PHILIPPINE PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINES Filipino Building Beliefs
I read about Filipino Building Beliefs by Architect Ernesto R. Zarate:
"The experienced Filipino architect is familiar with the common folk beliefs and usually follows them or applies these age-old guidelines in the planning of one's dream house.
Many of these beliefs are based on sound planning practices that do not have to be overly emphasized. Like, for example, orienting the building to take in the healthful effects of the rays of the morning sun by having wide windows facing the rising sun to take in the cleansing rays of sunlight during daybreak as well as to admit the prevailing southeast breezes to cool your house."
