Some of the distinguished speakers during the WORLDBEX 2018 Seminars (from L-R): Engr. Bayani Bueser, IDr. Lilia de Jesus, and Hong Kong-based Arch. Ian Milne
HOW do we innovate and push towards progress without all the damage? Seeking to address this conundrum, the Philippine World Building and Construction Exposition, or simply WORLDBEX 2018, is intent on opening up a much-needed dialogue among practitioners of the construction and design community at this year’s WORLDBEX Seminars.
Happening on March 15 to 18, from 9 AM to 5 PM at the SMX Convention Center as a key event highlight of WORLDBEX 2018, this year’s WORLDBEX Seminars aims to explore the ways in which the industry can work together in “Shaping Innovations Toward Sustainability”.
Like its previous installments, this year’s series will feature an impressive roster of guest speakers both local and foreign. On the first day, the seminars will kick off with talks on global safety issues (Engr. Bayani Bueser), sustainable casino design (Hong Kong-based Archt. Ian Milne), value of adopting the Building Information Modeling or BIM process in construction (Engr. Ernesto De Castro), and refreshing perspective on architecture (Archt. Jose Pedro “Bong” Recio).
Day 2 will see four more informative talks including a discussion on logistics in design, building, and real estate that keep up with the changing times (Archt. Cathy Saldana), how to design for citizens in their golden years (IDr. Ma. Carlota Hilvano), sustainable design in the context of tropical countries (Malaysia-based Archt. Azim Aziz); and a more inclusive and democratic approach towards interior design (IDr. Lilia de Jesus).
On the last day, speakers will discuss innovative strategies for fire suppression and maintenance (Engr. Abner Pahilanga), user-centered learning environments (Singapore-based Archt. Raymond Hoe), the value of incorporating nature in design (Archt. Susan Aquino-Ong), and the adoption of renewable energy technologies in the Philippines (Engr. Eugene Araullo).
A package deal for the WORLDBEX Seminars 2018 is priced at P7,000/3 days while the daily rate is priced at P3,000/day. Both rates are inclusive of lunch and snacks. For more information, contact Mel Mapoy at 6569239 loc. 137 or email [email protected]. /PR
