Anthology ASEAN Architecture Festival 2026: Shared Ground
Architecture of Care, Culture, and Collective Futures
October 2–4, 2026 · Intramuros, Manila, Philippines

The annual celebration of architectural excellence returns once again with the 15th National Architecture Symposium: Echoing Brilliance, organized by the Architecture Network (ARCHINET) as a celebration of its 20 years of legacy and distinction. This convergence of insight, knowledge, and discussions of more than 600 forward-thinkers will be held on May 2, 2026 at the Buenaventura Garcia Paredes O.P. Building in the campus of the University of Santo Tomas, Manila.

For the past 5 years, Anthology Festival has delved into themes that revolve around current events in the hopes of furthering the practice of Architecture and its involvement in making the city a better place for all. This year, the 6th Anthology Architecture and Design Festival is transformed into a 3-day virtual event that will reach an even wider public with free online accessibility. It is centered around the theme, “Our City”, that shines a light on the continuous transformation of architectural necessities that make our cities. It seeks to break down the shapes of our past cities to inform the adapting city of today.

Anthology Architecture and Design Festival began in 2016 with over 2000 guests and 65 leading built environment practitioners from seven countries. Since then, the three-day forum about architecture and design has been consistently growing in participants, speakers, lectures and panel discussions. Heading into its fifth year, the Anthology Architecture and Design Festival is a platform that seeks to launch an inquiry into the basis of architecture and how it is adapting to our changing world.
