This Year, Architecture and Design Enthusiasts Enjoyed A Virtual Anthology Festival

This year, the 6th Anthology Architecture and Design Festival reached an even wider audience as it went virtual with free access.  In the past 5 years, the festival was held in the historic Fort Santiago in Intramuros, Manila to celebrate a range of themes such as narratives, context and intent, social architecture, impact architecture, and think architecture.  Since its inception, Anthology Design and Architecture Festival has been one of the biggest festivals of its kind in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.  

Directed by Arvin Pangilinan, Senior Manager of WTA Architecture and Design Studio, Anthology Design and Architecture Festival is a platform that seeks to launch an inquiry into the basis of architecture and how it is adapting to our changing world.  This year's theme, "Our City," took on the continuous transformation of architectural necessities that make our cities.  A series of talks and discussions explored and dissected the shapes of our past cities and how they inform the adapting city of today.  It highlighted the continuous redefinition of architecture in a city that challenges us to consider different fields in order to create a collaborative and cohesive community.

This event was hosted by WTA Architecture and Design Studio on March 19-21, 2021.  From the comfort and safety of their own homes, leaders in the fields of architecture and design from all over the world were able to share their expertise with the audience via Zoom.

Anthology Talks, Shelter Dialogues, Anthology Sessions, Scale Model Tours and Competitions were activities within the festival that made it a unique and memorable experience for its attendees.
