PAGTINDIG: The National Conference of Architects 2021

THE National Conference of Architects (NCA) is the mid-year conference of the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) held every October. When global pandemic hit the country that resulted to the historic lockdown last March 2020, UAP launched the NCA 2020: PAGBANGON, the first ever virtual conference.

Then recently last Oct. 15-16, 2021, the NCA 2021 entitled PAGTINDIG aimed to inspire, elevate the level of preparedness and further equip the architects as they face the challenges of the transition. Likewise, the conference also aimed to comprehensively feature the nobility of the architecture profession in so many facets of service including legacy in reference to 100 years of the profession. The conference's theme "Tindig Arkitekto: Matikas na Pagharap sa Hamon ng Transisyon" expressed it all; PAGTINDIG in advocacy championing the spirit of "Bayanihan among Architects" amidst the pandemic and PAGTINDIG in architecture, in response to the threats of the pandemic and to the profession.
