This is an open stadium that is an integral part of the community. A stadium that would extend the adjacent park and connect with the university. The southern end of the stadium incorporates a sloping lawn where people could walk up or have picnics and leads to an amphitheater with a magnificent backdrop. This expression of social architecture creates a barrier free stadium that is accessible to everyone. This is both a stadium and a park, a space that does not discriminate. It is social infrastructure that helps bond the community. It is a stadium for the people.

WTA Architecture and Design Studio is an award-winning group of architects and designers based in Manila. Recognized as one of the “Top 10 Architectural firms in the Philippines,” the studio has worked on an increasingly huge number of projects in its short history as a firm. Through its 15 years of operations, the firm has passionately offered within the following typologies: residential; offices; hospitality; commercial; mixed-use; institutional; master plan; transportation; retail (network); homes; competition; and research. Through dynamic transitions and progressive evolution, the firm never ceases to put people at the center of its practice and at the core of its design philosophy. Social responsibility is embedded within WTA’s DNA. We design spaces that foster interaction, collaboration, and reflection. Our projects are born out of the philosophy that design is an iterative and exploratory process and each building rethinks how society should grow and contribute to social progress. Our studio is motivated by the potential of architecture to improve people’s lives. We thrive in dialogues and encourage the exchange of ideas to create curated concepts for our clients and our communities. Consistent with the belief that collaboration is critical for creativity, We embrace our studio’s diversity as our greatest asset. Collaboration and consistency are at our company’s core. Our teams oversee each project from beginning to end; continually working with the client to deliver innovative solutions to complex design conditions. Deconstructing assumptions and challenging preconditions, we become free to create new hybrids and contribute concrete improvements to our communities.
