Transcript of Portfolio 2016
Urban Design has a language that is being lost.
It is no longer spoken or taught, hence it is not
known. Rather, it isn’t fully loved therefore it isn’t
fully known. And what of this lost Urban Design
language? It was part of the everyday experience.
It was part of all that this civilization was surrounded
by. Everyone and everything spoke it. Fortunately,
some traces of it remain; beautiful decay, lovely
ruins, items of days past linger on unnoticed. Or so
it would seem. Look. Do you see them? Listen. They
speak; some whisper, some shout. People hear it.
Some look and wonder. What if they were really
seen; understood? What if they became part of
the everyday experience again? Urban Design
that speaks; a tapestry that is intrinsically human
and “Trinbagonian”. Urban Design that illustrates
the fabric of this nation, realizes its tensions, and
thriving on its propensity to be interwoven. Urban
Design that is accurate. Time tested Urban Design
that is an expression of this cultural experience with
all its chaos. Urban Design that is observant, full of
integrity, and able to grow in quality – Urban Design
that knits the framework for a dignified society.
Speak it again. Learn of it and speak it again.
Awaken the ears and minds that have fallen deaf.
Make it be seen. Make it be heard. See it again. Let
it speak with all its complexity – its forms, structures,
social context, dialects and diversity.
It will teach. It will respond.
