    Situated in San Jose, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon is The Monastery of the
    Transfiguration popularly known for its pyramid-shaped chapel. Home of the
    Benedictine monks, this monastery exhibits the values of noble simplicity, sense of
    balance, and harmony. Nestled in the spectacular hills of Bukidnon, the Transfiguration
    Abbey was founded in 1983 by the first Filipino Benedictine abbot, Father Eduardo
    Africa, OSB. However, hardly ten years after it was
    inaugurated, the original monastery church became
    too small for countless worshippers and pilgrims.
    With the help of benefactors, the new church was
    inaugurated on August 6, 1996. This chapel that was
    designed by the Filipino National Artist for
    Architecture, Leandro Locsin has been dubbed by
    many as a “Magnum Opus” which means “Great
    Work”.

    Also known as 'The Poet of Space', Leandro


    Locsin is accustomed to incorporating Filipino living
    patterns and has frequently associated local and
    vernacular spatial qualities in his designs. With this, his inspiration for the
    Transfiguration was the traditional bahay kubo composed of bamboo and nipa. For
    instance, if the black steel rafter-columns, and the hardwood placed horizontally of the
    Church's ceilings are reimagined as bamboo and nipa respectively, then, the very
    interior of the bahay kubo can be idealized. In addition to this, Locsin seems to have
    been also inspired by the Ifugao huts in the Cordilleras. This is because a cluster of the
    pyramid-roofed huts hunched over the terraced slopes resemble giant mushrooms on a
    carpet of green velvet.
