This was the site to first establish the presence of humans in the Philippines during the Pleistocene.  TABON MAN - The oldest human fossil evidence recovered from the Tabon Cave MANUNGGUL JAR S I G N I F I E S T H E B E L I E F O F E A R LY F I L I P I N O S I N L I F E A F T E R D E AT H.

These are located in elevated hills difficult to climb.  NOMADISM AND EPHEMERAL A As nomadism entailed constant movement, materials that were portable and demountable were requisites in design and construction. B Ephemeral architecture (short-lived architecture) was one of the first artifacts created by humans. The primitive lifestyle was essentially nomadic, needing a form of temporary shelter that utilized readily available materials with limited investment in time and energy. NOMADISM AND EPHEMERAL LEAN-TO Early Filipinos constructed a wind- sun-and-rain screen anchored by a pole or stick at an angle on the ground.

Tree houses are highly elevated to protect families living in isolated communities from the attack of animals and human enemies  TREE HOUSE - Perched on the forked branches of trees, 20, 40 or even 60 feet above ground - Used by Gadangs of Kalinga, Manobos, Mandayas, Moraos, Negritos, Bagobos PRE HISTORIC MEGA STRUCTURES RICE TERRACES A Throughout the Asia -Pacific Region, mountainous terrain, over the centuries, has been shaped into landscapes of terraced pond fields for the cultivation of rice and other crops. B The Rice Terraces of the Cordilleras is a masterpiece of pre-modern engineering and megalithic architecture. BANAUE RICE TERRACES BANAUE RICE TERRACES A T he a mount of s tones us ed by Ifuga o i n const ruc t ing t he sy stem of stone wa ll s, ca nal s, dam s and res er voirs of t he t errac es i s estimated to far exce ed in bu lk t hose use d in Pyramid s or in G reat Wall of China.

The builders, whether artisans or those planning to live in the buildings, are nonprofessional architects or engineers; 2. There is consonant adaptation, using natural materials, to the geographical environment 3. The actual process of construction involves intuitive thinking, done without the use of blueprints, and is open to later modifications 4. There is a balance between social/economic functionality and aesthetic features, and; 5. Architectural patterns and styles are subject to protracted evolution of traditional styles specific to an ethnic domain. Ethnic and Regional Ethnic Houses  ETHNIC AND REGIONAL ETHNIC HOUSES M OU NTA IN Coa stal an d In l an d BA H AY KU BO Dwel l i ngs H OU S ES  BAHAY KUBO The word “bah ay ” e volved from the word “ balai ”, a ver nac ular wo rd for ho use.

He classifies the Cordillera houses into the northern and southern strains. Northern: in the Isneg (Apayao) and Northern Kalinga house Southern: in the Ifugao, Bontoc and Benguet – Fale/Bale, Ibaloi, Kankanai, and Bontoc houses. KALINGA HOUSE  NORTHERN STYLE SOUTHERN STYLE A steep pyramidal or hip roof; A gable roof, sometimes with bowed rafters; A house cage, which among the Ifugao, A three-section, two-level, reed mat floor; and Kankanai, and Ibaloi is the living area, and among the Bontoc and Sagada, a granary Two sets of posts, one; floor-bearing and the other, roof-bearing. The house cage support consisting of four posts carrying two girders, in turn carrying three The space below the floor is not used. beams or joists.  NORTHERN STYLE SOUTHERN STYLE The Kalinga and Isneg houses have lateral platforms which are used as head-rests or In the Bontoc house, levels and clearly defined “pillows” and which provide space for storage. sections exemplify both a practical and ritual Platforms wide enough for sleeping create a organization of space play of levels in the Sagada house. INTERIOR DESIGN NORTHERN STYLE SOUTHERN STYLE NORTHERN STYLE  Isneg (Apayao Region) BINURON HOUSE Appears to have been influenced by boat design Roof : resembles inverted hull; gable type; half-section of bamboo laid on like shingles or thatch 15 post : 8 inner posts support the floor 6 posts support the roof 1 post (“atobtobo”) support the end of the ridge “tarakip” : an annex attached to one or both end of the ridge The Isneg house is about 8.00 m. long, 4.00 m. wide, and 5.50 m. high from ground level to the roof ridge The binuron house rests on a total of 15 posts, which are visible, the floor being about 1.20 m. above the ground. The slanting wooden walls on the sides are about 1.50 m. high from floor to eaves. The main section of the house has a gable roof and is about 6.50 m. long  (Upper Kalinga) BINAYON OR FINARYON HOUSE An octagonal (8 sides) house combines four (4) posts two (2) girders- three (3) joists support of the southern strain with the floor and roof construction of the northern strain. The space under the floor is not used. The octagonal form is not clearly pronounced in the wooden and bamboo walls. The octagonal house is about 6.00 m. long and 5.20 m. wide. The floor of the living quarters is 1.20 m. above the ground. The height from the ground to the roof ridge is about 4.50 m. The floor area is divided into one wide middle section (“dattagon”) and slightly narrow elevated side sections (“sipi”) “kinimpal” : roof system using several layers of bamboo  BATANES IVATAN HOUSE The dwellings are designed and built not only to withstand the battering of the most severe of storms, sea sprays, gust and rains, they are also built to overcome devastating earthquakes. With the knowledge of lime processing for buildings, the Ivatans are able to construct their more familiar house made of stone and mortar, known as the CAL Y CANTO SINADUMPARAN or MAYTUAB ⚬ One storey house with partially submerged basement used as storage depending on roof configuration.  BATANES IVATAN HOUSE RAKUH ⚬ Two storey house with very thick stone and lime masonry are topped with a gable or hip roof, an elaborately crafted truss system with combination of bamboo, reed, rattan and cogon thatch, called vuchid, sharply slopes down and is heavily fastened onto a ceiling. ⚬ Covered with roof net (panpe) as protection against violent winds and string rains. SOUTHERN STYLE  IFUGAO FALE / BALE HOUSE Three-level structure : stone pavement, house cage and roof Posts : shoulder height, support only the girders 3-level structure: floor/stone pavement, house cage , roof 3-level space within the house: the floor, the shelf, and the loft (granary) ⚬ walls: slaut outward ⚬ with ratguard (halipan): thin cylinders placed on the posts ⚬ roof: thatched, pyramidal, extends up to floor level ⚬ basket under second level ⚬ detachable stairs ⚬ slaughtered carabao and human heads displayed on front of their house ⚬ doors can be remain open ⚬ “hagabi” : bench under their house for socialization  BENGUET KANKANA-EY ⚬ BINANGIYAN, traditional house of Kankana-ey ⚬ The Kankana-ey house: ￭ a high, steep, hipped roof with the ridge parallel to the front. ￭ The roof drops, to about 1.50 m. above the ground, thereby concealing the house cage. ￭ The roof rests on the upper frame of the house cage, and the house cage in turn rests on a three joists-on-two girders-on-four posts structure. ￭ Under the house cage, broad planks laid slightly above ground level form a spacious platform that extends to the line of the eaves.  BONTOC FAYU HOUSE ￭ “Bontoc” is derived from the two morphemes “bun” (heap) and “tuk” (top), which, taken together, means “mountains.” ￭ The term “Bontoc” now refers to the people of the present Mountain Province, its capital, the people’s culture, and their principal language. ￭ FAYU HOUSE : basic form is like the ifugao house except that the quarters are on ground level and the house cage serves as the granary walls : up to waist level, leaving a continuous opening protected by the eaves “falig” : granary for richer people adjacent to their house has a lot of sections having specific names for its area is quite bigger
