THE Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) will feature multi-awarded architect Dr. Gerard Lico in the 14th session of the National Sports Summit 2021 on Wednesday.
Lico, a esteemed professor from the University of the Philippines, will discuss sports infrastructure in the country.
Lico led the team behind the renovation of the historical Rizal Memorial Coliseum for the 2019 Southeast Asian Games. He will talk before 800 registered participants in the online conference and give an overview of the sports edifices in the Philippines.
Lico’s notable works on Philippine architecture and cultural studies include the “Edifice Complex: Power, Myth and Marcos State Architecture” (2003) and “Arkitekturang Filipino: A History of Architecture and Urbanism in the Philippines” (2008).
“We are elated for the chance given to us by Dr. Lico to share his breadth of knowledge and skills to our summit stakeholders on this important topic,” PSC Chairman William Ramirez said. “The improvement of sports facilities has always been part of the goal to provide a better sporting experience to our countrymen.”
