Klassen, Winand W.
Architecture in the Philippines : Filipino building in a cross-cultural context / Winand Klassen with illustrations by Odelia L. Walag ... [et al.]. - xviii, 429 p. : ill., maps 28 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 409-422) and index.
In this book, Klassen presents architecture and building as cultural artifacts in both their passive and active aspects. They are seen both as receivers of associated beliefs, values and aspirations, and also as expressors of such beliefs and values. The book is written from a designer's point of view, to be used principally by student-architects and architectural practitioners in the Philippines with the intention of narrowing the gap between the architectural historian and critic and the practicing architect. --Front Cover of the book.
