5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for Filipino Traditional Interior Design., April 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Filipino Style (Hardcover)
Finally, a book on Traditional and Contemporary Philippine Interior Design by a reputable author/photographer. It will give the reader a good sense of Native Interiors to Traditional influences of Spanish-Colonial Interior Design and Architecture. Very superb photographs. Beautiful renderrings in the Furniture Dictionary.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have and a keeper, March 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Filipino Style (Hardcover)
This book is a must have for anyone interested in Philippine Architecture whether Filipino or not! It not only has beautiful pictures, but is informative-- covering topics such as historical fact, natural resources, and cultural influences. The architural styles featured truly depict Filipino originality and creativity from Spanish colonial times to the present Modern times. This book is definitely a keeper!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book has wonderful photos on Filipino architecture., July 20, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Filipino Style (Hardcover)
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Filipino architecture or Asian architecture in general. The photos are wonderful! I lived in the Philippines for 14 years and this book definitely took me to a trip down memory lane. Dive into this book and you can almost feel the warm breezes and sunshine of the Philippines. I only wish that they had included more photos of the Filipino Nipa Hut. But other than that, this book is fabulous! I've recommended this to a lot of my friends. Some of my favorite photos include the Tagaytay Highlands Club House and photos of the older "bahay na bato" (houses of stone) that are slowly disappearing from the Philippine landscape. I hope this book encourages the preservation of these Filipino architectural treasures.
