    Keeper of the National Identity

    Buildings have been important elements of man’s society. However, there are times when their significance exceeds more than being the typical shelter or cover from the elements. Their importance sometimes dig deeper to the identity and culture of the community it belongs in. They become the long-standing witness of the past and could even hold […]

    Walled City of Avignon

    While I was working on my thesis in Milan, a friend of mine, who was staying in Barcelona, invited me to join her on her trip on the south of France. I immediately agreed as it is conveniently seated in between of Milan and Barcelona, plus I haven’t been to other parts of France other […]

    TBT: Venetian Façade

    It’s not exactly Thursday but I want to share this photo from my stash of photographs. It’s one of the purest images of the façade of one of the edges of Piazza San Marco in Venice on early morning. The arches, those little spires and the windows all add together to compose this image that is […]

    Champion of Filipino Architecture

    If there is a Champion of Filipino Architecture, it has to be Architect Francisco “Bobby” Mañosa. Mañosa is locally known to be the strongest promoter of the indigenous architecture with his fervent use of Filipino building materials, techniques, concepts and design. He has been consistently using native forms and imagery, such as those from a […]

    Wandered Upon #19 Abu Dhabi Airport

    Other people dislike layovers. They are often long and unbearable. However, if I am to do one in an interesting airport, I would just maximize my time to look around the airport and see its design. Strategically located on the crossroads between Europe, Africa and Eastern Asia, Abu Dhabi International Airport of the United Arab […]

    Ngong Ping Village

    As most of Hong Kong is a tourist destination, my family decided to visit these sites for us to enjoy the city while we were there. Hong Kong Disneyland was an obvious choice for us as we are traveling with my little niece. Another place that we checked out was Ngong Ping Village, at the […]

    Towering Concrete and Glass

    After residing in Europe for a couple of years, I have grown accustomed with the low- to mid-rise developments that comprise general Europe. There, buildings generally rise up to about ten levels, aside from the towering cathedrals and business centers on designated parts of the metropolis. This is in stark contrast with the buzzing cities […]

    Duomo di Pavia

    I haven’t been posting for a while now. This is because I am currently writing my Masters thesis and it occupies most of my time. This is unfortunate because I have so many photos and stories that I want to share here. Sometimes, I look at the photos and I just can’t think of a […]

    Home of St. John Paul II

    Being the birthplace of St. John Paul II, Wadowice possesses a distinct identity that makes it very special for the Catholics of Poland. Although small, in population and in area, the city is one of the most visited cities in the country due to its special link to the beloved saint, who was born as […]

    The Voice of These Walls

    Most of the best architecture are meant to make people feel something. The grandest cathedrals can make an individual feel so small and feel vulnerable. Others yield awe and wonder. A different kind of architecture could possibly emit the feeling of security and nourishment. The feeling of warmth and kindness stretch throughout the space that […]
