    2. What contributions did Spanish and American architecture make to the
    architecture of the Philippines? In what ways do these perspectives affect
    preservation, conservation, and restoration perspectives?
    Spanish and American architecture had a significant influence on the country's architecture as a result of their colonial rule
    over the Philippines.

    Spanish colonisation introduced the Baroque architectural style to the Philippines, where it is especially prominent in
    churches. One of the most famous examples is the San Agustin Church in Manila, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The term
    "Baroque" refers to a sophisticated and lavish architectural style distinguished by grandiosity, curved shapes, and intricate
    embellishments. As a result of Spanish influence, "bahay na bato," or homes made of stone and wood, replaced the "bahay
    kubo," or simple bamboo huts, that were the standard in ancient Filipino architecture. Spanish architectural styles had a direct
    impact on the change in materials and design.

    During the American colonial era, the Philippines saw the construction of institutions and governmental structures using
    Neoclassical architectural styles. Many of the elements of this style were inspired by classical Greek and Roman architecture.
    An example is the Old Legislative Building in Manila, which is now the National Museum of Fine Arts. Americans introduced
    modern urban planning concepts and infrastructural improvements to the Philippines. This included constructing public
    structures with period-appropriate American architectural designs, as well as bridges and roads.

    Many churches built in the Spanish and American eras have significant historical and cultural significance. Initiatives for
    preservation aim to safeguard historic structures from damage and decay while keeping their original character. It's possible
    that certain colonial-era buildings are no longer used for what they were built for. Adaptive reuse is the process of adapting
    these structures to modern needs while preserving its historical significance and architectural integrity. One example is
    converting an old colonial administrative building into a museum or cultural venue. Colonial-era buildings frequently need
    knowledge of conventional building supplies and methods to be preserved and restored. This guarantees that any restoration
    work adheres to the original architecture. Participating local communities in preservation initiatives develop a sense of
    ownership and respect for their heritage. It aids in comprehending the significance of these structures historically and
    culturally. The old walled city of Intramuros in Manila features Spanish colonial architecture. To recover its historic appeal and
    draw visitors, the site has undertaken preservation and restoration work. A national historical landmark designation has been
    given to the area, which includes restored structures including San Agustin Church and Fort Santiago.
