THE AMBITIOUS HOUSE


Architecture was ambitious back in the
early 20th century. It tried to
actually change society… rather than letting
the society dictate the architecture. We can
learn from such bravery.

I guess it's a lot like
Filipino architecture which also addresses
the needs of its times, or at least a lot of
good Filipino architecture.
