Weather is extreme in the Philippines. Yes, it rains everyday and floods all the time. And I'm talking the kind of floods we see in hurricanes in the States, not the 1 ft puddles we see on the playground after it rains. If the area on which you are laying your foundation isn't either high up on a hill or surrounded by an excellent irrigation system (it must be superb to handle Filipino rainfall) then your structure is better off not being built or being done awfully. It's easier to replace a tent than to fix a house with ply wood, dry wall, and an actual roof.

Why do Americans insist on making their houses out of cardboard? I love wooden houses, my dad is a carpenter, but we use actual planks for paneling and thick beams for structure. American houses just seem ludicrously flimsy.

this house has is built out of stone at the bottom and wood at the top

pretty cool

America is so fuckhuge you find practicly every sort of housing composition here. Modern houses tend to be build out of paper, but in most towns you still have houses from the 1800's or early 1900's that are pure brick and lumber.
You can still find a few houses or sheds build out of peat and wood scraps in the flyovers if you look hard enough

It's usually just a bunch of Chinks who dock on your town and live in their boats to whether off the storm. The permanent residents - the Chinese merchant colonists who stay behind - were no architects and were happy to live in the longhuts provided for them.

Then there's the Japanese/Chinese pirates - again, no architects among them- who lived in earthwork fortified bases along the river also in wooden huts.

Yeah, in some of the more settled tribes and the small kingdoms, Chiefs houses were situated in fortified village-estates known as "Kuta" (fort). Most of the Kuta were earthworks-palisade fortifications, but chieftains, rajas, and sultans of power built stone-dressed ones, which were a statement of power.

None of the Kutas survive now, largely because they were built on strategic locations that Spain too also saw this and built European style forts on them after conquering/acquiring/allying with a tribe. But Savidug Idjang in Batanes gives a good idea how they might've looked like: built on a carved hill with palisades up top.

what do these kutas look like? do their ruins still exist?

how easy would it be for Filipinos to kidnap a Chinese architect?

I just posted a "Ruin." If you could call a worked hill that.

Here's a scout's sketch of Bagsak Kuta (spelled "Cotta" by the Americans) during the battle of Bud Bagsak (Bagsak Mountain) during the American-Moro War. As you can see, it's basically a palisaded hill with its top flattened to accomodate the main dwellings."

Easy considering Pre-colonial Philippines was pirate-land and Chinese junks weren't all warships.

But hey probably were shortsighted idiots who held the nigga in exchange for ransom instead.
