Description

Book Synopsis

As the capital of a country that has been colonized the longest and among the earliest, -Manila's cityscape is the reflection of many different influences.

This guide explores its architectural history through nearly 120 buildings described in detail: from the neoclassicism and art deco of the -American occupation to the brutalist concrete under the auspices of the Marcos regime right through to the expressive ecclesiastical archi-tecture that serves the Philippines' large -Catholic population. Aimed at local architects, heritage activists, and students, as well as international travellers, the book also brings together a great variety of contributors. Essays feature voices from the -Philippines and from the Filipino diaspora, from academia and from internet platforms. Another special feature is that the buildings presented include some vernacular and non-canonical architectural works that are known in popular culture, such as the site of the Ali vs. Frazier 'Thrilla in Manila' boxing match.
