PARTS OF BAHAY NA BATO | PHILIPPINE ARCHITECTURE

Bahay na bato (Tagalog, literally "house of stone") is a type of building originating during the Philippines' Spanish Colonial period. It is an updated version of the traditional bahay kubo. Its design has evolved throughout the ages, but still maintains the bahay kubo's architectural basis which corresponds to the tropical climate, stormy season, and earthquake-prone environment of the whole archipelago of the Philippines and fuses it with the influence of Spanish colonizers and Chinese traders. Thus created was a hybrid of Austronesian, Spanish, and Chinese architecture with American influence during the American era, supporting the fact that the Philippines is a result of these cultures mixing together. Its most common appearance is that of an elevated, overhanging wooden upper-story nipa hut (with balustrades, ventanillas, and capiz shell sliding windows) that stands on Spanish-style solid stone blocks or bricks and posts as foundation instead of just wood, bamboo stilts, or timber posts. Roofing is either Chinese tiled roof or thatch (nipa, sago palm, or cogon), of which many today are being replaced by galvanized or other modern roofing. It followed the bahay kubo's arrangements such as open ventilation and elevated apartments used as living space with the ground floor used for storerooms, cellars, and other business purposes. Like bahay kubo, much of this ground level was reserved for storage; in business districts, some spaces were rented to shops. Horses for carriages were housed in stables called caballerizas. Bahay na bato had a rectangular plan that reflected vernacular Austronesian Filipino traditional houses integrated with Spanish style.
It was popular among the elite or middle-class, and integrated the characteristics of the nipa hut with the style, culture and technology of Chinese and Spanish architecture. The 19th century was the golden age of these houses, when wealthy Filipinos built fine houses all over the archipelago.
The same architectural style was used for Philippines' Spanish-era convents, monasteries, schools, hotels, factories, and hospitals, and with some of the American-era Gabaldon school buildings, all with few adjustments. This architecture is still used during the American colonization of the Philippines. After the Second World War, building these houses declined and eventually stopped in favor of post-World War II modern architecture.
Today, these houses are more commonly called ancestral houses, due to most ancestral houses in the Philippines being of bahay na bato architecture.

Sana mareimagine ang bahay na bato ngayon. A modern bahay na bato that still has its core concepts of cooling the house without airconditioning.
Btw nice video. 😊

Philippine do not have traditional architecture or native local roof style and ornamentation, unlike in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Myammar, Vietnam, Laos, China, Korea, Japan, Bhutan, Mongolia and Timor have own architecture non-european influences, No herritage site, ancient ruin, local Royal Palace, castle, temple, traditional houses. Nobody know what Philippine architecture look like, except very minority group that also exist in Sabah like Maranao, Tausug, Iranun and Bajau-sama. Google Philippine architecture, or Philippine traditional architecture, almost non exist. but if you google, 'thai architecture', or "Sala thai", "Lak mueang", chinese architecture, indonesia architecture/joglo jawa, candi bentar, rumah gadang or Malaysia architecture/Malay architecture/Malay traditional houses or 'Balai adat Melayu', you can see thousand of result. Tagalog, Kampapangan, Pangasinan and Visaya a core majority and center of Philippines do not have architecture comparable to 'Sala Thai', or 'Balai Adat Melayu', or "Rumah Gadang' and 'Joglo Jawa'

[@GreatTasteMurder]

Pwede po malaman yung floorplan nya?

[@vinzorale3535]

Calado pala tawag don !!

[@leededios6885]

Nice subject but too stressful to watch due to fast pacing.

[@eng13b10]

Informative slide show, but the pacing is too fast and the text has various grammatical and typographical errors. Also, the pictures of the aljibe and the mirador aren't accurate. Lastly, "slaves"??? You do know that the Spanish Empire banned slavery, right?
