Curriculum Vitae Maxine Bernadette B. Dela Cueva I am a 24-year-old BS Architecture graduate from the University of Santo Tomas, specialized in Construction Project Management. I also completed a 40-hour Construction Occupational Safety and Health Training with 2-hour training of trainers, earning me a certificate as a COSH Safety Officer 2. Eager to join a design- focused team, I bring a strong background in conceptual development, architectural planning, design studies, and visual communication. I thrive in collaborative environments dedicated to creativity, design thinking, and thoughtful architectural solutions. My work is driven by a commitment to context-driven sustainability and community integration. I believe thoughtful architecture should harmonize structural efficiency with human experience, using innovative material choices and practical project management to create spaces that enhance both the built environment and the lives of the people who occupy them.

3 Elevating the Narratives of Philippine Indigenous Groups through Immersive Engagement THE MUSEUM OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE PHILIPPINES:

4 Design Evolution from the Philippine flag, as a national representation of all Indigenous Groups play of forms, with three sub-buildings to anchorly represent Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao This thesis addresses the underrepresentation of Philippine Indigenous Peoples in museums, where predominantly visual and textual displays overlook their multisensory heritage and limit authentic engagement. It proposes an inclusive, immersive museum model—grounded in a systematic selection of at-risk groups and Indigenous participation—to foster cultural equity, deeper learning, and accurate representation. Ultimately, the study highlights how immersive design can support cultural sustainability and redefine museums as dynamic platforms for Indigenous narratives.

26 A Freedom Memorial Museum TINTA

27 Design Evolution Design Concept The “feather and ink” concept represents traditional journalism’s role in documenting and exposing social injustices. Through quills, handwritten reports, articles, and newspapers, the museum highlights the risks and labor once involved in revealing injustice. The concept honors journalism’s past while emphasizing its continuing responsibility to uncover and challenge societal wrongs. Project Background The Freedom Memorial on Justice seeks to establish a potent architectural emblem honoring the fight for liberty and justice. This memorial will memorialize those who have battled for justice and the continuous fight for human rights by providing a space for introspection, education, and inspiration. A vision for a just future, historical significance, and current relevance will all be reflected in the design. The planned Freedom Memorial, TINTA, would act as a continual reminder of the work that needs to be done in addition to honoring the valiant people and groups that have battled for justice.
