Juan Nakpil
Remembering the life and works of National Artist Juan Felipe de Jesus Nakpil on his 37th death anniversary (May 7, 1986).
Juan Nakpil was a pioneer and an innovator in Philippine architecture. In essence, his greatest contribution is his belief that there is such a thing as Philippine architecture, espousing architecture reflective of Philippine tradition and culture. His major works include the altar of the ‘International Eucharistic Congress’, the dome and a second belfry of ‘The Quiapo Church’, ‘The University of the Philippines Administration and University Library’, and the reconstructed ‘Rizal House’ in Calamba, Laguna.
