Summary:

"Building modernity aims to present the landmarks of Philippine architecture in the last century, structures that have been presented here are emblematic of larger tendencies, movements, idealogies, and directions that have shaped the complex Filipino architectural culture in the 20th century. These modern landmarks are situated within the contexts of shifting social environments, from colonial to national, from national to global."--CD-ROM curatorial note
