THE TSG SERIES #015
Beyond the Classroom
Learning Through Discovery

Some of the most meaningful lessons are not learned from textbooks.

They are discovered through experience.

The future of education extends far beyond the traditional classroom. As learning becomes more immersive and experiential, campuses must provide environments that inspire curiosity, encourage exploration, and transform knowledge into meaningful experiences.

The Museum of the Human Body at the De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute (DLSMHSI) is envisioned as one of these environments.

Designed as a new generation learning facility, the museum will allow students, faculty, healthcare professionals, and visitors to explore the remarkable complexity of the human body through anatomical exhibits, interactive displays, digital learning technologies, and immersive educational experiences. Once the specialized exhibits and interior installations are completed, it will become one of the campus's most distinctive destinations for learning and public engagement.

This remarkable facility was made possible through the generosity of Ms. Vivian Que Azcona, whose family founded Mercury Drug. Her gift reflects a shared commitment to advancing medical education and creating meaningful learning experiences that will benefit generations of future healthcare professionals.

The architecture itself introduces this journey of discovery.

Before visitors even step inside, the building begins to tell its story. The transparent façade symbolizes openness, curiosity, and the pursuit of knowledge, while its abstract graphic pattern draws inspiration from the microscopic geometry of human cells. The layered circular forms reinterpret biological structures into an elegant architectural expression of science and discovery.

More than an architectural feature, the façade also functions as a solar screen, filtering natural daylight and reducing heat gain while creating a distinctive identity for the museum.

In this way, the building itself becomes the first exhibit—introducing the themes of biology, anatomy, and scientific exploration before the learning experience even begins.

More than a museum, it is an extension of the classroom.

It is a place where future doctors, nurses, therapists, researchers, and allied health professionals can deepen their understanding of the human body through exploration and discovery. It also reflects DLSMHSI's continuing commitment to advancing medical education, research, innovation, and community engagement.

Projects like these remind us that great campuses are built not only through thoughtful planning and design, but also through the generosity of individuals who believe in the power of education to transform lives.

Because the most memorable learning experiences are those that inspire us to ask questions long before we find the answers.

THE TSG SERIES #014
Designing for Creativity
The role of Performing Arts Venues in modern campuses.

Every student deserves a stage.

Not only to perform.

But to discover confidence, creativity, teamwork, and self-expression.

The performing arts have long been an essential part of a well-rounded education. Whether through music, theater, dance, public speaking, or the visual arts, these experiences cultivate creativity, communication, empathy, and leadership—skills that remain valuable long after graduation.

Modern educational facilities should therefore provide dedicated spaces where these talents can flourish.

The Black Box Theater is designed as a highly flexible performance venue that adapts to a wide variety of creative and educational activities. Unlike a traditional theater with a fixed stage and seating arrangement, a black box allows the space to be reconfigured for musicals, dramatic productions, dance performances, recitals, rehearsals, lectures, workshops, film screenings, and student exhibitions.

Its simplicity becomes its greatest strength—allowing each production to create its own unique environment.

Beyond the performing arts, flexibility also creates long-term value for educational institutions.

With retractable seating and an open floor configuration, the venue can easily transform into a multi-purpose hall for donor recognition events, alumni gatherings, award ceremonies, conferences, community forums, exhibitions, and institutional celebrations.

Outside the academic calendar, schools may also lease the facility for corporate functions, cultural events, and community performances, creating an additional source of revenue while strengthening engagement with the wider community.

A well-designed performing arts venue is therefore more than a theater.

It is an investment in creativity, community, and the long-term sustainability of the campus.

Because education is not only about preparing students for examinations.

It is about giving them the confidence to step onto life's stage.

Every Milestone Begins with a Vision
From vision to recognition.

Every great campus begins with a vision.

Long before construction starts, before the first concrete is poured, and years before a building receives recognition, it begins with a simple idea—to create a place where future generations can learn, collaborate, and thrive.

Yesterday, we were honored to celebrate an important milestone as the Enrique K. Razon Jr. Hall and University Hall of the De La Salle University Laguna Campus were formally awarded the LEED Silver Certification, becoming the first academic buildings in the Philippines to achieve this distinction under the LEED v4 BD+C: Schools rating system.

Years before these buildings received LEED Silver recognition, the vision was already clear—to create learning environments where sustainability, student well-being, and campus life would become inseparable parts of the architecture.

The design embraced passive environmental strategies from the very beginning. Building orientation, deep roof overhangs, high-performance façades, architectural sun screens, landscaped terraces, generous open spaces, and naturally daylit student hubs were carefully integrated to create healthier, more energy-efficient, and inspiring places for learning.

What began as an architectural vision has today become a living campus that serves thousands of students while establishing a new benchmark for sustainable educational design in the Philippines.

As the project architect, TSG Asia with KIRK is deeply grateful to De La Salle University, Arcadis Philippines, the consultants, contractors, and the entire project team for the trust, collaboration, and shared commitment that made this achievement possible.

Every certification is a milestone.

But the true achievement lies in creating places that will continue to inspire learning, strengthen communities, and care for the environment for generations to come.

Congratulations to everyone who helped transform a vision into a lasting legacy.

The Spiritual Heart of a Campus
Designing places of faith, reflection, and community.

A campus should nurture more than the mind.

It should also nurture the spirit.

Amid the rhythm of classes, activities, and daily life, every educational community benefits from having a place where people can pause, reflect, pray, and find peace.

The Ichthus Chapel at the De La Salle Santiago Zobel Vermosa Campus was envisioned as more than a place of Catholic worship. It is designed as the spiritual heart of the campus—a welcoming sanctuary where students, faculty, families, alumni, and the surrounding community can gather in prayer, celebrate the Eucharist, attend retreats, and mark life's important milestones together.

Its architecture draws inspiration from the ancient Christian symbol of the Ichthus, recalling Christ's invitation to His disciples: "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." This timeless symbol is expressed through a contemporary architectural form that reflects faith while embracing modern design.

The chapel's sculptural form with its metallic screens reinterpret the image of fishermen's nets. Beyond their symbolic meaning, they serve as passive sun-shading devices, filtering natural light into the interior while reducing heat gain. As daylight moves through the patterned screens, the space becomes a place where architecture, light, and faith come together to create an atmosphere of serenity and contemplation.

Located within the Cultural Zone of the Vermosa Campus, the chapel extends its mission beyond the school by welcoming the broader community for worship and spiritual formation, strengthening the connection between the institution and the people it serves.

Because education is not only about forming great minds.

It is also about forming compassionate hearts.

Learning Through Play
Designing spaces for discovery.

A child's first classroom should not feel like a classroom.

It should feel like a place to explore.
To imagine.
To create.

To play.

Research continues to show that play is one of the most important ways young children learn. Through play, they develop creativity, communication skills, problem-solving abilities, confidence, and social awareness.

For this reason, nursery school environments should be designed differently from traditional classrooms. They should encourage movement, exploration, interaction, and discovery through a variety of learning experiences.

Flexible play areas, activity zones, reading corners, sensory environments, and collaborative spaces allow children to learn at their own pace while engaging with their peers and surroundings. The environment itself becomes a teaching tool—encouraging curiosity and supporting cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development.

When thoughtfully designed, these spaces help transform learning into an experience that is joyful, engaging, and memorable.

Because for young children,
play is not a break from learning.

Play is learning.

THE TSG SERIES
Campus as Community
Designing places where people belong.

A campus is not remembered for its classrooms alone.

It is remembered for the conversations.
The friendships.
The ideas exchanged between classes.

The moments that happen in between.

Today's students learn in many ways. Through lectures and laboratories —but also through discussion, collaboration, mentorship, and shared experiences with their peers.

For this reason, modern campuses require more than academic spaces. They need a network of social hubs where students can gather, study, collaborate, and simply spend time together.

These spaces can take many forms—learning commons, covered terraces, outdoor lounges, student hubs, courtyards, and informal gathering areas. Some are active and social. Others are quiet and reflective. Together, they create opportunities for connection throughout the day.

When thoughtfully integrated into a campus, these environments encourage interaction, strengthen community, and support student well-being. They transform the campus from a collection of buildings into a place where people feel connected to one another and to the institution itself.

Because the most meaningful part of education
is often not a place.

It is the community that forms within it.

Daylight & Ventilation
Designing for human well-being.

A learning environment should do more
than shelter people.
It should help them feel better within it.

Natural daylight and ventilation play a significant role in shaping how students, faculty, and guests experience a campus throughout the day.

At the campuses that we design, circulation spaces, student hubs, and social areas are designed to maximize access to daylight, airflow, and visual openness. Through the use of heat-controlled skylights, architectural screens, shaded openings, and naturally ventilated spaces, the campus creates environments that are brighter, cooler, and more comfortable for everyday use.

These strategies are especially important in the spaces between classrooms—the areas where students gather, pause, collaborate, and move throughout the day. By bringing natural light and fresh air into these shared environments, the campus supports not only energy efficiency, but also well-being, focus, and social interaction.

The result is a learning environment that feels open, breathable, and connected to its surroundings.

Because good learning environments
are not only measured by function—
but by how people feel within them.

DLSU’s Enrique K. Razon Jr. Hall and University Hall have both received the LEED Silver Certification under LEED v4 for Building Design and Construction: Schools. This prestigious recognition makes them the first LEED Silver school buildings in the Philippines.

From Vision to Reality
A campus taking shape.

Great campuses are not built overnight.
They are built through years of vision, trust, and collaboration.

On May 15, 2026, the La Salle Green Hills International Baccalaureate, Senior High School, and Performing Arts Building reached a major construction milestone with its topping-off ceremony—marking the completion of the project’s structural framework and bringing the vision of the new academic complex closer to reality.

Positioned as a next-generation learning environment, the development is designed to support advanced academic programs, creative expression, student collaboration, and campus life within a unified and future-ready setting.

The project also forms part of the continuing transformation of the La Salle Green Hills campus, where over 2 decades of ongoing design involvement has helped maintain a cohesive architectural language and long-term campus vision.

Targeted to become the first LEED Gold Certified K–12 educational building in the Philippines, the development integrates sustainable design strategies that prioritize environmental performance, energy efficiency, and student well-being.

From drawings and ideas
to structure and space—

a vision for future generations
is beginning to rise.

The Collaborative Computer Laboratory

Design for how students learn today.

Learning is no longer done alone.
It happens in groups.
In discussion.
In shared discovery.

A computer laboratory is no longer just rows of desks.
It becomes a space for collaboration.
For exchange of ideas.
For problem-solving in real time.

Different setups allow different ways of learning.

Small clusters for teamwork.
Open layouts for flexibility.
Spaces that adapt to both focus and interaction.

Because technology is not just a tool.
It is a platform for connection.

When space supports collaboration,
learning becomes more dynamic.
More engaging.
More relevant to the real world.

Design should not follow tradition.
It should follow how people learn.
