Author Description

Containing over 600 new and 160 archival photographs, Philippine Church Facades is the largest visual compendium of Philippine churches built between 1565 and 1898. The 160 churches studies in the book come from practically all regions of the Philippines, from Luzon to Mindanao. A glossary of architectural terms appended to the book guides readers in studying these churches, while archival photos that parallel contemporary colored photos help them assess the improvement or havoc wrought on the churches in the last 100 years.
