FUTURE ARCHITECTURE – ADDENDUM
An Exhibit by the United Architects of the Philippines – Alabang Chapter
February 6, 2009
Query about the Submission of the Original High rise program:
It was requested that the original high rise design program be allowed to be displayed.
Exhibition Venue:
The exhibition venue was secured under mutually advantageous conditions, but it was requested by Alabang Town Center management that the exhibit be focused towards a smaller residential design program for the greater understanding of the mall patrons who will be the viewers.
Mechanics for submission of the high rise design program:
1)The High rise submission using the revised Alabang Town Center Lot across Theatre drive will be accepted, but this shall have to be submitted together with a residential design submission that has been announced, to satisfy venue requirements.
2)The High rise submission will follow the same design criteria, and be printed and mounted on 30 inch x 40 inch portrait format with a 2″x8″ name at the lower right. And submitted in the same announced dates.
3) The High rise submission will still undergo the prequalification review prior to exhibition.
4)There must more than one participant to pass the high rise design program for the submission to be exhibited. This is to avoid the spectacle of having a disparate, unlike entry among the boards. (So far there has been 1 to write an email.)
5)Exhibition organizers reserve the option to position the high rise submittals after the residential submission have been properly displayed.
Final notes:
The committee extends its regrets if there was confusion regarding recent announcements, we your chapter have just been trying to provide the best possible conditions for the exhibit with the least cost and maximum exposure possible, and continue to work tirelessly for you. We thank you for your continued support and energy in this exhibit and hope to see you and your entry in this great opportunity to showcase design at a well attended public venue.
