The Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) is located in the same complex beside Manila Bay as the Cultural Center of the Philippines and designed by the same architect, National Artist for Architecture Leandro Locsin. It was officially opened as Asia's first international convention center when it hosted the September 1976 IMF-World Bank Meeting. Many other convention centers have opened in Manila since then, but the PICC remains the venue of choice for important conferences. With so many great-looking modern architecture in the metro, the PICC's wide and squat concrete and glass block no longer looks attractive either, but when the sun sets over Manila Bay, the PICC takes on a golden glow reminiscent of its glory days in the 70s and 80s.
By the light, I would guess early evening.
ReplyDeleteAME stands for African Methodist Episcopal.
I agree when you said the glory days of the 70's and 80's. It makes me reminisce.
ReplyDeleteGlorious, but we've been leapfrogged already by our neighbors... have a great day Hilds.
