ILDEFONSO
P. SANTOS JR.:
Portrait of the National Artist as a Landscape Architect |
| by
Nappy Navarra |
| That
I.P. Santos is a visionary has long been known by the peers he
has awed and the students he has inspired. Widely known as the “Father
of Philippine Landscape Architecture,” Ildefonso P. Santos
Jr. is credited to have been the brains, and oftentimes the brawn,
behind the establishment and flowering of the profession on our
shores. Early on, his passion for placemaking has been inextricably
intertwined with his tireless struggle to bring recognition to
the placemakers themselves, in a milieu deeply uninformed and
often critical of “those glorified gardeners.” In
June of this year, I.P. Santos was named a National Artist for
Architecture and the Allied Arts, an award that recognizes not
only one’s prowess in the art of turning spaces into places,
but more so, how one uses that prowess to serve the greater good. |

Abiol travels far and
wide to capture thought

| One thing
that has made me appreciate, cherish and respect the
essence of this profession is the experiences outside
of, and the time it keeps me away from the four corners
of an enclosed office. I have to admit, we (LA’s)
are a SPECIAL kind of breed! |
