Bahay - A Tour Of Traditional Filipino by Adrian Panadero - Trade Paperback - Architecture Books

The houses in this book are six among
the many traditional homes belonging to
different ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines. While they represent merely a slice of
our rich national architectural heritage, the
selection in this book has been consistently
cited by scholars as important examples of
Philippine architecture. It also offers a broad
representation of the country's main island
groups. While it can be argued that these
dwellings have evolved to meet the contemporary demands of our time, I still chose
to depict them in their traditional manner
to remind us of the endemic architectural
principles passed through the generations.
This book does not pretend to be an
exhaustive reference for traditional Philippine homes. Think of it as an introduction
to the ingeniously innovative, adaptive, and
resourceful architecture of the Filipino people. There are more houses to learn about,
many of which are featured in the books listed
in the bibliography.
