    Thanks for the Locsin bio, Eric! My auntie-in-law who hails from Negros claims that Lindy Locsin was her elementary classmate. Then, my sister had her office at the Locsin bldg a long time ago. I would regularly visit her after office hours and once I had Arch. Locsin in the same elevator. It was at the same time when I had another friend with me and I quietly remarked to her to notice that the elevator had its own voice which announces "second flooor".

    Original post:

    What is the future of Filipino architecture? The answer seems terrifying as slums sprawl endlessly, identical skyscrapers rise up monthly, and every single housing project is inspired by foreign styles. What future can we expect from an uncontrolled growth of the small, the ugly, and the foreign? Disturbing question. But what&#;s more disturbing is that architects are blaming the bad economy, if not the bland billboards. Oh yes, we, Filipino architects, have all kinds of excuses; we never blame ourselves. Yet if we look at Manila, the buildings, the houses, and the skyscrapers shape much of its ugliness, than the billboards that are actually dwarfed in comparison.
