The Metrobank Foundation, Inc., together with Federal Land, Inc., United Architects of the Philippines (UAP), Philippine Institute of Interior Designers (PIID), BluPrint, and LifestyleAsia, is currently in search of licensed architects and interior designers, to join the 2011 Metrobank Art and Design Excellence (MADE) National Competition.
Our designers and architects make living structures and spaces livable, not only for the homeowners but also for the surrounding environment as well. The Competition advocates for sustainability in architecture and interior design, as Mr. Aniceto Sobrepeña, president of Metrobank Foundation, puts it: “As they shape within their hands the spaces that also shape people’s lives, we believe that Architects and Interior Designers are not only designers of built structures, but more importantly, designers of the nation’s future.”
Interested architects should be 25 to 50 years old and 25 to 45 years old for interior designers. Entries for the architecture competition should be a built structure of a single detached green and sustainable residence in the Philippines. The house should be completed and occupied for at least one year upon submission of entry and should not have been entered in any other competition.
On the other hand, the interior design competition carries the theme “Eco-Asian interior design.” The use of indigenous materials is a plus. Interior designers shall submit concept designs and two finalists will be chosen to execute their design concept at The Oriental Place by Federal Land.
