What to expect from Anthology ASEAN Architectute Festival 2026

Anthology ASEAN Architectural Festival 2026 is set to bring Southeast Asia’s architectural voices together this October in Manila.

Ahead of the festival, Anthology 2026 held a media briefing at the Kuysen Design and Experience Center in Makati, where Festival Curator and Founder William Ti Jr. introduced this year’s theme, “Shared Ground: Architecture of Care, Culture, and Collective Futures.”

The briefing also featured architects Benjee Mendoza, Jose Pedro “Bong” Recio, AJ Javier, and Rebecca Plaza Ti, who shared perspectives on how architecture can respond to culture, communities, and the future.

The festival will take place on October 2–4, 2026, at Intramuros, Manila, featuring conversations, keynote sessions, regional voices, and installations centered on the shared spaces and experiences that connect Southeast Asia.
