Beyond Architecture

There is, perhaps, no better reminder to reassess one’s life goals than to witness a remarkable man celebrate his 86th year, surrounded by family and friends, with an exhibit of his life’s work at the National Museum.

—a retrospective exhibit on the life and works of the architect Francisco “Bobby” Mañosa—was launched last month with a simple but elegant opening ceremony amidst Luna’s and Hidalgo’s at the National Museum’s Hall of the Masters. Immediately following the programme, guests were ushered to the Trustees Hall on the fourth floor and taken on a guided tour of the exhibition by members of Mañosa’s family.
