Gerard Lico`s contribution to Philippine architectural history and criticism covers the late twentieth-century phenomenon of a distinctive, but slightly demented architectural aesthetic wielded by a conjugal dictatorship" to legitimize its regime and perpetuate its power. It is this relationship between power and architecture that provides the frameworks and context for this book" - Paulo Alcazaren. Finalist, 2003 National Book Award, for Art (BIP-ADMUP).
