Architecture and Design
Architecture, the art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction. The practice of architecture is employed to fulfill both practical and expressive requirements, and thus it serves both utilitarian and aesthetic ends. Although these two ends may be distinguished, they cannot be separated, and the relative weight given to each can vary widely.

Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE)
BERDE Program was established by the Philippine Green Building Council (PHILGBC) as an appropriate response to the Philippine building industry's need to proactively address the negative impacts of climate change. The program was established to develop the Philippines' own national voluntary green building rating system to facilitate green building projects in the country, inspire confidence in the industry, and build trust in the industry.
The BERDE Green Building Rating System is developed under the BERDE Program. BERDE is a tool to assess, measure, monitor, and certify the performance of green building projects above and beyond existing national and local building and environmental laws, regulations, and mandatory standards.
BERDE is recognized by the Philippine government, through the Department of Energy (DOE), as the National Voluntary Green Building Rating System.
