tour de carlos: 1st leg

spent the morning with carlos in his first (and maybe only) antonio architecture & arts tour...

since i love midcentury design (and other stuffs, and carlos tours,...) i was really looking forward to this one -- and it didn't disappoint.

(oh, and love his outfit -- with the pop-pinoy undershirt and vintage short-sleeved barong)

here we are in our (1 of 2) bus, being escorted by wang wangs -- both fun and disconcerting.

our first leg: north syquia apartments, malate. architect unknown, although suspected to be pablo antonio.

the first thing i love about this building are the doors. (i love repetitive architectural elements).

even the screen is well-designed.

in the hallways are interesting pieces,

and a few funny signs...

the actual destination was the library room, carlos' office slash room-for-rent-for-a-dive-for-artists...

here's the view (a snippet of the bay -- used to be a full view of it)

some kitsch...

and more of the patterns...

and of course, if it's carlos' office... the hats have to be there somewhere...

so that was leg 1. more later :)
