This review is from: Designing Filipino: The Architecture Of Francisco Manosa (Hardcover)
A well written book. Based on the architectural images provided in the book, it provides the reader a clear perception of architectural space and its environs. Although I have practiced architecture in the United States for over 28 years, I have been reminded again of what makes Philippine architecture unique. Architect Francisco Manosa captured the essence of indigenous tropical malay architecture and the only missing elements are the aromas coming from the kitchen and you feel you have actually lived in these houses. Congratulations on a well documented project and I wish Mr. Caruncho all the encouragement to continue writing on projects such as this.

This review is from: Designing Filipino: The Architecture Of Francisco Manosa (Hardcover)
This book shows the work of a brilliant architect. It is not only worth the price, but I think the book might even be underpriced. If you love architecture, you'll love this book.
