As UP Design Core culminates this year’s DC Month, Acad Session 18: Beyond the Line, We Go! successfully set sail last April 25, 2026! 💜✨

Everyone who joined was immersed in real-world design experiences—exploring firms, studios, and showrooms that brought ideas beyond the drawing board and into reality.

A heartfelt thank you to our partner showrooms for welcoming us and sharing your spaces and insights with us! 💗

Thank you to everyone who joined us on this journey—may this continue to inspire you to go beyond the line in your design pursuits. ✨

This May 01, UP Design Core celebrates and stands in solidarity with our Filipino workers, honoring the immense grit and perseverance that define the very heart of our nation. While we take this day to recognize the contributions of those who build our cities, harvest our food, and drive our economy, we must acknowledge that true celebration is impossible without addressing the systemic burdens they carry.

It is a time to continue to stand firm and struggle for the dignity that every Filipino worker deserves, to demand an end to the corruption that bleeds our public funds dry and to call for immediate action against the relentless, soaring prices of basic goods that continue to outpace stagnant wages. We must remain steadfast in our commitment to advocate for the fundamental rights of every Filipino worker, ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of progress.

Patuloy na tumindig at makibaka para sa dangal ng bawat Manggagawang Pilipino. Higit sa pagpupugay, makiisa sa panawagan para sa tunay na pagbabago. Maligayang Araw ng mga Manggagawa! ✊

Today, we celebrate National Design Day to honor the beauty, purpose, and creativity that design brings into our everyday lives. This day reminds us that every space has the power to inspire, comfort, and reflect the people who live within it. Design is more than arranging furniture or choosing colors, it is about creating environments that improve lives, tell stories, and bring visions to life.

On this special day, we recognize the importance of interior design in shaping homes, workplaces, and communities. Through creativity and passion, we turn spaces into meaningful ones that us filled with warmth and function. Happy International Design Day to all who continue to create spaces that make life more beautiful and purposeful ✨

Swatch it called?

From swatch to structure, where culture is embedded in every piece🌟

Ever wondered what "suleras", "asintahin na 'yan", etc. is for? Well, here's a few samples of how these vernacular design terms are used through materials, forms, and spatial elements. 🍃

Get a feel on how you can use and understand them as part of everyday design language 📐🧱
