Beautiful builder

The founder and managing director of Plaza+Partners Inc. architectural firm, 28-year-old Rebecca is inspired by her surroundings — whether through traveling, meeting new people or just by looking out her office window with an unobstructed view of the National Library in Manila.

Being exposed to many different points of inspiration brings out Rebecca’s innate love for learning. One of the things she looks forward to every year is the Anthology Architecture and Design Festival, where she is the director. The festival aims to increase awareness on the role of architecture and design in urban societies. The festival, reportedly the biggest of its kind in Southeast Asia, has grown to about 7,000 attendees since it started in 2015. Read more here.
