The UP Architecture Forum

The UP Architecture Forum Advocating for Filipino Architecture since 1981 For more information on AF and our projects, visit uparkiforum.carrd.co.

The UP Architecture Forum is the longest standing student organization in the UP College of Architecture that aims to instill among its members and other people the need to pursue a truly relevant architecture for the Filipino people. Arki Forum was a significant part of the resurfacing of student organizations in the UP student movement during the Martial Law period. In August 1980, a group of st

udents from the College of Architecture came together to form the college’s first student organization now called the UP Architecture Forum. In the face of opposition from the College Administration, the first members vigilantly asserted their rights to organize in the college—later receiving official recognition in August 1981. Over 40 years later, AF members continue to be a family to one another, collectively organizing projects including:

• Arkwiz, the largest interscholastic architectural quiz bee in the Philippines,
• Bigay Kaya, a charity event held for select communities,
• Symposium, an academic forum tackling relevant architectural topics,
• Deconstruct, an annual sem-starter party,
• Tsampektib, a newsletter publication for articles, educational resources, and more about the built environment and profession,
• Lakbayan, a field trip exploring Filipino architectural sights,
• And more! Each member of AF has always had unique individual goals, but one thing is common to all of them: they believe that the UP Architecture Forum should be an organization where members and other people can collectively learn to be of service to the studentry and the Filipino people.

Let’s take a look back at MOVING FUTURES: Designing Everyday Mobility for Inclusive Cities.

The UP Architecture Forum extends its gratitude to the speakers and participants who made the symposium a space for meaningful conversations on how architecture and urban planning shape inclusive, sustainable, and resilient mobility systems, reframing transport and infrastructure as everyday experiences that define how cities are lived. 🚌🚲🌿

Thank you to everyone who took part in moving our cities forward, more equitably and thoughtfully. 🤝✨
