ONE OF ASIA'S most anticipated gatherings of architectural brilliance and construction innovation took place on Sept. 26, when the Hubexo Asia Awards Philippines was held at the Bonifacio Ballroom at Shangri-La The Fort in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

Celebrating the 20th year of the annual event, this year's awards program recognized design excellence within the past year as well as architects and developers who have excelled in the last two decades.

The Hubexo Asia Awards are held yearly on seven key Asian markets: Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Each year, the program brings together Asia's top building professionals, architects, developers, manufacturers, and service providers in a series of by-invitation-only ceremonies.

As per tradition, the Philippine edition of the awards was the final stop of the season, following celebrations in Ho Chi Minh City (June 13), Hong Kong (June 6), Singapore (July 11), Kuala Lumpur (Aug. 1), Jakarta (Aug. 15), and Bangkok (Sept. 10). The Manila event concluded this year's cycle by honoring some of the most promising firms and long-established leaders of the industry.

The Hubexo Asia Awards has built its reputation as one of the most coveted honors in architecture and construction since 2005 under the name BCI Asia Awards. For 20 years, the program has been a platform that shines the limelight on architectural ingenuity and developer achievement, along with their projects that shape skylines and advance social and environmental progress across Asia.
