Not all men on a mission are astronauts. Sometimes, they’re architects and builders.<br /><br />As the number of local coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases continues to rise rapidly, a group of architects, engineers, and builders are racing against time to create more spaces that can accommodate patients that will decongest packed hospitals and, with hope, help flatten the curve.<br /><br />That’s exactly what William Ti, principal architect at WTA Design + Architecture, and fellow volunteers are doing by designing and putting up makeshift quarantine facilities near hospitals across Metro Manila and nearby provinces.<br /><br />The goal? Build 62 pandemic-ready tents with a combined bed capacity of 1,000.<br /><br />William Ti and his fellow architects are already halfway into their initiative.
