520			_a"The Philippines has long been known for its creative designs in furniture and for the skill of its artisans in crafting modern products from traditional materials. This book takes a giant step forward - into the realm of modern architecture. Twenty-five stunning homes showcase the best of residential design by a number of outstanding Filipino architects and designers. Blending the graceful proportions of Oriental forms with the rigorous discipline and modernism of Western architecture, the houses retain an affinity with natural materials - warm hardwoods, rustic stone and slate, earthy clay and tile - at the same time introducing innovative use of glass, concrete, steel, and aluminum. Water elements and lush tropical gardens complete the transition from traditional conventions to Asian fusion and international modernist trends. From expansive courtyard homes and gracious pavilion residences in elite sub-divisions of Manila to elegant vacation homes in Batangas, the architectural landscape presented in this book is a refreshing and inspiring response to modern living in the Philippines."--Jacket.
