the Aeta Community of Bataan The UAP Singapore Chapter is proud to showcase Artifice: Accolades — Bahay para sa Bayan, a heartfelt design initiative that honors architecture as a catalyst for change. This featured project — a multipurpose hall designed and built for the Aeta community of Bataan — embodies the spirit of community-centered design and inclusive development. This isn’t just about constructing a building. It’s about creating a space that uplifts lives, protects cultural heritage, and strengthens social bonds. More than a structure, Bahay para sa Bayan serves as a hub for learning, gatherings, and resilience — thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of the community it serves. It’s a reminder that true architectural excellence lies not only in form and function, but in the lasting impact it creates — one that empowers communities, respects identity, and inspires future generations. As Filipino architects working overseas, we remain connected to the roots of our profession—building with purpose, empathy, and cultural sensitivity. The United Architects of the Philippines – Singapore Chapter (UAP-SG) in collaboration with UAP Bataan Peninsulares Chapter and UAP Balanga Bataan Chapter launches this design competition as a direct response to the real needs of the Aeta community in Bataan, who seek a resilient, inclusive, and culturally relevant Multi-Purpose Hall.📌 📩 To register pls click below link: https://forms.gle/cVxdhBRqpVKpmLpV8 📂 Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DXcVsW7OcwypPJYZkAGxv8wIhbHZo976?usp=drive_link 🏆 Winning thesis entries will gain recognition and exposure through exhibitions, publications, and digital platforms, with winners officially awarded during ARTIFICE – Affirmation on 22 November 2025 at Holiday Inn Orchard Singapore.
