Maintaining Impermanence: Constructing Identity in the Philippines is an exhibition curated by Karina Encarnación, Alberto Martínez García, Sam Algas, Pericles Bien, and Marisa Crandall, showcasing the transformation of the archipelago’s built environment throughout its history. We examine the concept of impermanence in domestic architecture and how it has been challenged over the centuries, leading to a gradual erosion of cultural identities and a disconnection from the natural environment.
The exhibition will be at the North Gallery of the Yale School of Architecture, running from October 9 to November 15, 2025.
