Barchan Architecture’s B+Abble continues for 2025 with the theme “Micro-Locale,” exploring how small, localized interactions and environments can create deeply personal, unique, authentic, and immersive experiences
Keynote speeches by Filipino artist Ronald Ventura and WTA Design Studio founder architect William Ti Jr. will serve as the main talks for this event.

The second main speaker for this year’s B+Abble event is William Ti Jr., the principal architect and founder of WTA Architecture and Design Studio. He is the founder and director of Anthology Festival, Shelter Magazine, and The Book Stop Project, and writes the City of Tomorrow column for the Philippine Daily Inquirer. He is also an adjunct professor at Taylor’s University, Malaysia.
William is a strong advocate of social architecture that promotes architecture that builds communities. Projects of note developed by WTA include The Book Stop Project in Intramuros, Manila; the 419-hectare Horizon Manila; the open source Emergency Quarantine Facilities throughout the Philippines; and the Riverlane, the Pasig River’s first pedestrian bridge. He is currently working on developing new ideas about the Human Environment in various urban planning projects, engaging stakeholders and demystifying the design process through WTA Labs.
