Concept of the building:
“The Philippines needed a modern cultural center for operas, concerts, and plays, and he planned to achieve a
monumental one through its dimensions, elevations, and splendid decorations, and through its harmonious liens it would
symbolize an organ or a cathedral.”
Legislative Building (1926; now houses the National Museum of Fine Arts),
the Manila Central Post Office Building (1926),
reason why built in this location:
The Manila Post Office was strategically located by Daniel Burnham at the foot of Jones Bridge because of two reasons.
First was that the Pasig River could be used conveniently as an easy route for delivering mail and secondly, the post
office could be accessible from all sides including Quiapo, Binondo, Malate, and Ermita
Style of the building:
it was designed in the neoclassical style that expressed order and balance. It was built in 1926 and was worth one million
pesos. Fronting the huge, rectangular volume are the 16 Ionic pillars lined that are lined up above the steps just before
entering the lobby.[5] The main body of the building is capped by a recessed rectangular attic storey and flanked and
buttressed by two semi-circular wings. Inside, the main lobby has subsidiary halls at each end housed under the semi-
circular spaces roofed with domes.
