Ebook: Edifice Complex: Pure, Myth, and Marcos State Architecture

“Gerard Lico's contribution to Philippine architectural history and criticism covers the late twentieth-century phenomenon of a distinctive, but slightly demented, architectural aesthetic wielded by a ‘conjugal dictatorship’ to legitimize its regime and perpetuate its power. It is this relationship between power and architecture that provides the framework and context for this book.” — Paulo G. Alcazaren
