Daniel Burnham

a bust of Daniel Burnham at...yes...Burnham Park, Baguio
an american architect and urban planner who was one of the proponents of the City Beautiful Movement and who contributed to the city planning of Chicago and other cities in the U.S., he created a plan for Baguio City when the Americans made the City their get-away from the scorching heat of Manila.

hmmm??...maybe because Burnham was more of a planner than an architect (?)
