At its core, architecture has always been about the human experience. While this fundamental purpose can sometimes be overlooked amid the complexities of modern life, a renewed focus on human-first principles is taking hold.

This deliberate approach is articulated in the philosophy of Life-Centric Architecture, a mandate championed and put into practice by Terence Yu , President and CEO of globally-ranked architecture firm, Visionarch.

Ortigas Land’s Olin Tower at Jade Drive has started construction. This 52-storey residential development features shared offices, a function hall, and a curated suite of lifestyle amenities designed for seamless transitions between work and recreation. Located on a prime location within the Ortigas CBD, the Olin at Jade Drive is just a block away from the future Ortigas North subway station.

We are happy to share that the Philippine Institute of Architects (PIA) has elevated Visionarch patriarch and co-founder, Arch. Gilbert C. Yu, to Honorary Fellow. Arch. Yu started his practice in 1970 as Gilbert C. Yu & Willie C. Yu Architects and Associates, which later became G&W Architects, the forerunner of Visionarch.

Alongside Arch. Yu, the PIA also recognized Arch. Conrad Onglao, Chair of the Professional Regulation Commission Board of Architecture, Arch. Alvin Vega as an Adolfo Benavidez awardee, and Arch. Jun Palafox.

That’s a wrap for Worldbex 2025! It was amazing to see such a diverse crowd—students, professionals, and even kids—sharing their vision for the future of our cities. Your ideas inspire us, and we can’t wait to shape better urban spaces together!
