ABOUT

The Yuchengco Museum opened its doors to the public in September 2005. Its primary goal is to foster a greater public appreciation of art through the finest international as well as local, cultural, historical, and design exhibits and programs. Located in Makati, the heart of Metro Manila’s financial district, the Museum is not only a “temple” that showcases art, but also a “forum” of exchange, debate, and education.

The Museum was created to house the art collection of Ambassador Alfonso T. Yuchengco, and highlight his distinguished career as a businessman, diplomat, collector, philanthropist, patron of the arts, and advocate for education in the Philippines and beyond.

Architecture and Urban Visions: The Power of the Imagined

"Architecture and Urban Visions: The Power of the Imagined" brings together unbuilt works by visionary Filipino architects—members of the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP). The exhibit is an exploration of ideas, powerful expressions of creativity, ambition and foresight. While these never left the drawing boards, these unrealized structures reflect the visionary nature of design, often challenging traditional boundaries and presenting radical ideas that provoke thought and dialogue. Even in their intangible form, these designs serve as blueprints for progress, inspiring future architects, planners, and societies to dream beyond the constraints of their time. They emphasize that architecture is not merely about what gets constructed but also about the endless possibilities of what could be. The exhibition’s spotlight falls on the creative process and the boundless potential of the unbuilt. By showcasing these works, we celebrate the architect’s courage to innovate and design, limited only by imagination in the face of limitations—whether technical, financial, or ideological. These projects, though unrealized, provide groundbreaking solutions that redefined what architecture can be. This exhibit stands as a testament to the power of vision, underscoring the importance of architectural thought not just in shaping spaces, but in shaping ideas.
