Hybrid Modernity
While we dorecognize that modernity inthe
Philippines are still connected and inextricably
linked with modernities from other parts of the
world, the history of the Philippines should not
be merely thought of as an extension of
European modern architecturehistory.Rather,
its culturaland historical specificities gave
riseto an architectural heritage that continues
to takepart in the lives of theFilipinos.By
accepting its unique context and situation then
are we able to produce a historiography that
does not privilege Europe and instead celebrate
the complexities and diversity of each
architecture culture.
