In his ingeniously curated and designed multimedia exhibit on Philippine plazas, Alcazaren packs a wealth of information into a compact space where the unlikely centerpiece is a real basketball half court, the type you’ll find in many congested barangays and the de facto plaza today of communities across the land.
Arranged around the half court are 15 detailed panels, with each devoted to a single heritage plaza, from north to south . Aerial photographs provide viewers with a rare perspective and hopefully a new appreciation for public treasures in plain sight. “Modernity has reared its ugly head in threats to the architectural heritage of structures that have framed and given character to our plazas,” Alcazaren writes in the exhibit brochure. “The sad reality is that, save for a handful, all our plazas need to be saved.”
