adobo FOI 2019: Reintroducing Filipino identity through architecture with Architect Royal Pineda

As someone who is an advocate for modern Filipino design, Arch. Royal Pineda, the Co-Founder and Lead Architect of BUDJI+ROYAL Architecture+Design, aims to define the Filipino nation through architecture, and he is doing this by mixing modern with traditional Filipino elements. However, there is the question of what exactly is Filipino architecture, and he answers by citing boat houses and the bahay kubo — a stilt house native to the Philippines — which weren’t created by architects, but by regular Filipinos. “Let’s not be so conscious about the look of Filipino architecture,” Pineda added. “It’s the freedom to be able to create something that works for the Filipinos and works with the resources of the Filipinos.”
