(Luang Prabang,Laos)

1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural
wonder?

Foreign and indigenous influences can be seen in Luang Prabang through the exceptional fusing of  Lao traditional architecture and 19th and 20th century European colonial style buildings.Luang Prabang is an outstanding architectural ensemble built over the centuries combining sophisticated architecture of religious buildings, vernacular constructions and colonial buildings.It's unique townscape is  remarkably well preserved, illustrating a key stage in the blending of two distinct cultural traditions.The richness of Luang Prabang architecture reflects the mix of styles and materials.
The majority of the buildings are following tradition, wooden structures.  Only the temples are in stone, whereas one or two-storey brick houses characterize the colonial element of the town.  The several pagodas in Luang Prabang that are richly decorated with sculptures, engravings, paintings, gilding and furniture pieces.Many traditional Lao houses remain; they are built of wood using traditional techniques and materials introduced in the colonial period. Brick colonial buildings, often with balconies and other decorative features in wood. Foreign and indigenous influences reflected to my chosen architectural wonder through their architecture, how it was built,the materials that was used and the artistic designs and displays that can be observed and seen.

2.What are it's commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?

Luang Prabang's architecture and Philippine arechitecture are both known for being remarkably sophisticated and exceptional.
Both architecture reflects the mixture of styles and materials.Philippine as well as Luang Prabang involves vernacular constructions and colonial buildings.Both uses raw materials such as wood and stone as materials in building architectural structures.But unfortunately, unlike Luang Prabang that is remarkably well preserved, Philippine 's majority of heritage structures, especially in the provinces, were lost and never rebuilt. Most of the structures that were lost are considered a focal properties of former heritage towns.Only the city of Vigan has passed such an ordinance, which led to its declaration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and awarding of various recognition for the conservation and preservation of its unique architectural and landscaping styles.
Despite these differences, the Philippine Architecture and Luang Prabang's architecture are uniquely distinctive and beautiful.

3.What do you feel about this activity?

During the process of making the performance task, I felt the mixture of positive and negative emotions.As I was sliding the brush to create strokes of different colors,I felt calm and peaceful.
I was unbothered by the noises that surround me and focused on what I am doing.After a few attempts to add details I became frustrated for I wasn't good at painting and I kept making
mistakes that ruined the painting.I felt
gloomy for I also feel the urge to sleep and take a rest.But instead of giving up, I continued and I felt motivated and determined to finish the task despite feeling unwell.After finishing the painting of my reimagined architectural Southeast Asian wonder, I felt the satisfaction of finishing a work and was contented with the result.I felt a weird tingling of happiness inside of me that I finished the task even though I am not skilled in doing arts forms such as paintings.In the end,I appreciated the different architectures and felt proud that I came from a continent that is rich with cultures,beliefs,traditions.

4.What realizations did you have after finishing
the activity?

After finishing the activity, I had realizations
about the diverse architecture in Southeast Asia.
I gained knowledge on each of those architectural wonders and as I understood their culture and traditions, I was also amazed by their methods and ways of building several types of structures.I have a huge amount of respect towards each country and their culture and after finishing this particular activity, it increased above the clouds for I found them sensational.
In the process of doing this activity, while observing the pictures of the architectural wonders and structures, I noticed that these architectural structures are extremely detailed and artistic.They aren't just structures that was purposely built for us to stay in, it also reflects and symbolizes the place's indigenous tradtions and cultures,their beliefs and even colonial influences.After finishing the activity I learned and realized that we need to preserve and conserve the country's heritage sites, which other's have been demolished one at a time in a fast pace due to urbanization,culturally-irresponsible development, and lack of towns-cape architectural vision.We need to give emphasis
,appreciate, and preserve architectural marvels, and entire cities as a whole, for hundreds of years and possibly more.

1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural
wonder?
The foreign and indigenous influences reflected on my chosen architectural wonder by its wonderful structure, as it was the tallest structure in Southeast Asia. It reflected my architectural wonder as the floor plan of the construction of the Petronas Twin Towers is similar to the Islamic symbol of Rub el Hizb. It is mostly similar to another structure called Qutub Minar, which is the "victory tower" of India. The Grand Hyatt of Manila is the Philippine architecture that they have in common.
2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?
The Grand Hyatt in Manila is my Philippine Architecture is my best pick to the Twin Towers. It's commonalities are they are the tallest building,  they are both found on Southeast Asia, they are both hotels, and they both are tourist attractions. Their differences, on the other hand, are the Petronas Twin Towers is a hotel-headquarter company building, while the Grand Hyatt in Manila is a hotel-skyscraper building, they can be found in different countries only, and the owner of the Twin Towers KLCC Property Holdings Bhd, while the Grand Hyatt in Manila is George Ty or the Federal Land.
3. What do you feel about this activity?
When I make this activity, I feel enjoyable in making it as I was going to make my favorite Architectural Wonder. Second, I feel amazed because after I finish the activity, I was surprised of what my output had been.
4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?
My realizations that I have after finishing the activity is that every architecture of what we have made inspires us to make them a version of our own, or drawing or painting it to satisfy your work and love to your favorite architectural wonder. In Southeast Asia, we treat our architectural wonders as the buried treasures of the Earth, knowing their origins, why did they make it, and their capability or purpose today.

The Petronas Twin Tower structural system is a tube in tube design, influences by Islamic design. This 88-floor tower are largely of reinforce concrete, with a steel and glass  façade design into resemble motifs found in Islamic art. This architectural wonder in a distinctive postmodern style was chosen to create a 21st Century icon for Kuala Lumpur.

The Petronas Tower architectural structure is common to the Philippines since this is designed to Islamic art which is also common to the structural design of our Islamic buildings and mosque. The difference is that it is so tall that masks it different from the structure we have in our country.

I feel great because I was able to develop my potential in drawing. Though I'm not really that good but at least I have done something.

After finishing the activity, I realize that our wisdom and knowledge must be use to create wonderful features. That as human being we all have the potential to

Guide questions for Reflection:
1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural wonder?
- Given in this chosen architectural wonder of mine, I pondered that it's evidently reflected on how dithyrambic the original creators are because this structure is obviously nice and is also hard to make. Also, I observed that this architectural wonder is made up of stone, and I believe that stones are not invented by them so I have pondered out that it is influenced by other people from different countries, or should I say the foreign ones. I also think that these temples are also influenced by other countries because it is not the oldest Hindu temple in the world after all, because the most ancient one is located at India. Therefore, the stones, and the other materials, are of course, influenced by foreign influencers.

2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?
- As what I've noticed in the Prambanan Temple Compounds, I have observed that it's kind of similar to the Fort Santiago in the Philippines which is why I've combined these two together in my drawing. I can see that they have similiarities such as that both are made of stone, and also stone bricks. Also, they're ancient and have great roles in their history and also up until now. However, they also have their differences, such as that the Prambanan Temple Compounds is for rituals or for praying purposes, while Fort Santiago is an ancient jail and dungeon during the Spanish Colonization. Also, Fort Santiago is kind of a gate to the Intramuros, the walled city of Manila and it's composed of only one structure, while the Prambanan Temple Compounds has many temples and structures everywhere.

3. What do you feel about this activity?
- In this activity, I felt so great because I get to draw Fort Santiago which is my future first destination once I get older and travel a lot, and I also love this for being so historical and reflect thousands of historical records and beings from the Spanish times. Also, I love drawing the Prambanan because it's also historical, and I love historical things. Even though it was kind of hard because I lack materials that will fulfill the very best result, I still did my best. All in all, I felt great in doing this activity even though there are a lot of hindrances.

4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?
- After finishing the activity, I realized how beautiful the creations of Lord are, even though it's already ancient and old-fashioned. I see how passionate the people are in their beliefs because they even made many ravishing temples to honor their gods. Also, I saw how amazing the culture of Indonesia is, as I have conducted a short research about their beliefs and culture. I realized that every part of this world lies a beautiful spot. We may not see it directly, but with further researches and your passion to achieve and seek that truth, you'll always see that everything has a beautiful side. Just like us humans. I realized that, we all have various faces, unique personalities, which makes us individually beautiful. We all have our different kinds of beauty, and in order to fully nurture and see it, you need to be positive and optimistic in life for I believe that in every cloud lies a silver lining. Everyone and everything in this world is beautiful, for we're all created by our dearly beloved God. We're all beautiful, even despite of our imperfections.

Petronas Twin Towers, Malaysia

1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural wonder?

Petronas Twin Towers was made by the Argentine-American architect, Cesar Pelli. It was inspired by Malaysia's culture and portray Islamic influences within both its interior and exterior construction. Basically, this tall tower was influenced by the religion Islam. The steel and glass facade was designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art. The 88 storey building was the tallest building in the world up to 2004 when it was surpassed by Taipei 101. It may not be the tallest building in the world right now but it will remain as an iconic landmark in Kuala Lumpur that was influenced by the Islam religion.

2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?

Studying the Malaysian and Philippine architecture was really hard. I was finding solid proofs to support my opinions and ideas until I finally came up with one. I have noticed that when architects design/make these landmarks, they don't forget to include their country's style and would always use their tradition or religion as the leading idea for the construction of the building. As for their differences, aside from using different construction materials, I have noticed that most landmarks here in the Philippines were mostly influenced by the classical period of the country making the landmark more historical and nostalgic to look at. As for Malaysian architecture, I have noticed that it was a complex mix of Islamic design, colonial control and traditions of Asia. Both differ in many ways as both countries have different traditions but these 2 architectures are outstanding because they include the elements from the place that they've come from.

3. What do you feel about this activity?

I felt hesitant at first. We all felt that feeling when we are unsure of what's ahead of us, what's waiting for us and that's what I felt. I was worried because I never tried painting. I thought at first that it has the same feeling as coloring a drawing using colored pencils but paintbrushes were way harder. Every stroke you make defines what you feel about yourself and those little things while making the project. So, I told myself that I can do it because after all, I'll never know what's up for me unless I walk onto that path that's meant for me.

4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?

I realized that I should focus more of what I'm able to do, my capacities instead of focusing of what I may not be able to do. My work is not that impressive but I kept myself positive.

I realized that every country's landmarks or artworks should be given recognition no matter what their influences were based at. A facade should not be a basis of an artworks quality but the reason why it was made. Every country's artworks, whether influenced by religions or not, should be appreciated because after all, coming up with the idea to make an artwork is definitely not easy.

1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural
wonder?

I think it can be reflected in two ways. The first one is through the materials used in building my chosen architectural wonder. The second one is through how it appears. The appearance of it is also a reflection of the foreign and indigenous influences.

2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?

The commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture is that they are both built with durable materials and that is what makes them common.
The difference is that, Philippine architecture is just simple and it doesn't need to be very extravagant.

I feel tired. Although I feel this way, it doesn't mean I did not enjoy it. I feel happy because I got to finish this activity and I also got to paint again.

4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?

I realized that art doesn't have to be perfect. The flaws of your art is what makes it art itself. I also realized that being creative and thinking out of the
box will be a big help in making something.

Its commonalities to the Philippine architecture is that they are both wonderful and they are also good for touring. Their differences is that they have different structure and have different location.

3. How do you feel about this activity?

I feel tired while making this activity, and it was hard for me because I don't know much how to paint. I also have a hard time painting the little figures because I don't have a paint brush for little figures. When i am done doing it I felt very happy.

4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?

My realizations that I have after finishing this activity are when you are painting you should have different sizes of paint brush because you will have a hard time in painting if you only have one paint brush. And when you are doing something you should always think positive and always work for it to make it faster to be finished.

1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural wonder?
Answer:
As I have looked at my chosen architectural wonder that I painted, I can really say that it was sensationally influenced by both foreign and indigenous influences. Through this, there's no doubt that diversity really matters. There's no such thing here on earth that is made alone. Everything was made by a mixture of foreign and indigenous influences. Lastly, I can say that my chosen architectural wonder has both foreign and indigenous influences by focusing on its history and on its appearance as well.

2. What are commonalities and differences to the Philippines architecture?
Answer:
The Petronas Twin Towers has pleasing appearance same as other architectural wonders in the Philippines. Moreover, amidst the unique backgrounds and appearances of different architectural wonders that each of the countries have, we can say that all of this are passionately and wonderfully made by our ancestors. On the other hand, the Petronas Twin Towers has a modern vibe in contrast to the architectural wonders of the Philippines which have an old vibe or shall I say, an ancestral vibe.

3. What do you feel about this activity?
Answer:
While doing this activity, I realized that it was tiring for the person who doesn't have talent in painting like me. It takes time in doing this kind of activity. You need to exert effort in doing this activity and you need to be patient. The emotion reflects of what you are doing.

4. What realization did you have after finishing the activity?
Answer:
As I have finished this activity, I realized that I have to exert so much effort, time, and talent to successfully finish it. Aside from that, I also felt a feeling of satisfaction within me because I didn't expect this to happen. I really don't have a talent in drawing but if you really pushed through yourself to a thing that you love to do, everything will flow smoothly as if nothing is hard. Lastly, I came to a realization that in everything we do, we must be passionate enough to accomplish it successfully and wondrously.

1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural
wonder?
- It reflects both foreign and indigenous influences on my chosen architectural wonder. It is because it should always include hardship and perseverance in building structures. I can observe that we Filipinos, and also foreigners, are hard-working people to make a specific structure to accomplish its specific purpose.
2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?
-  The commonalities are that the temple was made for their religion and we have also made our own, but instead of temple, the Filipinos made Churches and Mosque. Both are religious that honor and worship their God. The differences I noticed is that the Shwezigon Pagoda uses Copper plates unlike the architecture of the Philippines. Also, the people who made the temple have different religion compared to our religion here in the Philippines.
3. What do you feel about this activity?
-  I was glad that we have to use paint for this activity since I haven’t use my poster paint and watercolor for like a year. Painting was not my skill, and I was able to improve it because of this activity. I have also discovered some techniques and strategies in painting.
4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?
- I have realized that painting one of the architectural wonders of the SEA was remarkable. It gives more beauty to its structure. We can see its purpose once you’ve finished painting it. I also hope we can do this more often.

1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflects on your chosen architectural wonder?

Marina Bay Sands is the architectural wonder that gained my interest. This architecture is actually a Foreign Direct Investment, which by means operated by an American company. This impressive mega-structure is now a wonderful tourist spot and lots of jobs were created because of this building.

2. What are its commmonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?

The similarities that I have noticed between the two countries, is that both have built unique and impressive architecture. They are also both influenced by other foreign sources. Now, the difference between them is how Singapore has more massive structures, has elegance and deluxe added to their architectures. Singapore's architecture is also very westernized. Meanwhile Philippines, is developed with influences in Malay and Spain. With result of a natural growth. Our architecture is more of a classical type. However, slowly adapting to westernized culture of architecture.

3. What do you feel about this activity?
Doing the activity, I had fun and enjoyed it. Although, I was also very frustrated because I'm not really good with the field in painting and drawing. But, I managed to create this artwork even through my frustration and caused great joy to myself.

4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?
When I finished the activity, I realized a lot of things. I realized the great capability of Southeast Asians to build and create massive and wonderful structures, the amount of innovation and hardwork they put into. I also gained knowledge of the history on a particular architecture. While doing the activity, I learned that we should believe in ourselves and don't give up, even if we do not excel in that field. Also, We should add effort and passion to create a beautiful artwork.

Guide questions for Reflection:
1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural
wonder?
- Cau Vang or the “Golden Bridge” in Vietnam’s Ba Na Hills has attracted scores of tourists since it opened in June, eager to see a novel piece of architecture famed for its unusual design. This Golden Bridge was designed to evoke the image of the “giant hands of Gods, pulling a strip of gold out of the land,” said Vu Viet Anh, Design Principal at TA Landscape Architecture. The construction of the bridge started in July 2017.  The height of  the bridge is 1.400m above sea level and stretches about 150m long.
Conceived in the boom years of the Roaring 1920's but constructed during the depths of the Great Depression, the Bridge represents American perseverance and determination.

2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?
-The similarities that I have noticed in my chosen artwork is that they both represent God and are uniquely built that shows such wonderful features. On the other hand, the differences between Cau Vang and San Agustin Church is that Cau Vang is a bridge in Vietnam and San Agustin is a church located in Manila, but if we compare Cau Vang to the other bridges in the Philippines, in my own perspective, Cau Vang is more unique, than the bridges that can be found in the Philippines (bridges that I only know)
because of its structure that makes the tourist get attracted and in loved by the overlooking view. But if we dig dipper and explore more about the different kinds of bridge that can be found in the PH, we may differ them well and add our opinions.

3. What do you feel about this activity?
-When this activity was announced, I have felt excitement all over my body but at the same time, worried of what will be the outcome of my artwork, because I am not really good in this kind of platform like painting. I am not fond of doing this activities like painting (maybe sometimes, if I am bored). I also struggled a bit of what will be my inspiration for the artwork, because all of the examples are all unique, but at the end, I choose the easy one. During the activity, I am absolutely having fun, even though its kinda hard for me, what's important is I am learning, exploring new things and exerted my very best.

4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?
- At the end of the activity, I realized that Southeast Asians are indeed very talented, they exerted their effort to build and design this kind of structures, that's why some of their structures we're kinda hard and complicated for me to draw. I also realized that being positive and willingness to do this kind of activity is important, because if you think negative thoughts, the possible outcome of your output will be ugly or not the one that you expected, like in my situation my expectations were different from the outcome of my artwork, I thought it will be good or somehow passed my expectations, well it kinda passed though, well atleast I tried my very best, or maybe its not the best.

-The foreign and indigenous influences reflected on my chosen architectural wonder is the colors, formation of the structure and others. And also their different traditions and cultures.

2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?

- Their commonalities is that Philippine architecture has bridges too. Like San Juanico Bridge in Philippines. Therefore, San Juanico  Bridge and Cau Vang are same bridges. And their difference is that the Cau Vang has a giant hands holding the bridge while San Juanico Bridge don't have.

3. What do you feel about this activity?

- I felt happy and challenged at the same time because I'm not that good at painting and drawing but I didn't give up to finish my artwork. And I really enjoyed painting it. And also I had fun because painting is fun to do.

4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?

- The realizations that I had after finishing the activity is that painting is not easy. It takes a lot of time to finish your output. You have to be patience in painting. And I realized that painting is fun to do. And we should discover, appreciate and value the different architectural wonders of every country.

1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural wonder?
The Cau Vang or the "Golden Bridge" in Vietnam's Ba Na Hills has attracted scores of tourists since it opened, eager to see a novel piece of architecture famed for its unusual design. As I searched about this architectural wonder, I've seen so many feedbacks from those people or tourists who came and experienced to walk in Cau Vang. Some people said that the feeling while walking to the bridge was like you're walking on the clouds because of its outstanding view and comfortable ambiance, and also the clouds in the sky are visible and seems like you can already be able to reach it. While, other people, said that it's like walking through the hands of God. This place may be look simple unlike others, but the help of it to other people who especially, experiencing depression and illness are very good and highly appreciated.

2. What are the commonalities and differences to the Philippines architecture?
Filipinos can also be able to build or make a bridge but not like as Cau Vang. For me, regarding to the materials used, Vietnam has a lot of strong or authentic materials compared to Philippines. But even though, Philippines is competitive and can be able to catch up to other countries. We are still good regarding to architecture, same as Vietnam. Both countries has different style and unique way to shine.

3. What do you feel about this activity?
It's been my pleasure to draw and paint such a wonderful architectural from other country. It is an artwork to be proud of.

4. What realization did you have after finishing the activity?
That, we people, doesn't need to ask or question which country is the best or which architectural wonder is the most beautiful because I believe, each country has their own uniqueness and own understanding or definition of beautiful. All of the creation such as architectural wonders from different countries are made with full effort, sweat, and hardships. You shouldn't rate it based on the appearance but instead, appreciate it because it is made.

Foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural wonder by knowing the things that we usually or often see and what we rarely see.

2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?
The commonalities to the Philippine architecture are that they represent their country and one of the materials that they used is stone while the differences are that Philippine architecture mostly uses wood and simple while Vietnam Architecture is metal and elegant.

3. What do you feel about this activity?
I feel happy, nervous, and sometimes stressed about this activity because it is my first time painting and I hope that the project will have a great result and I want to make sure that the visage of the painting is not bad.

4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?
My realizations that I have after finishing the activity are that I shouldn't have to think about the negative thoughts and always think positively to avoid myself being stressed out.

1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural wonder?

The architecture of Marina Bay Sands is influenced by many foreign and indigenous styles of construction
The Indigenous influences, which includes the architecture or vernacular Malay houses, local hybrid shophouses, and black and white bungalows, are reflected as the styles of these traditional architectures is included inside the chosen architectural wonder. On the other hand, the foreign influences from the Western, such as the famous French "Art Deco" style, International Style modern architecture, and the British "Brutalist" style of architecture, are reflected as these styles are utilized during the construction of Marina Bay Sands and are shown clearly in the outer part and its design.

2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?

There are not that much commonalities between them as they both come from different countries, but they do have many differences.
A commonality of Marina Bay Sands and Philippine architecture is that both of them are influenced by Western culture and indigenous architecture. Another commonality is that both are using some similar materials and similar way of construction.
The difference of Marina Bay Sands to the Philippine architecture is Marina Bay Sands is more luxurious and embraces the western architecture more than the modern and traditional architecture of Philippines. Another difference is the influence of foreign and indigenous on both architectures. The Marina Bay Sands is more influenced by the modern foreign styles of the Western culture. Meanwhile, the Philippine Architecture is more influenced by the old foreign Spanish style and the old Philippine style.

3. What do you feel about this activity?

During and after the activity, I felt many emotions and feelings. I felt stress, struggle, doubt, and pride. I felt stress as the deadline was closing in and I did not yet have painting materials. I felt struggle during the process of painting as I was full of doubts. I doubted my paintwork as I wanted to improve it more, yet my materials were not enough. But even through these, I finally accepted my paintwork and felt proud for how nice it is, for me.

4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?

I went through realizations throughout the activity. One of them was the importance of the architectural wonders and the reason we should preserve and beautify them. These architectural wonders served as the showcase of the artistry of humans in the modern and ancient times and how they utilized the influences of foreign and indigenous architecture. One of them as well was the artistry and creativity of Southeast Asians in the ancient and modern world and how their creations became one of the milestones of the modern human era. I realized more things than these but the most important realization I had, for me, was that no matter the place, time, and circumstances, our imaginations and creativity are never limited by anything and anyone.

FYI: I don't know why but the camera flash made the artwork seem darker, though if I don't use camera flash the artwork would be kind of dirty.

The Cau Vang or the "Golden Bridge" in Vietnam  attracted a lot of tourists and when I did some research about wonder, I've seen so many good rates from those  tourists who went and had the opportunity to experience to walk in Cau Vang. people say that the feeling when walking to the golden bridge was like you're walking on the clouds because of its outstanding view and comfortable ambiance which gives the a lot of chills, and there are also clouds in that are visible that makes an illusion that you can reach it. Some  tourists says that it's like walking through the hands of God. So what I did is that I combined the cau vang together with the famous chocolate hills in bohol.

For me, the commonalities and differences to the philippines architecture is that filipinos has the ability to build bridge like the cau vang but not like as strong and historical than cau vang in vietnam because for me, regarding to the materials used, Vietnam has a lot of authentic ans stronger materials compared to Philippines. But even though, Philippines has the ability  to catch up to other countries.

Naysa Joelle Fabe.

1.) How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural
wonder?

The foreign influence that I added was the colorful lights feature of the Ysalina Bridge from Cagayan de Oro City. I added it because I thought it would look cool with the Cau Vang. It was also compared to two other bridges in Asia as I researched. Many tourists visit this magnificent golden bridge because they feel as though they are walking through the " hands of God ". It makes them feel relaxed and calm as they take in the peaceful ambiance that surrounds them. The design of the Cau Vang was inspired by the natural setting and mythology of God. It was designed to appear like a golden ribbon that is like " a path between heaven and earth " that is held by God.

2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?

The Philippines also has lots of bridges, but they differ in the appearance. Philippine bridges are usually simple and the visual doesn't really captivate / appeal to the eyes of the tourists, yet many tourists visit the Cau Vang because it looks marvelous. They also differ in terms of history. Vietnam has a different culture and so does the Philippines.

3. What do you feel about this activity?

Initially I was stressed out and frustrated because I was originally planning to draw the Swezigon Pagoda but then I lost the paper so I drew the Cau Vang. Then I began to enjoy and relax while drawing it. I was glad to be able to finish it even though I'm impatient. The outcome makes me proud because I really am not that gifted in drawing / painting but this work looks okay and decent.

4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?

I realized that all countries have different art forms and sculptures, and architectures, and that we should be respectful of that. I was also enlightened  that one should enjoy the process of art. That we shouldn't rush things and go with the flow.

1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural
wonder?
-  There is hardly any foreign influence I can cite on the Cau Vang, the indigenous influence however, can be reflected because of how the people believe that it is the hands of God holding the golden bridge and how much cultural value it has for the people and tourists.
2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?
- The commonalities I can cite is the mountainous terrain and it's beautiful view on top of mountains. One of the difference is the way it is built because the Philippines' way of building bridges is quite common unlike Cau Vang which is built in a more creative way using sculptures of hands instead of those long poles to support the bridge.
3. What do you feel about this activity?
- I felt stressed when I started because I didn't know what to do and the stress slowly faded when i was sketching and painting. I also felt satisfaction after finishing the painting and I was happy that I finished the painting before the deadline. In short, it was a fun yet challenging activity and I mostly enjoyed it.
4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?
- I realized that there are much more beautiful architecture around the world and that we must appreciate each one and respect the people who made them for creating such wonderful architectures. Also, I realized that we can also make these types of architectural wonders if we have the determination and courage to build them.

1. How are foreign and indigenous influences reflected on your chosen architectural

Wonder?
The Prambanan Temple reflects the religious practices of the early people in Indonesia. Through the architectural wonder’s complex parts and applied techniques, it is able to showcase its indigenous influences - from its purpose and origin. The Prambanan Temple is unique of its kind, it has not shown any foreign influences but only indigenous influences. It is part of Dharmic Architecture, which is architecture classified under religion, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism in Indonesia. The Prambanan Temple was able to reflect this by the complexity of it, it is composed of not only one building but multiple. In fact, it is composed of one central temple and five others, totaling six. Its insides are made up of wood carving walls showcasing Indonesia’s history through epics. The walls and pathways in the Prambanan temple are really thought of. Because of Prambanan Temple’s complex components, it was able to showcase its indigenous influences from the religion of Hinduism and Buddhism. Thus, what makes it an architectural wonder is how well these complex components go together and provide a one of a kind experience to the people in Indonesia and foreign visitors.

2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?
As I analyzed the characteristics of Dharmic Architecture in the Prambanan Temple to the Philippine Architecture, I realized that the two are full of similarities and differences. However, the significant ones that I am most interested in are the origin or influences of each architecture. Both the Philippines and Dharmic Architecture showcase the history of their own countries. For instance, the Philippines Baroque Church in Paoay is a product of the colonialism of the Spanish, which is a significant part of the country’s history. The Dharmic architecture in the Prambanan Temple, on the other hand, showcases the history of how religion evolved and became an essential part of Indonesia’s identity.

The differences between the two architectures are their origin or influences. Philippine architecture is influenced by Western architecture. This is shown in the type of architecture applied in the Church in Paoay - Baroque Architecture. Although most of the Philippines ’ architecture is influenced by colonialism, it did not fail to show its “Filipino-ness”. In contrast to the architecture of Prambanan Temple, the Dharmic architecture did not have any foreign influences since Dharmic architecture focuses on the religion in Indonesia alone.

3. What do you feel about this activity?
I feel delighted because drawing and painting are my talents at the same time hobby. Since I was little, I was fond of drawing and creating designs that developed my artistic skills. I also feel buoyant to have learned the different kinds of architectural wonders in Southeast Asian countries.

4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?
Throughout this activity, I realized that Southeast Asia has so many architectural wonders that will leave anyone in awe. It has foreign and indigenous influences that are reflected in the design of artwork and in the making of a craft or artifact. Additionally, I have also realized that being passionate and patient is essential in this task. However, the exhaustion that I'm going to go through is all worth it because I had a positive mindset that I am going to enjoy the activity and make my artwork wonderful. Being passionate and patient helped me in making my artwork. Having a passion for making the artwork taught me that I can be more than I think I can. It drives me to push limits at the same time, patience taught me that creative ideas do not come immediately; it takes time. Hence, I was able to make my artwork more creative and divergent. Indeed, this task taught me a lot of values to overcome the challenges that I am going to face.

wonder?
-Foreign influences reflected on my chosen architectural wonder because instead of putting the exact roof of my chosen Philippine Architecture which is the Quezon Hall of the Philippines, I put the roof of the Xieng Thong. And at the both sides instead of putting the connect wall of the Quezon Hall I replaced it with a temple in both sides just for a design but the main in the drawing is really the hall.

2. What are its commonalities and differences to the Philippine architecture?
-The commonalities of the the foreign architecture which is the "Xieng thong" to the Philippine Architecture which is the "is the "Quezon hall is they are both have the same base which is square-like, they both have their cultural and own designs. The differences of the Xieng thong and the Quezon hall is they have different design. The Quezon hall's roof is flat while the roof of the Xieng Thong is triangular.
3. What do you feel about this activity?
- I feel happy doing this activity because I was able to draw one of the known structure in Southeast Asia and I was able to combine it with a Philippine Architecture which is the Quezon Hall. I feel happy and shocked of my self because I wasn't expecting that I can do something like this because I have no such talent in drawing. The effort I exerted in doing this activity is worth it because I was able to finish the output.
4. What realizations did you have after finishing the activity?
- In this activity, I realized that in different countries here in Southeast Asia we all have different and unique design of our own architectural structure. The designs of our own structures represents and makes our country known because of the design and also because of the uniqueness of our structures. I also realized that every structure you have in your country are very important and it should also be take care of so that we can still preserve this structure and the next generation can still see how beautiful the wonders does our generation have.
