IT’S officially back! The Design Excellence Award (DEA), arguably the most prestigious national award for architectural masterpieces in the Philippines, is set to be relaunched this November 2019 by the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP). The most outstanding Filipino architects of our time, from different generations, are called for a chance to define excellence in the built-landscape of the country.

Just like the SIA’s Architectural Design Awards in Singapore and the AIA Gold Medal in the United States, the DEA is UAP’s way of giving due honor to built structures exhibiting exceptional design caliber. The call for entries is open to all Filipino architects whose submitted projects shall have a golden opportunity to be awarded under one of the four categories — Residential, Commercial and Industrial, Institutional, and Complex-type Architecture, or the People’s Choice based on public voting during the online publication of all short-listed entries.
