FILIPINO ARCHITECTS
AND THEIR
PHILOSOPHIES
 PABLO ANTONIO

ANTONIOS ARCHITECTURE AND ITS

ADOPTION OF ART DECO TECHNIQUES
WAS RADICAL FOR ITS DAY,
NEOCLASSICISM BEING DOMINANT MOTIF
OF PHILIPPINE ARCHITECTURE WHEN HE
BEGAN HIS CAREER.
 PABLO ANTONIO

HE WAS CITED TAKING ARCHITECTURE

INTO A NEW DIRECTION, WITH
CLEAN LINES, PLAIN SURFACES, AND
BOLD RECTANGULAR MASSES.
 PABLO ANTONIO
BUILDINGS SHOULD BE PLANNED WITH
AUSTERITY IN MIND AND ITS STABILITY FOREVER
AS THE AIM OF TRUE ARCHITECTURE, THAT
BUILDINGS MUST BE PROGRESSIVE, SIMPLE IN
DESIGN BUT DIGNIFIED, TRUE TO A PURPOSE
WITHOUT RESORTING TO AN APPLIED SET OF
AESTHETICS AND SHOULD ETERNALLY RECREATE
TRUTH.
 FRANCISCO BOBBY MANOSA

FOR MANOSAS PHILOSOPHY IS THAT THE SHELTER

FOR THE FILIPINO MUST BE REFLECTIVE OF HIS
ENVIRONMENT AND CULTURE. FILIPINO
ARHCITECTURE ARCHITECTURE MUST BE SUITED TO
THE COUNTRYS SEASON AND CLIMATE,
RESPONSIVE TO THE CALLINGS OF ONES
REGION, AND REFLECTIVE OF OUR SOCIAL AND
CULTURAL TRADITIONS.
 FRANCISCO BOBBY MANOSA

HE STRESSED THAT FILIPINO

ARCHITECTURE IN MODERN TIMES
SHOULD REDEFINE OUR IDENTITY TO
PROVIDE CONTINUITY WITHOUT
NECESSARILY GOING BACK TO THE
PAST.
 FRANCISCO BOBBY MANOSA

MY PHILOSOPHY IS TO BRING BACK

THE BAHAY KUBO AND THIS
PHILOSOPHY WILL BE IN CONTINUITY
 FRANCISCO BOBBY MANOSA

IN THE WEST, THE FUNCTIONS OF THE HOUSE FOLLOW

ITS SHAPE. BUT TO BOBBY, PHILIPPINE ARCHITECTURAL
FORM FOLLOWS FASHION, NOT FUNCTION. FILIPINOS
ACCORDING TO HIM, ARE COPY CATS. THE LOSS OF
FILIPINOS IDENTITY AS A NATION IS AMONG THE MANY
CONCERNS OF BOBBY. AND BRINGING BACK THE
BAHAY KUBO IS HIS WAY OF HELPING THE COUNTRY
REGAIN ITS PRIDE AND CULTURE.
