THE FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHT

Anthology Talks, the festival highlight, is a series of lectures by a diverse selection of architects and allied design professionals with different specializations. The lectures will revolve on the festival theme in relation to each speaker’s expertise and preferred subject. Each lecture will run for 60 minutes followed by a 30-minute question and answer forum. The lectures will be running each day across two stages.

Architecture must go beyond just building structures and finding spaces for everyone. But rather, we have to adapt a social aspect in everything that we do.

WILLIAM TI, JR.

In architecture, its not all about design and beauty and graphics and all that; its also about relating to our Mother Earth. 

RICARDO BOFILL

It is time that we equate luxury and sustainability.
