3.0 RESULTANDANALYSIS
3.1 Present Forms of Vernacular Dwellings
Certainly, inhabited space is where man's domestic life occurs,
either defined by the house enclosure or physical elements,
spatial articulations, and by the events or activities that take
place in it. In short, there are dwellings with conceptual
thresholds, tangible boundaries separated by architectural
components and partitions, temporal or experiential spaces
marked by transition of usage as well as spaces demarcated by
specific functions, From a synthesis of two surveys conducted in
May 1996 and September 1997, types of dwellings andinhabited spaces in the highlands and lowlands were codified.
3.1.1 House Enclosure Elements
Space is hollow, limited internally and composed by physicalenclosure elements which include the following: plinth,framework, roof, floor or horizontal articulations, wall or
vertical articulations, openings, and architectural details likeceiling, interior partitions, facia boards and mouldings. A plinthis either a stone pedestal or a concrete foundation where a
column rests. Results of the survey are summarized in Figure 3,,
In Ifugao, plinths are noticeably exposed, while upon
verification, plinths in Iloilo are mostly buried. Exposed plinthsare related to easier transfer of dwellings. Present structuralframes of vernacular dwellings in both highland and lowlandbasically consist ofcolumns or posts, girders, floorjoists, plates,wal1 studs, and roof rafters. Materials vary from several species
of timber, bamboo and reinforced concrete, the utilization of
which being heavily dependent on the economic capacity of theinhabitants. Figure 3 shows the contrast between the two
provinces in the use of timber and bamboo. One similarity is in
the emerging use of concrete in vemacular clwellings.
Dominant types of roof in the highland are noted as the
pyramidal and gable-type, while the gable-type is more
common in the lowland, Other existing types are hipped roofs,
halfihipped roofs, and shed-type roofs, Oftentimes, interesting
pyramidal and gable roofs are adorned with dormer windows.Most common roofing materials in both provinces arecorrugated iron sheets, traditional woven nipa (a type of tropical
palm) and thateh,
In this study, the horizontal aspect of spatial relationships refer
to the level variations of liying spaces, [[1ierein, the manipulated
spatial character ef the enclosure were unified by: the grounditself, an artificial ground or platform, an elevated floor, a split-
Ievel flooring, or a two-storey level. Results generated from thisinquiry reveal that vernacular dwellings in the highland either
built their living spaces on an anificial ground (i.e. cemented
floor, timber floorboards) or elevated from the earth. While inthe lowland, dwellings were mostly built the split-level wayusing bamboo.
On the other hand, the internal space of the dwelling wasanalyzed within the parameter of venical articulations where
elements like columns or walls render an explicit space knownas: single spatial volume, spatially juxtaposed or adjacently
articulated spaces, spatially interpenetrated or interlocking
spaces, and single spatial volume with outside auxiliary spaces.
[lhese elements of spatial articulation characterize the degree to
which the space remains autonomously contained, related with
or linked to other spaces. [ftie survey showed that most of the
highland dwellings follow the pattern called single volume with
auxiliary volumes while lowland dwellings are done in spatial

genotype refers to the linkage of major space functions within
the dwelling, In the comparison of the plotted spatial diagrams,
one can construe images of cultural patterns where spatial
configurations basically interlock with lifestyles. The diagramscould illustrate the basic scheme of crowding of an average
family size of six members in single family-room dwellings.Likewise, the accepted practice of living by extended familysystems that prevail in Philippine regional societies could beseen in multiple-room dwellings, Further elucidated from the
review of spatial linkages between the Spanish or American
models and multiple-room type of vernacular dwellings are the
fo11owing influences: (1) emerging use of two entrances, (2)adoption of porch as transitional space, (3) allocation of the
living room as a prominent area in the dwelling, (4) commonorganizational link of living and dining area, (5) articulation ofservice areas at the rear of the dwelling, i.e. kitchen, indoor toiletor bathroom. It has been observed in the survey that everyday
activities or events express the physical geometry of the
dwelling. Basically, the function of communal space in a single
volume shelter is rnultiple, and becomes distinct as rooms are
added to the structure or as partitions are installed. The
multiplicity of functions occuning in Qne space at different time
intervals is a classic example of the concept called "scheduling
of space". Historically, the use of comrnunal space in highlandand lowland dwellings are PreHispanic patterns.
3.2 Attributions of Continuity and Change
Directing the attributions to the plurality of architectural styles
is a formalist approach which this paper tries to deviate from. It
is postulated by architectural critics of the late 20th century that
an inclusive or holistic study giyes a better review of dwellings.
A holistic approach is the consideration of integrated elements
which make a whole. Based on this inclusive viewpoint, we
categorically attribute the observed design transformations to
other modifiers ofdiachronic change namely; (1) Philippinehistorical events and policies dictating levels of socioeconomic
transition from proto-historic period to the present survey, (2)manner ef acculturation which include early trade contacts of
the Filipinos with neighboring countries, Spanish and Americancolonization and inter-regional migrations, and (3)technological innovation and emergence of domestic goodsgiving birth to new consumption and behavioral patterns. This
could be discerned in Figure 5. Transformation do speak of
larger issues, but is not design history an inquiry on the
multiplicity of factors causing transitions?
3.2.1 Modes of Spatial Design Transformation
Synthesizing the results from the types of house enclosures,
spatial compositions, functions and linkages, it is evident that
certain features and patterns did not simply evolve
diachronically with the historical styles known in Philippinearchitectural history. Thus, design transformation can becategorized into modal sets known as: (1) Typologic: Spatial
patterns resemble the PreHispanic archetype when obseryed
tradition, shared culture and source of livelihood remain intact
(2) Pragmatic: Spatial patterns resemble the PreHispanicarchetype but reflect basic change in size, materials or methods
as socioeconomic conditions improve. (3) Analogic: Spatial
patterns change people consciously imitate and translate the
Spanish, American and centemporary architectural styles, and
absorb the living patterns of other cultures in their abodes which
render an image not intrinsic to their area. (4) Canonic: Spatialpatterns change when forms and elements of dwellings indicatethe indiginized fusion of the PreHispanic archetype and all other
styles, thereby emerges as a new type of dwelling in the area
(refer to Figure 5). Therein, the quality of modal design
transfoimation of vernacular dwellings in Ifugao and Iloilo are
represented by an invariant known as typologic and variants
known as pragmatic, analogic and canonic,
4.0 DISCUSSION
Within the hierarchy of environmenta1 design fields arranged
in an inverted pyramid form which include from the top town
planning, urban design, architecture, interior design and lastly
product design, transformation is an outgrowth of different
dimensions of diachronic change. It is in this context that we
associate the elements of change and continuity in thecharacteristics of the dwelling and habitual spaces to certain
modifiers explained fLnther in this paper.4.1 Space and Historical Periods
Set against a generai historical background of the Philippines,the present index of inhabited spaces could be reinterpreted inseveral ways.
(1) House Enclosures - From primordial time, dwellings were
referred to as barometers of the prevailing social strata. In the
same note, certain events in Philippine history like the style of
town planning imposed by the Spaniards during the Spanish
periodlO which facilitated the colonial appropriation of landsettlements popularly known as friar estates.ii Funherrnore, the

land distribution and tenancy system developed during the
American period which are primarily geared towards global
trade; as well as land policies of the post-war decadgs':" wherein
proper land titling or blatant land grabbing either made
dwellings permanent or not in structure, i,e. use of stone plinths
and stable frames. Policies also nurtured the growth of
settlements lacking in infrastructures and widened the gapbetween the wealthy minority and poor majority. In this light,
the lingering social hierarchy redefines the PreHispanic
vernacular archetype as the dwelling of the common people,
mostly settled in underdeveloped communities.
(2) Spatial Compositions - Historical transitions were also
layered with some economic advantages and oPened
employment opportunities beyond the traditional jobs offarming and fishing. Apparently, the transition of single-room
dwellings with L-plans to multiple-room dwellings with linear
or cluster plans reduced the number of persons per room to
adequate human density standards, and enhanced the concept of
privacy within the family. Contemporaiy times also gave rise to
households with double incomes and rendered improvements in
space allocations which are reflected in sleeping room
segmentations between parents and children. As the typical
neighborhood also develops, there is less use of common
facilities such as in toilets and artesian wells.
(3) Spatial Fllnctions - During the mid- 18th century, majority
of dwellings in Iloilo province had a space for the frarne loom
due to a lucrative weaving industry,"3On one hand, the
construction of the national road from Manila to Ifugao in
1978i`encouraged micro trading between regions and inter-
provincial migrations which affected pTesent dwellings the less

significant fusion of PreHispanic and contemporary styles, As a
result, articulated spatial patterns have changed which spelled
both pragmatic and analogic modes of transfbrmation, A
pragmatic mode is observed in wider communal areas, pyramidroofs of corrugated iron, or the basic addition of windows and
counters. Furthermore, new norms of thinking were promoted
by the Catholic church and American schools through religious
and educational advices,"S implicitly touching issues on the
morality of communal sleeping, of bathing by the river, and
acceptable norms of hygiene like the use of pit-toilets. Thus,
washstands, indoor toilets and bathrooms have changed the size
of dwellings, [lhe analogic change could be attributed to layouts
of American chalets and Post-WQrld War II apartment units.
4.2 Space and Acculturation
Movement of people between counnies and regions filtered
in new customs and practices into the communities and such
were assimilated by the inhabitants into their local cultural
patterns resulting into another set of continuity and change.
(1) House Enclosures - It could be discerned that vernacular
orientations of layout in the dwelling and beliefs in building
constmction are still foliowed today. An example of which is the
elevation of living space always considers the number of steps
for good luck. The typical elevated dwelling in the highland
which employed new materials of precut lumber is not a new
type of horizontal articulation, but an old archetype brought
fbrward from the PreHispanic period; thereby essaying both
pragmatic and typologic transformations. While in Iloilo, the
commonly called balay or dwelling have been eclectically
mixed with influences attributed to the typical Arnerican chalet
and Spanish Antillan house popularly known as the bahay na
bato or house of stone (refer to Figure 4). Major infiuences in
present multiple room dwellings could be seen in the existence
of porch or foyers, of allocation of receiving areas, conidors and
sleeping quarters. This is a clear indication of the analogic mode
of transformation, On the contrary, the fusion of architectural
styles is not a simple matter of eclecticism, but also an
adaptation of the foreign styles to the regional peculiarities ef
the sites, Thus, a number of structures with pluralistic styles
have been observed which can be categorized as the canonic
modeoftransformation,
(2) Spatial Compositions - Dwellings in the highland and
lowland express more differences in house enclosures and
functions than the spatial compositions when compared with

their diachronic architectural precedents. Though most spatial
articulations are linear, the implicated differences are in how the
giyen interior space serve a single or extended householdcomposition. Therein, it follows that dwellings in both regionswith mere room divisions primarily house an extended farnily,oftentimes with two or more related households.
(3) Spatial Functions - The extent of assimilation that
transpired in Iloilo elicit observable patterns of habitations
which required a refunctioning of spaces or additional areas; an
occurrence of a lesser degree in Ifugao. Notably different amongthe two cultures lies in the multiplicity of domesticappropriation in the inhabited spaces, The existence of separate
living spaces, dapog or traditional farmhouse kitchen as
auxiliary kitehens, elevated kitchen counters, conidors, separate
sleeping quarters for the children and household altars in Iloilo
prove the occurrence of more changes. While, lingering spatial
functions of the rice granary, hearth, and common spaces forvarious functions in Ifugao are indications of a lessertransformation of everyday culture,
4.3 Spaoe Defined by Tedhnalogical Irinovation
Highland and Iowland dwellings also showed significant
distinctions in spatial organization as attributed to technological
innovation, The emergence of new materials, structural
methods, architectural components and domestic goodssubsequently created new modes of thinking and afliected dailyactivities. Architectural components include doors, windowsand toilet fixtures, while domestic goods include appliances,furniture and furnishings, It has been proven in a separate
studyiC that as materials, skills, and domestic goods develop,domestic interiors relatively undergo changes and contribute to
the aesthetic sense and values of the people.
(1) House Enclosures - Ihe field survey in both areas generatedsarnples of vernacular dwellings built with contemporary
materials. Corrugated iron sheets have replaced the thatch to doaway with the occasional repair or replacement, but fo11owed
the same pyramidal or gable forrn of construction. Concrete
hollow blocks, as partial walling material believed to resist theworst of tropical depressions are mixed with the traditional
woyen barnboo panels. Use of semi-processed lumber like
plywood and wooden mouldings for walls complement the
woven mats, both painted or lacquered for terrnite protection.
Windows are in several renditions like sliding, awning,
casement or shutter types utilizing various materials such as
plain galvanized iron sheet, glass and wooden jalousies. The
existence of elecnic faii not only replaced natural ventilation but
also changed the yernacular rudiment of window placements,Interior floorings are still made of bamboo or wood planks withthe addition of cement as a construction material, Apart fromcost factors, these plethora of materials rnade available in thecommunity lend the fusion of four design modes in presentdwellings. An econometric analysis conducted by Solon!"explains that "improvement in housing characteristics enhance
the health status of children", In the same manner, some
inhabitants of Ifugao and Iloilo adopt new fOrms of building
giving consideration to their health.
(2) Spatial Compositions - Sewage and solid waste disposal
system was a late development in Manila where a plumber doesnot even exist in a 1898- 1902 list ofjobs and wages,iS and most
likely inexistent in the previnces of Ifugao and Iloilo. 1996statistics show that 69.19% of households in Ifugao and 17.94%in Iloilo are without sanitary toilets. Water service coverage inIloilo is noted at 84% while Ifugao is placed at 6l .9%,i9 Tlie bigdifference of22,l% explains why some vernacular dwellingshaye no bathrooms, washstands with running water, especially
in peripheral communities, The recent addition of sanitary
plurnbing and potable water system in the existing spatial
morphology follows then the linear trend of placing serviceareas at the rear of the dwelling or the construction of an
auxiliary addition outside the main shelter frame, Refer back toFigure 4. People commonly express that the toilet or bathroomwithin the house interior is an expensive amenity in rural life,Thus, owners ofdwellings with toilets within the interior are
looked up to in the community.2U(3) Spatial Functions - The availability of furniture and
furnishings, appliances and architectural domestic goods have
affected the seating on the floor lifestyle of the common people,altered the spatial compositions of dwellings, the architectural
mensuration of built-in counters, and structural feasibility for'dead
loads'.2i Architecture have two types of structural load,live load for movement of inhabitants and natural elements likewind and rain, and dead load for weight of fUrnishings and
fixtures, Further affected are the communication patterns and
social interchange within the family. The placement of the
teleyision set in the living room notonly enlarged the space area,
but enhances family bonding and neighborhood relations. AIIthese censtrue a pragmatic transforrnation, i.e, physical changein spaces to accommodate the new fixtures, while analogic in

being similar to the American style of room aiTangement.
5.0 CONCLUSION
This paper synthesizes the survey undertaken in Ifugao
highland and Iloilo lowland and the conducted literature reyiew,
Significant findings are outlined as fo11ows: First, present spatial
enclosures of vernacular dwellings in both provinces come in
forrns which are distinguished as: forms related to PreHispanic
archetypes, forms bearing improyements ef the PreHispanic
archetype, forms expressing elements of foreign and
contemporary architecture, and indiginized foTms which
developed from the eclectic fusion of local and foreign
architectural elements. Second, spatial compositions of
highland and lowland dwellings construe minor changes as
expressed in basic linear plans. However, single spatial volumes
which are dominant in Ifugao still reveal an L-pattern, while a
cluster pattern is an emerging pattern in Iloilo dwellings. Third,
spatial functions are apparently different between the two
provinces as embodied in the sixty features of the patternlanguage which reyeal contrasting images in the use of space.
Fourth, spatial linkages illustrate some form of improvements
wherein morphologies result from factors concerning type of
family, i,e. single or extended, economic capacity of the
inhabitants, and adequacy of basic utilities, Lastly, all these
patterns found in present vernacular dwellings of Ifugao and
Iloilo constitute the continuity of old, emergence of new and
innovative renditions which are related to modifiers:
architectural styles, historical transition of the provinces, level
of foreign and inter-regional acculturation, and technological
innovation, Thus, within long time frames, spatial design can be
iconoclastically classified in four modes of transformation such
as: typologic, pragmatic, analogic and canonic.
