The National Committee on Architecture and Allied Arts of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) will be mounting eight exhibits in different venues highlighting architecture and its role and connection in Philippine life as part of the Philippine International Arts Festival (PIAF) in celebration of National Arts Month (NAM) Presidential Proclamation No. 683 in 1991
“Archi(Types/Text): Architecture in Philippine Life” features eight different exhibits that tackle “landscape and urban planning, painting and photography, cinema and postcards.”
Also this year, the Committee on Architecture and Allied Arts led by its vice head, Architect Gerard Lico, recognizes notable works and contributions done by architect and painter Andres Luna de San Pedro. The committee also decided to feature the Vargas Collection at the Vargas Museum, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City.
Other exhibits which will allow art enthusiasts and architects alike to architecture as an art include “Imperial Reproduction: Imagining the Philippines in Color,” “Imperial Gaze: Representations of Far Zamboanga in Colonial Photography,” “Manila and the River that Runs Through It,” “Deco Decadence: Philippine Art Deco Architecture,” “Philippine Landscape and Urban Planning 1900-1960,” and “Pa(ng)labas = architecture + cinema.”
These exhibits aims to let people experience architecture in a different perspective. It comes our as both a type and text because it is “both a thing and subjectivity...Architecture finally becomes complex in culture and history: it is formative and figurative,” according to the committee.
The exhibits will happen mostly in different venues in Metro Manila and one in Cebu.
