us who they get their inspiration from
WHO IS YOUR DESIGN ICON?
“I have a handful of
architecture icons but, if I
need to choose a contemporary
one, John Pawson comes to mind.
His work reflects the strength of an
overall idea through thoughtful and disciplined
editing. His work is powerful in a quiet and
subtle way; not easy to do.”ANNA SY
RAMON ANTONIO“My design icon has always been my
father Pablo S Antonio, a National
Artist for Architecture! His timeless
works include the Manila Polo Club,
Far Eastern University, numerous theatres,
and other institutional buildings. He guided
me and has always motivated to always be
imaginative and to continually create!”“The designer of the moment

Eliasson, who just completed this
amazing building called Fjordenus,
which is submerged in water. His works
have an atmospheric quality, with elements of light,
water, and air.”CARLO CALMA

“My college mentor, Fr
Ramon Dodero. He made me
understand the importance of
scale and proportion, symmetry
and balance, and the discipline
needed to be a good architect!”
