Smilingly, Adeva admits he would take both anytime. Normally, the architect s fee is based on project cost. Of course, not all projects have a contractor. Although architecture is a science and an art, Adeva believes it is really an art and therefore, the architect is an artist. Citing Nakpil and Locsin as his role models, he claims he needs inspiration for his designs.
Inspiration is a mood.
I can finish a design, not including studies, in a day or a month, depending on my mood. Personally, Adeva likes American architecture. He says Philippine architecture is more eclectic with a very strong Spanish flavor. Ideally, the Filipino home should be well-ventilated with high ceilings. But we can t always have this due to existing space constraints.
