MANILA Vice President Jejomar Binay on Thursday encouraged Filipino architects to help the government in promoting urban development in the country.
Binay, also the chairman of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC), made the statement during the 3rd Annual Convention of the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) in Pasay City yesterday (April 18).
In rising to [the challenge to scatter urbanization across a wider area], the cooperation between private sector developers, the LGUs, and urban planners proves to be the road to redemption. This multi-sectoral approach should continue to be an integral component of all our policy and planning efforts, Binay said.
Let us strengthen this cooperation by joining our heads and our skills with those from other local and international organizations that profoundly understand urban development and housing in the light of modern demands, the vice president added.
The vice president also urged UAP members to make eco-friendly designs by utilizing green technology and most of all to develop housing even more affordable and sustainable.
We share common and noble desires for the nation -- to improve the lives of our countrymen and give them firm ground on which they can build the future they seek, he added.(PNA)

Norwich-based Hudson Architects has been appointed to draw up a scheme for the restoration and development of the Corn Hall in Diss and for changes to the area of the town known as the Heritage Triangle between the hall and the Market Place, which could involve creating squares up Market Hill and into St Nicholas Street.
Landscape architects The Landscape Partnership, which was responsible for Norwichs new memorial gardens, will work alongside the Hudson team on the Heritage Triangle Project.
Sheila King, project manager for the Diss Heritage Partnership, said: The Corn Hall has achieved a lot in the last three years. Its already the leading venue around, and now we are firming up our plans for its restoration.
But just as important is the heritage work. We are investigating the evolution of the old town over the centuries the industries and people that helped create the landscape we see in Diss today.
This historical research will contribute to interpretation boards, exhibitions and so on, enabling visitors to enjoy the fascinating history of the old town. We have around another 1million to raise to fully fund the project, but we are confident we can do it.
Meanwhile were convinced that weve made an excellent choice with our design team. Not only do they have they the experience and creativity we need, theyre also local people with a great affection for Diss and enthusiasm for this transformational project.
Design Engine, who are the architects of the Abercrombie extension and the new John Henry Brookes building at Oxford Brookes University have been shortlisted for theRoyal Institute of British Architects Regional Awards 2013.
Winchester-based practiceDesign Enginewon the contract for the development of a new entrance building at Oxford Brookes against steep competition. The company proposed that rather than building a new building here and a new building thereto devise a radical master plan, get demolishing, and go back to first principles. The original campus at Oxford Brookes was designed in 1955 by city architect EG Chandler. The original plans defined generous courtyards, but additions over the years have obscured this clarity and reduced the open space available.
Design Engines vision returns to the 1950s plan and re-energises it with new buildings and a new circulation sequence. Their plan slides new buildings alongside the old, interlocking them together. By increasing the density of the built forms, it is possible to provide generous public spaces; either new spaces, as with the entrance piazza, or reconfigured spaces, as with the central courtyard.
Key to the design is the new John Henry Brookes Building which will serve as the new main entrance to the campus. The building will contain a modern library, a 300-seat floating lecture theatre and a learning space dubbed the Forum. The open space will include informal touch down areas for the laptop working and group discussion that now form a key part of modern universities facilities. It will also become the new home of Student Services and Oxford Brookes Students Union.
Richard Rose Casemore, a Partner at Design Engine, is also a design tutor in the School of Architecture at Oxford Brookes University.
