This architecture portfolio by Maxine Dela Cueva presents the work of a BS Architecture graduate from the University of Santo Tomas, specialized in Construction Project Management. It is intended for design-focused teams and potential employers, showcasing her background in conceptual development, architectural planning, and visual communication.
The document opens with a curriculum vitae detailing her education, a 40-hour COSH training certificate as Safety Officer 2, and her design philosophy centered on context-driven sustainability and community integration. Contact information and a certificate are included.
The main thesis project, the Museum of Indigenous Peoples of the Philippines, addresses underrepresentation of Indigenous groups through immersive engagement. It features floor plans for an administrative building and Luzon building, with elevations and sections showing materials like treated engineered bamboo, dark copper, and curtain walls.
Additional projects include Casa Bautista (a modern oasis house), Grounded Nostalgia (architectural interior), and Jollibee Germany (architectural interior). Each is presented with design evolution notes, floor plans, and perspective views, emphasizing form and material choices.
The portfolio concludes with technical drawings such as basement and ground floor plans, elevation scales, and section cuts. Key design elements include plexiglass dome skylights, exposed concrete wall panels, and curtain walls with film, demonstrating a focus on structural efficiency and human experience.
