The Ramon Cojuangco Building (RCB) is an International style office building in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines.
The Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) would commission a design for an office building along Makati Avenue in 1974. The structure which would be dubbed the Ramon Cojuangco Building would be inaugurated in 1982. [1]
The building was the site of the setting up of a router that connected the Philippines to the internet in 1994 by Filipino engineer Benjie Tan. [2]
As per the National Cultural Heritage Act which became law in 2009, the Ramon Cojuangco Building became a presumed Important Cultural Property (ICP) since it is a work of a National Artist. [1]
In May 2022, the PLDT would file a petition to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts have the building delisted as an ICP [1] intending to redevelop it into a "modern, ecologically sustainable and open campus-type headquarters". [3]
The Ramon Cojuangco Building is a 15-story structure designed by National Artist Leandro Locsin and is an example of International style architecture. It has also three levels underground. [1] An NCCA report notes that Locsin's "response to vernacular design" is evident in the building but is "minimal and ambigious". The building is noted to exhibit's Locsin's "floating effect". [4]
