FREE THE FORM!

prelude + purpose

Here I go again creating another blog which would require a lot of my time and money to maintain. Of course, maintaining this would mean writing a lot of good stuffs, responding to readers comments so passerbye bloggers would appreciate and would find the contents of my spot useful.

But what makes this blog different to my other previous blogs is that this would mainly focus more on architecture. Yes, this blog would be about anything with regards to the art, my discipline, architecture. I spent 5 years in college learning about architecture and the government have given a license to practice the craft so I think that it also gives me a certification to write, give comments and suggest on the state of Philippine architecture or to simply describe a building or a site architecturally.

This spot would delve on topics like today’s building design, life and works of Filipino contemporary architects here and abroad, conservation, urban planning and multitude of topics about the art written in a very simple language, not so technical literature so non architects would undrestand the message crystal clear. I may not be as good and critical writer like Villalon or Mata or the ones you find in the pages of glossy design magazine but this is a start perhaps a small contribution to Philippine design literature.

As an architect and a lover of many arts, something in me empowered me to engage on these talks as if this task is a destiny to fulfill. In the back of my mind someone my soul perhaps is saying that I should commence writing about this architecture and yes the beauty of it.

So here it goes! Lets the show begins. Let's emancipate the form!
