A Historic First: Uniting Future and Present Architects of UAP Qatar

Our deepest gratitude goes to everyone who made this milestone event truly meaningful and historic for UAP Qatar. 🙏 What we accomplished together was more than just a gathering—it was a powerful testament to unity, mentorship, and shared purpose within our architectural community.

We sincerely thank the CSSW students of Philippine School Doha aspiring to take up Architecture, the SPLE Board of Architecture Examination aspirants, and our fellow architect-members actively practicing in the field for their enthusiastic participation and unwavering support. Your presence represented every stage of the architectural journey—from dreamers and future builders to licensed professionals shaping our built environment.

Our heartfelt appreciation goes to our Resource Speaker, Ar. Maria Michaela A. Pasiona, and our dedicated Co-Facilitators Ar. Abdul-Aziz U. Abdurajak, Ar. Arnold B. Belir, and Ar. Mark Philip C. Benin for generously sharing their expertise, guidance, and inspiration. Your commitment to mentorship and knowledge-sharing empowered our participants and strengthened the foundation of our profession within the chapter.

We also extend our sincere thanks to our valued guests: Mr. Asaad Asaad of IDS Sketches Design & Fit-Out and Mr. Adam Abdi Abuzuhri of Sheikh Abdulla Bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Islamic Cultural Center for your support and meaningful presence.

For the first time, we successfully brought together students, board examinees, and practicing architects in one unified activity—completing a full-circle journey of learning, collaboration, and mentorship. This remarkable convergence truly marks a first and worthy milestone event for our chapter, one that will inspire many more initiatives in the years to come.

Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat!
