ARCHITECTURE
One of the effects of World War II in the country is the destruction of architectural sites especially in
the capital city of Manila. A time of rebuilding ensued. Philippine architecture uses the simple straight
lines of the International Modern Styles such as a chief mode of expression. In 1970, Philippine
architecture’s new form emerged which shows the artistic skills of Filipinos. The Filipino style found its
way in the re-emergence of traditional motifs. In fact, Bahay Kubo and the Bahay na bato became
popular forms to be copied and modernized as well as Batasang Pambansa and the National
Theater. By the 1980’s the country’s architectural design was swept by Post Modernism, a comeback
of some sort to classical architecture.
