My thesis defense!

As part of our requirement for graduation, we need to undergo into a two-term thesis where in the first term is dedicated to research and data gathering and second is for design production. Each student is given a choice to choose from Design, Planning, Theory, Building Technology, Laws and History as their field for the thesis. 

   For my thesis, I opt to go about planning and design because it interests me a lot and I decided to create a Community Architecture on one of the urban poor communities in Metro Manila. A total of 8 months was spent on info gathering, planning, designing, consultations and weekly crying (haha!!) but with the help of my thesis adviser, Ar. Mia Quimpo with her constantly advising me on my every step, I was able to defend my thesis last August 29, 2014! 

Defense Mode!

Overjoyed! I was endorsed by my thesis adviser for graduation!

My Audience, thanks guys for your support!

Me with my Panel of jurors

  I had a fair share of praises and criticism, but it is what the thesis is for! There is always room for improvement. Most of their questions tackle more on housing density, which I was able to defend.

   Below are my sample renders for my thesis

I would like to thank A+A renders for my stills, Debby Vivo (www.debbyvivo.com) and my classmate Angelo Blay for helping me with post production
