Dear Maria Lourdes,

"A work of architecture becomes iconic only when

it captures a spirit and an idea that is relevant to and

valued by those who view it, inhabit it, and use it

over the time." (Leandro V. Locsin)

Querido Francisco,

"La arquitectura moderna filipina es el
producto de dos grandes corrientes

que juntas han producido un nuevo
objeto de gran armonía"

1056. Cultural Center of the Philippines

Querido Francisco,

He venido a visitar tu maravilloso país. En Manila he
disfrutado de la sublime monumentalidad del Centro
Cultural. Este fascinante edificio es robusto y pesado
en volumen y escala, y al mismo tiempo ligero y grácil
en sus formas. Mañana pasaré el día en el vecino
Centro Internacional de Convenciones, que he sabido
es obra del mismo arquitecto: Leandro V. Locsin.

Cuidate mucho,
R

yet light" (Leandro Locsin)

Leandro Locsin was a remarkable architect, interior designer, and artist and one of the most significant contributors to the development of contemporary architecture in The Philippines.

R
