Scholarship and internship await all the winners.
Architecture in the time of the pandemic
As the pandemic hit the country, our general healthcare system was greatly affected. And so, ArchiNEXT theme last year was Lingap: General Hospital and Extended Emergency Facility.
Participants were tasked to envision a sustainable and relevant structure that would benefit the rural communities in the time of the pandemic.
Formosa: A Proposed Hospital and Extended Emergency Facility—designed by Yvonne Joy Salamero and Adrian Jerome Pajarillo of Bicol University—bagged the top prize. It bested 78 qualified entries.
