Incorporated in 1976, PROS was founded on the need for planning organizations that can cope in an integrated manner with present day development projects since the diversity of resource requirements demanded by major projects is beyond the capabilities of individual specialists or groups with singular specialization.
Founded by eminent environmental planners and architects spearheaded by Manuel T. Mañosa, Jr., PROS has evolved since it was founded almost four decades ago, to combine the solid experience of its former company and principals, with the novel approaches and dynamisms of its younger partners, and establish what is now PROS Architects and Planners, Inc.
Our Planning Philosophy
Environmental Planning
Man and his environment are complete ecosystem whose elements must be
maintained in a dynamic balance.
Participatory Planning
Planning must be sensitive to the
needs and aspirations of the people for whom it is intended.
Innovative Planning
The introduction and adaptation of new
technology must seek efficient and a humane utilization of scarce
resources.
Approach
We use the TOTAL APPROACH to planning. This considers
all the elements of a project: the people to be served, the activities
that provide economic opportunities, the physical infrastructures that
house, transport and support human activities, the institution that
organize and manage vital decision-making process, and the ecosystem
that sustains life.
The total approach is multi-disciplinary and responds to the complex relationship in the environment. The planning process operates within a SYSTEMS FRAMEWORK where each element is fused in to a coordinated whole-each component in casual relationship to the other, interlinked and inter-dependent.
The PROS Logo
Our logo demonstrates the articulation of group work. The double concentric is the integration of the planning expertise, which is at all times present. When these are brought together, a synergism, many times the strength of one acting individually, is achieved.
