Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - "Arkitekturang Filipino may resurrect an old question: Is [there] such a thing as Filipino architecture? Can one speak of it as one speaks of Filipino music, Filipino dance, Filipino painting, Filipino sculpture, Filipino literature, Filipino theater, and Filipino cinema, that is to say, as something recognizably Filipino, something that reflects the culture and spirit of the Filipino people? This video documentary is more than just a catalogue of facts and figures; it is a compelling scheme that charts the direction of the study of architecture in the Philippines. With copious photographs and archival materials sorted out and analyzed in relation to ideas and propositions, this turns out to be a vital contribution to our understanding of the abode of a most inhabited art. Indeed, with a sense of breadth and attention to the details of terrain, a horizon has been decidedly set."
