Manila
Architectural Guide
Bianca Weeko Martin
As the capital of a country that has been colonised the longest and among the
earliest, Manila’s cityscape is the reflection of many different influences.
This guide explores its architectural history through nearly 120 buildings
described in detail: from the neoclassicism and art deco of the American
occupation to the brutalist concrete under the auspices of the Marcos regime
right through to the expressive ecclesiastical archi tecture that serves the
Philippines’ large Catholic population. Aimed at local architects, heritage
activists, and students, as well as international travellers, the book also
brings together a great variety of contributors. Essays feature voices from
the Philippines and from the Filipino diaspora, from academia and from
internet platforms. Another special feature is that the buildings presented
include some vernacular and non-canoni- cal architectural works that are known
in popular culture, such as the site of the Ali vs. Frazier ‘Thrilla in
Manila’ boxing match.
Bianca Weeko Martin, born in 1996 in Jakarta, Martin studied architecture at
the University of Waterloo and worked at studios in New York City, Mexico
City, and Melbourne. She is an independent writer, artist, and researcher
based in Toronto, Canada, with a focus on place making, public art, and the
Filipino diaspora. Her thesis research on her family’s ancestral house, ‘The
White House’, received the Alpha Rho Chi Medal and the Royal Architectural
Institute of Canada (RAIC) Honour Roll.
