Because good design and sustainable construction are crucial, a new video series is making these complex topics more accessible to everyone. Tuki-Tuki, an initiative by the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP) Cebu Chapter, is set to bridge the gap between industry professionals and the general public through engaging and informative content.
Tuki-Tuki is inspired by the Bisaya word “tuki-on” meaning “to discuss” or “to examine.” It’s a movement toward better awareness and appreciation of sound architectural and construction practices. With a conversational and easygoing format, the series simplifies the intricacies of design and construction, making them digestible not just for architects and engineers but also homeowners, developers, and anyone interested in the field.
Every well-structured home or commercial building with a solid foundation needs meticulous planning and thoughtful design. However, many people find these topics intimidating. Tuki-Tuki aims to change that by breaking down the complexities of the industry and presenting them in an engaging and relatable way.
Each episode features industry experts who walk viewers through best practices, common pitfalls, and practical solutions relevant to Cebu’s local architectural and construction landscape. The UAP Cebu Chapter Board of Directors FY 24-25 plays a vital role in ensuring that the series maintains its professional integrity while making technical concepts approachable for a wider audience.
Viewers will get a chance to experience firsthand how great design and quality construction come together, with each 8- to 12-minute episode. Pre-recorded site visits, interviews, walkthroughs, and real-world case studies will be featured in the show, illustrating essential concepts in an easy-to-follow manner. While it provides an avenue for professionals and the general public to engage in meaningful conversations, a community of knowledge is built for individuals to make informed decisions when designing their own spaces.
