Okay, let’s play a game. I’ll list some Filipino Architects here and you should list at least one landmark they designed. If you are a Filipino Architect (professional or student) and can’t complete at least 10, then you should know more about the founding fathers of your profession.

1. Juan Arellano

2. Juan Nakpil

3. Fernando Ocampo

4. Pablo Antonio

5. Andres Luna

6. Arcadio Arellano

7. Cesar Concio

8. Felix Roxas y Arroyo

9. Jose Zaragoza

10. Antonio Toledo

11. Leandro Locsin

12. Federico Ilustre

13.  Tomas Mapua

14. Ildefonso Santos, Jr.

15. Carmelo Casas

Maybe, familiarization with them will reduce the probability of cultural murders like what happened to the Meralco Building in San Marcelino. I think of all professions, architects should be more familiar with Architectural History more than the seasoned historians themselves. I think I should accept Tumblr Asks with some answers.
