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 ER -
