Biography
Aida-Cruz Del Rosario (born 1922) was the first female graduate of the University of Santo Tomas College of Architecture (1946) and the first female architect in the Philippines. She originally wanted to be a dentist but her father convinced her to do architecture. Her husband Jose del Rosario was an engineer, and together they constructed and designed over 120 edifices, hospitals, and houses from Luzon to Mindanao.
While some sources credit Eulie Chowdhury as the first woman architect in Asia, others including Aida-Cruz Del Rosario were working at similar dates, but women like Perin Jamsetjee Mistri and Dora Gad preceded her.
