MArch Student’s Research on Philippine Architecture Earns ARCC Best Student Paper Award and Presentation at ACSA Conference
Master of Architecture student Vince Gamboa Tameta presented his award-winning thesis research on Philippine architecture at two international conferences (ACSA and ARCC), exploring how architecture reflects the evolution of Filipino identity through cultural practices and fiesta spaces. His work, which began as a study of his father’s hometown in Lubang Island, challenges narrow definitions of Philippine architecture by examining its hybridity across colonial and modern periods. Vince aims to amplify Filipino narratives in architectural discourse and hopes to expand this research in academia or practice, inspired by the enthusiastic reception at both conferences.
