"Architecture is one of the fields where... cultural symbiosis is patent." - Javier Galvan, Director, Instituto Cervantes, Manila.

OVERVIEW

This workshop provided an introduction to the International Congress on Philippine-Spanish Architecture, as well as the broader picture of Asia-Europe architectural interaction. In particular, participants discovered how, during the colonial past, Spanish architecture interacted with the local Philippine architecture. A publication of this event was released in 2003.
