Intention

The Danish colonial era is still highly present on the Virgin Islands. It is traceable, readable and unavoidable. All reflected in the architectural heritage that unites Denmark and the Virgin Islands. With so visible representation (sugar mills, architecture and street names) the colonial times are a constant reminder of slavery, Denmark and a source for a confused identity. This Master’s Thesis will help to unravel our common history, based on the transformation and restoration of a former sugar plantation on St. Croix.
