One of the winners from the <a href="https://www.worldarchitecturefestival.com/live/en/page/home" target="_blank">World Architecture Festival</a> in 2021, Atelier tao+c’s projects use humble, ordinary materials, but the precise detailing always manages to elevate the mundane. Co-founder Chunyun Cai talked about their firm’s process—semi-architectural, semi-interior—and how their design method allows people to see and experience beauty in simplicity. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/don-lino-83143a16a/?originalSubdomain=ph" target="_blank">Architect Don Lino</a> of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063536155590" target="_blank">LINO Architecture</a> and artist <a href="http://leeroynew.com/" target="_blank">Leeroy New</a> also gave their unique perspectives on preserving local culture and heritage through their work, as well as talked about how sustainability should be a goal and a principle of design, not a gimmick.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/801e5895-15db-4a86-800e-c48a6c965865_298821549_140729745017192_8402428667114064589_n.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/living/tips/b-abble-is-back-from-rewind-to-rewild/33626" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Design And Architecture Fans: B+ABBLE Is Back</a></div><div><br/></div><p>For the first time, B+Abble also launched panel discussions called <em>Projects</em>, where individuals from multiple disciplines gave their unique perspectives on the festival’s theme.
