Francisco 'Bobby' Mañosa (born February 12, 1931) is a Filipino architect noted for his Filipino inspired architectural designs. Although he is best known as the architect of the Coconut Palace, his other notable works include the EDSA Shrine, the Davao Pearl Farm, and Amanpulo resorts. He is a National Artist for Architecture which was proclaimed by President Rodrigo Duterte on October 24, 2018.
Mañosa devoted his life’s work to creating a Filipino identity in architecture, advocating design philosophies that harken “back to the bahay kubo and the bahay na bato,” and other traditional vernacular forms. Mañosa became known for combining these traditional forms and indigenous materials with modern building technology to create structures he feels are be best suited to the Philippines’ tropical climate.
Personal life
Francisco Mañosa was born in Manila, Philippines. He currently lives in Ayala Alabang Village as a retired but decorated architect. He has 3 children, all of whom now work for the family company. Bambi, the eldest and only daughter, is the head of the interior design department of Mañosa & Co, as well as the Director of the Tukod Foundation. Dino acts as CEO of the entire Mañosa Group, and is the founder and CEO of Mañosa Properties. Francisco's youngest son, Gelo, continues his architectural legacy as the CEO of Mañosa & Co.
While not working on his projects for the company, Francisco Mañosa was also part of the jazz band The Executive Band. He played piano for the band. In 2012, Francisco Mañosa had a fall in which he cracked two vertebrae which had to be fused in order to heal. He also needed heart bypass surgery in order to repair a life-threatening ventricular blockage.
