When the Spaniards occupied the Philippines, they replaced wooden structures with stone fortifications and cities. They used volcanic rock called adobe since it was more fireproof. Churches became the center of towns and were usually made of adobe or bricks. Later, stone churches with buttresses were built to withstand earthquakes. A significant architectural style introduced by the Spanish was the "Bahay na Bato", large stone houses built for the wealthy class. American architects like Daniel Burnham and William E. Parsons influenced the growth of neoclassical styles and infrastructure as the Philippines modernized under U.S. rule. Contemporary Philippine architecture continues to be shaped by modernization and globalization.

¿Para que sirve la Zonificacion en Arquitectura?Gabriel Quintana
La zonificación en arquitectura es un proceso de planificación urbana que implica la división de un área en zonas o sectores específicos, cada uno con un uso o función específica en la planificación y diseño del entorno urbano. La zonificación se utiliza para establecer normas y reglamentos que controlen el tipo de construcciones, usos del suelo, densidades de población y actividades que se permiten en cada zona.
El objetivo principal de la zonificación en arquitectura es lograr un uso eficiente y sostenible del suelo, garantizando que se satisfagan las necesidades de la población en términos de vivienda, comercio, servicios y transporte. Al establecer zonas específicas para cada actividad, se puede garantizar que las actividades más ruidosas o contaminantes se encuentren lejos de las zonas residenciales, o que las zonas de alta densidad se encuentren cerca del transporte público y los servicios.
La zonificación también puede ayudar a proteger áreas de valor histórico o cultural, o preservar áreas naturales y paisajes, estableciendo zonas específicas de protección ambiental o de patrimonio.
