Nine days.One city.Everything
being made.

Designweek Manila is the country’s design practice laid open — the type designers, the flood architects, the people who ship software used by eleven million. Not a conference you watch from a lanyard. Nine days you walk through the whole city.

Five tracks, one question: what is design for here?

Meet the faculty →

01Graphic
Type, identity, editorial, and the poster that still shouts louder than the feed.
02Spatial
Architecture and public space built for a city that floods, sinks, and refuses to leave.
03Digital
Systems and products at national scale — where a good default is a policy decision.
04Craft
Wood, clay, ink, and loom. Making with the hands, taught in rooms that smell of solvent.
05Discourse
Panels, archives, and arguments about who design serves and who gets to call it ours.
