1. PABLO S. ANTONIO (1901 – 1975) Year of Conferment: 1976
Born at the turn of the century, national artist for architecture Pablo Sebero
Antonio pioneered modern Philippine architecture. His basic design is grounded
on simplicity, no clutter. The lines are clean and smooth, and where there are
curves, these are made integral to the structure. Pablo Jr. points out, “For our
father, every line must have a meaning, a purpose. For him, function comes
first before elegance or form. The other thing that characterizes
Antonio’s structure is the maximum use of natural light and cross
ventilation.

9. Antonio believes that buildings “should be planned with austerity in
mind and its stability forever as the aim of true architecture, that
buildings must be progressive, simple in design but dignified true to
a purpose without resorting to an applied set of aesthetics and
should eternally recreate truth.
Antonio’s major works include the following: Far Eastern University
Administration and Science buildings, Manila Polo Club, Ideal
Theater, Lyric Theater, Galaxy Theater Captain Luis Gonzaga
Building, Boulervard Alhambra (now Bel-Air)apartments, Ramon
Rocess Publications Building (now Guzman Institute of Electronics).

responsible for designing everything you see at CCP complex, the
Cultural Center of the Philippines, folk arts theatre, Philippine

contribution is his belief that there is such a thing as Philippine
Architecture, espousing architecture reflective of Philippine traditions
and culture. It is also largely due to his zealous representation and
efforts that private Filipino architects and engineers, law, are now able
to participate in the design and execution of government projects. He
