Philippine International Convention Centre [1978]

Asia’s first international convention centre, Leandro V. Locsin’s PICC is a bold example of architecture fused with a political climate that seeks to project strength through its modernity in the guise of an elongated, interlocked concreted form. Known for their massive volumes, a study of Locsin’s works reveal finer grains in terms of a profound connectedness and a ‘spirited imagination of space’ (Devi De Veyra) with his PICC standing to the forefront of such a portfolio.
