GEOGRAPHICAL
The Philippines appears like a broken rosary of islands floating along the southeastern rim
of
Asia, North of Borneo and South of Japan. This
strategic position makes our country the trade center of the Orient, citadel of Christianity
and democracy in East Asia, and the melting pot of the world races and cultures. To sum it
all this strategic position is responsible in the contribution of different architectural ideas
which were used in our buildings.
GEOLOGICAL
The Philippines is rich in natural resources that are yet largely undeveloped as
compared to
other asian countries. Indigenous materials which was used in the pre-Spanish
architecture
such as bamboo, coconut trees, palm, cogon grass, rattan, nipa are still very
abundant.
In the llocos and Pangasinan towns are found the clay, which is used to manufacture sun
dried and oven baked red bricks. This was introduced by the Spaniards in the 16th
century.
CLIMATIC

climatic types.

ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER
Architectlure in the Pre-Spanish era was expressed in the bahay-kubo style of dwellings,
which was cool and cozy and well adapted to tropical climate. Even before the Spanish
colonial period, the Filipino lived in permanent homes and wore clothes and ornamental
handicrafts. Their houses were constructed of wood, bamboo and leaves (nipa shingles).
They were grouped into Barangays along river bank.
"BAHAY KUBO"{cube house)
Structures at this stage were built without nails, lashing of rattan or strip of
bamboo were used.
SPANISH ERA (16TH-19TH CENTURY)
1521-18981
The natives learned to work with brick and stone, and had to contend with
the intricacies of the baroque and rococo.
This period of modern architecture in the Philippines began with Andres Luna de
San
Pedro, Juan Nakpil, Fernando Ocampo and Pablo Antonio, who like their Forbears of
the Neo-classic period were products of Foreign education. Their
During this period two schools of architecture were founded: The MAPUA Institute
of
Technology in 1925, and the school of Architecture of the University of Santo
Tomas in
1930. From these and from other schools that opened later came a new generation
of architects
who began a new chapter in the evolution of Filipino architecture.
