Architecture of the Philippines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Architecture of the Philippines is a reflection of the history and heritage of the Philippines. The various architecture found in the country is influenced by Malay, Hindu,Chinese, colonial Spanish, American and Filipino cultures.

The pre-colonial architecture of the Philippines consisted of the nipa hut made from natural materials. A great variety of the nipa hut exists over the Philippines.

During three hundred years of Spanish colonialization the Philippine architecture was dominated by the Spanish culture. During this period Intramuros, the walled city, of Manila, was built with its walls, houses, churches and fortresses. The Augustinian friars built a large number of grand churches all over the Philippine Islands. During this period the traditional Filipino "Bahay na Bato" style for the large mansion emerged. These were large houses built of stone and wood combining Filipino, Spanish and Chinese style elements. The best preserved examples of these houses can be found in Vigan , Ilocos Sur and Taal, Batangas.

After the Spanish American war the architecture of the Philippines was dominated by the American style. In this period the plan for the modern city of Manila was designed, with a large number of art deco buildings, by famous American and Filipino architects. During the liberation of Manila by the Americans in 1945 large portions of Intramuros and Manila were destroyed. In the period after the second world war many of the destroyed buildings were rebuilt.

At the end of the twentieth century modern architecture with straight lines and functional aspects was introduced. During this period many of the older structures fell into decay. Early in the 21st Century a revival of the respect for the traditional Filipino elements in the architecture returned.
