This is my most favorite work of art!  The old Rustan’s makati building.  The building was designed by Architect Sala and constructed by AMOreta.  This was built in the 70’s and my Dad built this together with my grandmother.  He always tells me that this store was born when I was born in 1970.  That is how he remembers the age of this building 🙂

I wish they didn’t have to remove the design 

Here are different photos taken from different pages in facebook sent to me by friends

And here is a small drawing by artist PEPPER ROXAS

It is entitled “forgotten buildings.”  I don’t think this building is really forgotten and will ever be forgotten

    I was born in 1970, and yes, I still remember the good old days, when my parents would bring us to this store, since we always go early, we always get to park in that parking space just across the entrance of the store. Back in those days you woulldn’t have to worry much about traffic and parking.
