Not all men on a mission are astronauts. Sometimes, they’re architects and builders.
As the number of local coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases continues to rise rapidly, a group of architects, engineers, and builders are racing against time to create more spaces that can accommodate patients that will decongest packed hospitals and, with hope, help flatten the curve.
That’s exactly what William Ti, principal architect at WTA Design + Architecture, and fellow volunteers are doing by designing and putting up makeshift quarantine facilities near hospitals across Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
The goal? Build 62 pandemic-ready tents with a combined bed capacity of 1,000.
William Ti and his fellow architects are already halfway into their initiative.
