With Martin I. Tinio Jr., he wrote Philippine Ancestral Houses (1980) to highlight the significance of our traditional urban houses as uniquely Filipino; he assembled essays by various scholars into Quiapo: Heart of Manila (2006) to reveal the diversity of the district's heritage; he wrote Authentic Though Not Exotic: Essays on Filipino Identity (2005) to highlight the dynamism of Filipino culture. He has worked with advocacy groups, both national and local, in campaigns to conserve urban ensembles like Vigan.
