Athletics Stadium in New Clark City global accolade at the World Architectural Festival
Proving once again that Filipino talents are capable of constructing world-class facilities, the Athletics Stadium in New Clark City, Tarlac has received the Highly Commended recognition from the World Architecture Festival.
Atty. Aristotle Batuhan, officer-in-charge of the #BCDA Office of the President and CEO, congratulated the state firm’s architectural consultant BUDJI + ROYAL Architecture+Design, development partner MTD Philippines Inc., and the hundreds of Filipino workers who worked tirelessly to construct the stadium.
“This recognition from internationally acclaimed jurors of the most prestigious architectural festival is affirmation that New Clark City’s Athletics Stadium is not only a state-of-the art sports facility, but a work of art.
The modern sustainable design, natural surroundings and inspiration from Central Luzon’s heritage all came together in constructing a stadium that is truly unique, and truly Filipino.
We at the BCDA congratulate the team behind the Athletics Stadium for successfully building a stadium that we Filipinos can proudly show off to the world,” Batuhan said.
The New Clark City Athletics Stadium was among the nine Filipino projects shortlisted to compete in 11 categories of the prestigious festival.
It was shortlisted earlier in the Completed Buildings – Sport Category and was in the running for the Engineering Prize.
BUDJI+ROYAL Architecture+Design presented the project to an international panel of judges online last October, and again in November as part of the judging process for the two categories. (The BCDA Group)
