N2  - The Sentrong Pangkultura ng Pilipinas has compiled in this book three essays on three major forms of shelter used in the Philippines, which have not been designed by professional architects: the nipa hut, the ethnic house, and the urban shanty. These essays have synthesized the in-depth documentation made by architecture students from all over the country on these houses, emphasizing the architectural form, cultural content, and aesthetics of space of these houses
