Aecom, an American engineering and architectural design company, has won the open competition for the best optimized design for Clark Green City’s conceptual master development plan, state-owned Bases Conversion and Development Authority said Wednesday.
BCDA said Aecom’s design bested four other top designs submitted by top international and Filipino architectural companies for the Clark Green City project.
Aecom’s optimized design for Clark Green City projected some 1.12 million residents and 800,000 workers.
“The design provides a complete mix of uses. It creates economic vibrancy and at the same time balances it with natural sustainability. Immediately, one can see the mix of development particularly when one builds a new city. The design also includes the community that would be living in the area and jobs and opportunities that would be created for a new metropolis,” said BCDA president and chief executive Arnel Casanova, who headed the panel of judges for the competition.
Aecom also took home $50,000 during the awarding ceremony held on Feb. 2, 2015 at the Mind Museum in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.
Aecom vice president Yeh Chin Hsu and regional manager and director Brian Jennett represented the company during the awarding.
The acronym Aecom stands for architecture, engineering, consulting, operations and maintenance. Aecom is a fully integrated infrastructure and support services firm with offices worldwide. It has nearly 100,000 employees serving clients in more than 150 countries around the world.
