At its core, architecture has always been about the human experience. While this fundamental purpose can sometimes be overlooked amid the complexities of modern life, a renewed focus on human-first principles is taking hold.

This deliberate approach is articulated in the philosophy of Life-Centric Architecture, a mandate championed and put into practice by Terence Yu , President and CEO of globally-ranked architecture firm, Visionarch.

We just kicked off Insights: Small Talks, Big Ideas—our new in-house design lecture series! Last month, Arch. Len Marzo, our Project Management Director, and Arch. Hannah Sevilla from the Sustainability Team led a refresher on the fundamentals of sustainable architecture. More than an add-on, sustainability must remain the default in everything we design. 🌱

Visionarch continues to support future professionals through UST and Architecture Network - Archinet. On May 2, our CEO Daniel Terence Yu spoke at the 14th National Architecture Symposium at Marquis Place, BGC, alongside renowned eco-architect Ken Yang and Jia Xin Chum of Henning Larsen. The event also gathered local practitioners, Gelo Mañosa, Gepo de Mesa, and Ronnie Yumang.

Speaking on the theme Weaving Visions, Yu shared how personal journeys can shape professional practice. Visionarch also mounted an exhibit at UST and hosted architecture students for a career talk and office tour.

Ortigas Land’s Olin Tower at Jade Drive has started construction. This 52-storey residential development features shared offices, a function hall, and a curated suite of lifestyle amenities designed for seamless transitions between work and recreation. Located on a prime location within the Ortigas CBD, the Olin at Jade Drive is just a block away from the future Ortigas North subway station.

We are happy to share that the Philippine Institute of Architects (PIA) has elevated Visionarch patriarch and co-founder, Arch. Gilbert C. Yu, to Honorary Fellow. Arch. Yu started his practice in 1970 as Gilbert C. Yu & Willie C. Yu Architects and Associates, which later became G&W Architects, the forerunner of Visionarch.

Alongside Arch. Yu, the PIA also recognized Arch. Conrad Onglao, Chair of the Professional Regulation Commission Board of Architecture, Arch. Alvin Vega as an Adolfo Benavidez awardee, and Arch. Jun Palafox.

Construction is in full swing at Primehomes Capitol Hills, a 12-tower residential development! Last March 15 was a double celebration as Primehomes topped-off the Liana, its 6th tower, and broke ground on its 7th and 8th new towers, Althea and Narra. These milestones mark significant steps towards the vision of creating a residential community amidst nature, an urban oasis in the heart of Quezon City.

That’s a wrap for Worldbex 2025! It was amazing to see such a diverse crowd—students, professionals, and even kids—sharing their vision for the future of our cities. Your ideas inspire us, and we can’t wait to shape better urban spaces together!
