Art Deco Philippines: In search of modernity
In the Philippines, art deco found its way through the architects who had studied in America and Europe such as Juan Arellano, Andres Luna de San Pedro, Juan F. Nakpil, Tomas Mapua, Pablo Antonio, and Fernando Ocampo. They incorporated local motifs in their art deco designs of theaters and cinemas, hotels, apartments, mansions, schools, and government buildings.
