DLSU-D Architecture Students Take the Floor at SPECTRUM 2026 Exhibit

Eighteen De La Salle University-Dasmariñas architecture students presented their final projects to evaluators, faculty members, and visitors at SPECTRUM 2026: Architecture Through Wavelengths, a five-day exhibit that opened September 30 and closed October 5 with awards in seven categories.

Each student staffed a booth with a presentation board at the Maria Salome Llanera Building Exhibit Hall, explaining design solutions, technical details, and spatial concepts to visitors and answering questions from the panel. All 18 projects came from the architecture program's special term batch.

Ar. Rosette Allene Adame served as guest speaker at the opening program on September 30.

More than a display of academic work, the exhibit marked the culmination of years of dedication, perseverance, and creative exploration. Drawn from the behavior of light as it bends, refracts, and creates new paths, each thesis project stood as a distinct "wavelength" of architectural thought, shaped by the perspectives and design visions of the graduating students.

The exhibit closed on October 5 with final walkthroughs, a guest speaker's address, and a Grand Awarding Ceremony. Andrea Managuelod placed first in three categories.
