Editing UP Task Force Arki (section)

== History ==

----
UP Task Force Arki was an offshoot of the Community Design Service Extension Program of the UP College of Architecture. It began in 1986 at the height of martial law and student activism with a volunteer group of 8 students who were inspired by their professor, Architect Manahan “to uplift the worsening urban housing situation of the time”. 

Its members have worked conscientiously with other organizations that are also involved in providing assistance to our less fortunate countrymen who aspire for better living standards. Being students of architecture, they share acquired knowledge so that everyone will have not only an affordable home but also a quality shelter.

However, aside from giving other people a chance to live better lives, they, as an org also build each other. The camaraderie and the good repertoire that they have, help members through everyday in the college, which at times could be so trying and difficult. Having been founded in a year of political revolution, UP TFA proves to be a revolution itself. It is a modification on how people should view the members' present status, and future profession, which is being an architect.
