IT WAS an extra-special convention for most Cebuano architects who attended the 39th United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) National Convention in Manila last month.

UAP Sugbu Chapter president Buck Richnold Sia was one of the 20 speakers who were tasked to deliver continuing professional development lectures to close to 2,000 delegates from all over the country. The young architect, who was recently included in BluPrint Magazines 20 Outstanding Filipino Designers Under 40, talked about his firm and practice.

The convention also saw the elevation of another Cebuano architect, Nestor Liston, to the UAPs prestigious College of Fellows. Almost a hundred delegates from Cebus five UAP Chapters (Cebu, Rajah Humabon, Datu Lapu Lapu, Sugbu and Cebu-Leon Kilat) joined the different functions and of course, the fellowship parties that highlighted each convention day.

Denise Scott Brown in Las Vegas around 1966. She co-wrote the seminal book "Learning from Las Vegas."

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Editor's note: Marika Shioiri-Clark is the principal of SOSHL Studio, an international design consultancy, based in Cleveland. John Cary is the founder of PublicInterestDesign.org, a website focused on design and social change based in Brooklyn, New York.

(CNN) -- An online campaign has started to right a 22-year-old wrong committed against legendary architect Denise Scott Brown. She and Robert Venturi, her partner and husband, have designed iconic buildings together for 40 years -- yet she was excluded when Venturi was awarded the highest honor in architecture in 1991, the Pritzker Prize.

The cause has created an unusual outcry across the architecture profession. Started by two young women active in the Women In Design club at Harvard University, the Change.org campaign has generated more than 11,000 signatures, nine of whom are Pritzker winners. It's a worthy cause, and reflects the dismissive attitude toward women in architecture even today.

Architect Zaha Hadid, one of only two women who have won the Pritzer Prize, stands in front of the Riverside Museum she designed for Glasgow, Scotland.

Endowed by the Pritzker Family, the $100,000 prize has twice been awarded to pairs of architects, both times at the request of the individual to whom the award was originally intended to go. With only one exception, however, female partners have consistently been overlooked. Just last year, Chinese architect Wang Shu was honored without his partner and wife, Lu Wenyu. Only two women have won the Pritzker Prize in its 34 year history.

Since 1991, Venturi has repeatedly insisted that Scott Brown was an equal collaborator and should share the honor with him. It's not a hard case to make: Scott Brown co-wrote the highly influential book "Learning from Las Vegas" in 1972, and has been widely known and appreciated in the field.

Scott Brown described Venturi as being "as brave as you could possibly expect him to be" in his support. Still, they decided "we could not afford to pass up the Pritzker Prize for the sake of our fledgling firm." She is calling for a ceremony to recognize her contributions to the firm's work, which includes the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery in London and the Vanna Venturi house.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 03, 2013

Flynns Contracting is launching a new website to share with Chicago residents energy efficient improvements like kitchen and bathroom remodeling, plumbing services and window and door replacement.

Energy conservation saves money while sustaining the earths resources. According to the EPA, new appliances can shrink energy bills as well. Replacing an old refrigerator can reduce greenhouses gases while using 15 percent less energy. Energy efficient doors and windows can provide homeowners with significant savings on their utility bills.

Energy Star qualified windows and doors can guarantee energy bills are lowered 7-15 percent.

We offer unique thermal imaging services that can expose where a home is losing heat, says Martin Flynn, owner of Flynns Contracting LLC. Home improvement work done to reduce energy consumption, is self-financing over time and will save homeowners money in the future.

Kitchen and bathroom remodeling can improve the function, beauty and energy efficiency of a home. Flynns Contracting can help homeowners assess their needs and design a kitchen that functions for a family whether they are looking self- sufficiency, cooking and entertaining, or a kitchen that accommodates the center of family life. If a homeowner needs, new cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, backsplash, paint, updated appliances, the installation of an eat-in breakfast bar or more, Flynns Contracting can make it happen.

A utilitarian room can also be beautiful. A bathroom should not be cramped, crowded and unpleasant to a homeowner. Whether a homeowner is looking for luxury or simply a well-designed bathroom, Flynns Contracting can help, with, new vanities, mirror, cabinets, walk-in showers, tub, toilet, fixtures, tile, countertops and flooring. We like to keep our clients informed of all the progress as it happens, so they are confident they are getting exactly what they want, said Martin.

Flynns Contracting offers a wide range of plumbing services, plumbing maintenance and repair including, leak detection services, repair of clogged drains, leaky pipes and faucets, toilets, tubs, showers, dishwashers and sinks. They can replace and install any type of water heater from electric to tankless.

Windows should be high performing, meaning they last for decades with energy efficiency. They should also display integrity, meaning frame and sash (moving section of the window) surfaces can withstand repeated use without scratching or marking easily. Flynns Contracting can install, any windows for the home, bay or bow windows, storm windows, casement, sliding, double hung or single hung.

Entry doors can be a beautiful feature to compliment any home. When choosing a front door it is important to consider style, security and quality. In order to keep air from entering in, weather-stripping is essential. Also check that the door fits tightly into the frame. As a house settles over time, having an entry door with an adjustable threshold will help you to keep air and water infiltration from becoming a problem, said Martin. Flynns Contracting can install entry, French, patio and sliding doors.
