MANILA, Philippines — In an effort to promote excellence among the country’s budding architects and design engineers, Environments Global Foundation (EGF) launched two programs aimed at the country’s architecture and engineering educational institutions.
EGF is a corporate social responsibility group of the architectural and construction group Environments Global.
The two programs are the Lines to Lives Academic Excellence Award in Architecture and the Red Point Award.
The Lines to Lives is a planned annual search for the most outstanding student of architecture. Participating students must have a grade point average of 1.25, with no failure or incomplete grades.
EGF has partnered with the University of the Philippines, University of Sto. Tomas, and the Mapua Institute of Technology as part of the pilot program of the Lines to Lives, which would run from 2008 to 2009.
