of joy.

3. What particular object item was discussed by the speaker, that you can relate with your
architectural practice?

- The speaker discussed about the used of flexible used of space, like making a several rooms in one
which bed can hide and so floor space can use as a lounge area and sitting area and home space. While

area. And for the hygiene safety, it suggest to have a touchless checkpoint , touchless guest room lock,
Motion activated Doors, Voice control commands, Virtual access to medical staff. And guestroom must
be flexible enough to allow people and to have a multiple activity within the same space. Limited
furniture pieces and can design elegantly but can easily maintain. Because of Covid 19 social gathering is
prohibited but it suggest the amenities can be connected but in distance in order to emphasize share
experiences. Likewise flexibility and adaptability are key considerations in designing like hotel, in amidst
of covid this can be reinvited for emergency design interventions by transforming spaces for medical
used and Isolation.

4. What new Idea/Concept/ Principle have you learned that you think will affect your professional

- Applying natural ventilation and sustainability. Because natural ventilation is a healthy and cost
effective way to save energy and provide fresh air for building occupants. It is defined as using passive
strategies to supply outdoor air to a building’s interior for ventilation and cooling without using
mechanical systems. While sustainability minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by
efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, development space and the ecosystem at
large.However, COVID-19 affects physical health most directly and has alarming implications for
emotional and social functioning . So as an Architect making a sustainable design could help by making a
healthier environment.

“Architecture is more than just beautiful forms. Architects must care the environment or as healers of
the built environment and use as little resources as possible”. Architects also need to make buildings

- The speakers is Ar. Lam Khee Poh, he talk about Revisiting Architectural Leadership.

2. Which part of the Talk had the most impact in you?why?

- Our design must consider Humanity. As human centred designers, put people at the center of our
process. Custom designing environments to the experiences in which our clients want to live. Houses are
such personal places and it is important to we begin every design with an intimate understanding of the
people we are designing for. Because designing a house is really about designing a set of experiences .
The space we design will profoundly influence our clients’ daily lives, shaping how they connect and how
they feel the seasons across the years.

3. What particular object item was discussed by the speaker, that you can relate with your

Architects need to make buildings that are friendly to the environment and more green which can be
adaptable to the surroundings, in other words, they need to create buildings that are energy efficient,
like green buildings or sustainable buildings which are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built
environment on human health and nature. So they need to take into consideration. Protecting residents’
health and improving people’s productivity and reducing waste, pollution, and environmental
degradation.

4. What new Idea/Concept/ Principle have you learned that you think will affect your professional
practice or life General?

“Adapting the sustainability concept”, as an architect, I have a major role in promoting, planning, and
building sustainable and green structures that will help lessen negative impacts on the environment and
are equally immensely beneficial to people. And aims to reduce the built environment’s greenhouse gas
emissions and fossil fuel consumption and accelerate the development of carbon-neutral, resilient, and
sustainable buildings. Another way to decrease the carbon footprint of buildings is through adaptation
and retrofitting of existing buildings. Locally and sustainably sourced, reusable, have recycled content,
and are highly durably yet have low or zero carbon. Investing in green and sustainable technologies for
structures has long-term benefits.

What we need to learn to Singapore is that we don’t let our city to be congested because the most
populated city brings the highest positive cases of covid 19. As an architects what we need to do is to try
to develop not only in metro manila but to other cities like in Iloilo, Naga city, Vigan, Cagayan and etc.
that will help lessen the population in the capital city. And so that we can now focus on adapting the
concept of sustainability. Alco Collaboration is so much further to the people we use to collaborate not
only to the Engineers, but also we got to collaborate to the Doctors, to the scientist,with the research
workers so that we can get an idea on how to solve this pandemic.
