Ramon Magsaysay Center, Office building in Malate, Philippines.
The Ramon Magsaysay Center stretches 18 stories high along Roxas Boulevard, featuring a travertine-clad exterior structure with slender ground-level columns facing Manila Bay.
Constructed in 1967 by architects Alfredo Luz, Pietro Belluschi, and Alfred Yee Associates, this building maintained its status as the Philippines' tallest structure until 1968.
The center houses the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation, which grants recognition to individuals and organizations demonstrating leadership excellence throughout Asia.
The Ramon Magsaysay Hall accommodates 250 people for events, while smaller conference rooms provide meeting spaces for groups of 8 to 15 participants.
The structure implements a column-free design concept with pre-cast and pre-stressed beams configured like tree roots extending into the ground.
