Architecture
(2006)
“Architecture must be true to itself, its land, and its
people” -Francisco Manosa
Short Background:
 Architecture in the Philippines today is the
result of a natural growth enriched with
absorption of varied influences.
 It developed from the pre-colonial influences of
our neighboring Malay brothers(bahay kubo),
continuing on to the Spanish colonial
Period(church), the American Commonwealth
period(manila central post office) and the
modern contemporary times(ccp).painsert na

 As a result the Phiippines has become an
architectural melting pot-uniquely Filipino with
a tinge of the occidental.

A.Short Background
 Born on February 12, 1931 in Manila
 Nicknamed "Bobby" in the American-inspired
fashion of the era, he played jazz piano and
initially wanted a career in music, but studied
architecture at the University of Santo Tomas
on the insistence of his father.
 Mañosa spent a year in Japan immediately
after his graduation from college, because his
father insisted that he spend "at least one year
somewhere in the world" Mañosa opted to go
to Japan, which had also inspired
architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
 Upon coming home from Japan, Mañosa
began working in the family architectural firm,
Mañosa Brothers, with his brothers Manuel Jr.
and José. But he began insisting that he take
on projects that were Filipino in design, rather
than the Modernist or International
style buildings that were in vogue at the time.
Movement
 A Filipino architect considered as one of the
most influential Filipino architects of the 20th
century for having pioneered the art of
Philippine neovernacular architecture.
 Mañosa devoted his life's work to creating a
Filipino identity in architecture, advocating
design philosophies that harken "back to the
bahay kubo and the bahay na bato,” and other
traditional vernacular forms.
 Mañosa became known for combining these
traditional forms and indigenous materials with
modern building technology to create
structures which he felt were those best suited
to the Philippines' tropical climate.
