People to Contact
One of the notable features of the curtain wall
industry is that it is surprisingly small. It
seems that each new project, wherever in the world
it is located, brings us into contact with friends
with whom we have worked in the past. We hope that
all of you — the members of this design
community — will be able to visit us at our
office in Manila. For those who do not know us
already, below are some brief notes of
introduction. We look forward to hearing from you.
Adam Lee was born and raised in
London. He read engineering at Cambridge
University, and there he received his bachelor's
and master's degrees. The topic of his doctoral
research, carried out in the Faculty of Design and
Engineering at the University of Bath, was
structural stability and cross-sectional shape
optimization in aluminium profiles. The numerical
methods that he began developing as a
post-graduate student are used today by PTCC to
minimize material content in bespoke curtain walls
designs.
Adam has previously worked for firms offering
facade design, testing and consulting services,
and he has been running PTCC since its inception
in 1999. He remains active as a designer and an
engineer, advising clients, conceptualizing new
facade systems and composing design-automation
algorithms. He is a Chartered Engineer and a
Fellow of the Society of Facade Engineering.
Appolo Arcaya graduated from the
University of Santo Thomas, and qualified as
licensed architect in 1994. As a practising
professional, he handled design works for large
developments including high-rise towers, temples,
shopping malls and a casino.
Polo received his masters degree in Construction
Management from University of the East, Manila.
Today, he and his departmental staff manage PTCC's
contracts.
Susan Benjamin was raised in
Davao City, Mindanao, where she attended Ateneo
University, graduating in commerce with a major in
accounting. After qualifying as a Certified Public
Accountant, she worked for seven years with a
developmental charity providing support for the
poor. She moved to Manila where, in 2000, she
joined PTCC. Susan manages the company's finances.
