CARNIVAL MUSEUM OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

ANALYSIS

The Independence Square, Port of Spain, Trinidad, lies near to southern end of the island. Formerly named Marine Square- because of its construction on reclaimed land- it was renamed in honour of Trinidad and Tobago's independence from the United Kingdom in 1962. The Square runs from east to west and is bounded on the north side by King Street. The western portion of the Square forms the Brian Lara Promenade.

This site bares an intense social and historical importance to the country. The site is located in close proximity to many of POS landmarks such as: Wood ford square, holy trinity cathedral, the promenade, the water front and the Nicholas Tower and the Eric Williams Plaza are located on the southern side of Independence Square.

Port of Spain is mostly a retail and commercial city; with a residential population of 36,965 people and the population density is 3080 people per sq.m. according to 2011 census data. The research and analysis needed for the development of this form was rather intensive and because of the sensitivity of this site socially, this site had to somehow cary out those responsibilities plus the basic or very particular rather, responsibilties of a museum.With that said, zoning a set bach and highly efficaious entry would prove to be the most important part of this design as it would determine how the public interacted with this iconic strucuture.

The research and analysis needed for the development of this massing was rather intensive and because of the sensitivity of this site socially, this site had to somehow carry out those responsibilities plus the basic or very particular rather, responsibilities of a museum. With that said, zoning a setback and highly efficacious entry would prove to be the most important part of this design as it would determine how the public interacted with this iconic structure.

CARNIVAL MUSEUM OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

ANALYSIS The Carnival Museum of Contemporary Arts, Trinidad and Tobago, is designed to stand out against all the buildings on the promenade strip. This museum is designed to house Peter Minshall’s collection of artwork entitled, Minshall’s trilogy. As a result of the 40+ meters set back that the promenade and connecting lanes allow, the building can be viewed holistically from almost every angle while approaching from either side of the street. The intent of my architecture is pay sincere homage to Cipriani, who is a symbol for nationalism in Trinidad and Tobago. To accomplish this, the building is set on axis with the Cipriani statue across from the site. The stepped effect of the building also helps to give the illusion of the building reaching for the statue when at a distance. The building is aligned on a structural grid with incrimination of 7 ½ meters. The building is stacked similarly to the Trinidad and Tobago national library; as a result the weight of the building is tied back to the main columns which pierce through the building on every floor. The main structure for the cantilever of the Minshall gallery is supported by huge 1.5 meter thick structural walls which also help to support the weight of the rest of the building. Lastly the glass facades are supported by I beams which are set back a few centimetres from the structural glazing.

COMMUNITY AND RELIEF CENTRE 23 IDEAS COMPETITION

Saint Mary is a parish located in the northeast section of Jamaica , with a population of 115,000 it is one of Jamaica's smallest parishes, located in the county of Middlesex. The town of Annotto Bay sits on the northern most region of the parish, bordering the Caribbean sea and engaging in the full embrace of tropical sun and subtle sea breeze whisking through its basin like topography. The two-mile long town of Annotto Bay has a population of approximately 8,000 people and 18 churches. As a result of its location below sea level, as well as its numerous water ways and river courses, the town has a high risk of flooding and an architectural solution needs to be employed to help those who might suffer during these catastrophic instances.

COMMUNITY CENTRE AND RELIEF CENTRE

•The site is situated on a rural subdivided parcel of land along Gibraltar Road. Over half of the site sits on a small hill with the advantage of being a potentially visible development that is easy to locate. •Surrounding the site are primarily residential type structures, 2 community shops, and an informal garage which serves the district of Gibraltar. •Given Gibraltar’s fairly good road conditions, driving from the town to the site will take approximately 3-5 minutes.

Geology of Annotto Bay The surficial geological unites of Annotto Bay are alluvial deposits overlying White Limestone of the Gibraltar-Bonny Gate Formation and the Richmond formation. The alluvial deposits occur along the coast and the lower reaches of the major river that empty along the coastal flats in the town of Annotto Bay. The deposits range from carbonaceous to silica rich sands with abundant shell fragments that vary in thickness and reaches up to 70 metres in the western section of the town in the Aqualtavale area.

COMMUNITY CENTRE AND RELIEF CENTRE

The Ark Like the biblical ark, this picturesque piece of architecture serves as a beacon of hope for the members of the Gibraltar community. The Ark receives its name for three specific reasons, its protection of the Annotto Bay community during flood and disaster, its position on the hill, and its boat like shape. This design is intended to be the first step in Annotto Bay, St. Mary reaching its goal of vision 2030. The Ark is to one day act as social datum for Annotto Bay and the Gibraltar community. The windmill farm is to serve as the main contributor of sustainable green energy for the community along with the built in photovoltaic glass in the indoor courts roof and ceiling. The wind mill of choice is the helix wind turbine which has been proven to with stand some of the most intense hurricane winds. The design intent of this architecture is exposure, it exposes structure, it exposes materiality and it exposes its landscape. The landscaping in this project deviates from the traditional methods of landscaping to something a bit more rustic, something true to the arid nature of the site, this will also serve to lessen the expenditure on irrigation on the 3.2 acre site. The materials of choice in this building is anodized steel (for the indoor stadium roof), concrete and bamboo louvers, all of which is exposed. The openness of the indoor court is allowed only through the manipulation of the bamboo louvers, it allows for adequate cross ventilation of the room as day and night breezes whisk through the hilly topography. The architectural intent for this design is unlike most, it migrates from the internal approach to architecture i.e. keeping a space within its architectural perimeters and instead this architecture seeks to branch out and touch its surrounding context as its community spaces bleed into the side walk and surrounding areas. The Ark is unlike any other structure around it, but this does not act as to disregard of context, but instead an embellishment. The Ark is to Annotto Bay, what the Bus park it to Half-Way-Tree, let this building inspire future growth and development in the Annotto Bay district.

PERFORMANCE THEATRE

As a part of our fourth year curriculum we had to visit our second Caribbean island and propose an effective urban intervention for the specified city. This year the country and city of choice was San Jose, Costa Rica. Costa Rica lay between Nicaragua and panama and is surrounded by intense rainforest which lends itself the home to a majority of Costa Ricaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild life and horticulture.

San jose was beautiful spanish city in terms of culture, however in reference to architecture it lacked that strong spanish colonial influence. This was mostly because the city is relatively new in contrast to the other spanish colonial cities e.g.Havana and santo domingo. As a result of of its architecture was fairly modern and and lacked in some cases the delicate and culturally adaptive touch of the spanish influence. San jose, although one of the more properous cities in latin america, suffered from severe social lock-down after dark due to the fact that people generally didnt live in san jose, but instead resided in the surrounding communities. This issue made the city very dead after certain hours of the night. Our goal as designers was to provide a civix structure that would revitalise the city after dark.

PERFORMANCE THEATRE

The Performance Centre is to be a gateway into Al Centro from the East. It is to revitalize the core of San Jose which virtually shuts down in the evening. Conceived as a portal, threshold and stage, the program for the intervention is to stitch the neighbourhood of Escalante to the North East district of Carmen, encouraging innovation and the cultural diversity of Costa Rican people. Further, the PerforPerfor mance Centre is to be an Interactive Environment for the public and people in the Creative Industries. With a focus on the Performing and Visual Arts, the centre should include Music, Circus Arts, live street entertainment, the moving image, network applications and projected realms. The Centre is to be used by both residents and visitors for day and night time activities as a social hub.

|INTRODUCTION| | COSTA RICA| |SAN JOSE| The Performance Centre is to be a gateway into Al Centro from the East. It is to revitalize the core of San Jose which virtually shuts down in the evening. This site is conceived as a portal, threshold and stage, the program for the intervention is to stitch the neighbourhood of Escalante to the North East district of Carmen, encouraging innovation and the cultural diversity of Costa Rican people. Further, the Performance Centre is to be an InterInter active Environment for the public and people in the Creative Industries. With a focus on the Performing and Visual Arts, the centre should include Music, Circus Arts, live street entertainment, the moving image, network applications and projected realms. The Centre is to be used by both residents and visitors for day and night time activities as a social hub. This project was much more than just an architectural project, it involves the issue of urban planning, which, in turn, would aid in the revitalization of the area. The areas south of the site also suffered from severe social and architectural dilapidation which was contrasted by the more prosperous northern streets. This contrast gave reason for the bipolar nature of the site i.e. beaming with life and activity on one side, and suffocating on the other. In designing, my goal was to successfully bleed the prosperity of the northern streets into the southern streets by creating social linkages between the two roads. My main design driver for this project was the rainforest, which is an imperative part of the Costa Rican culture. The goal was to manifest an urbanized forest that would provide shade, social activities and bring the same blooming life that one would find in the Costa Rican rainforest. Consequently, my landscaping incorporates a variety of trees and plants. This concept is carried through to the internal architecture of my edifice, as the landscaping is allowed to permeate into the entry foyer. La Floresta en la cuidad was to stand up against the city scape like a mountain in the rainforest immersed in tropical trees and lush foliage.

An added feature to my design are the proposed outdoor performing areas. These structures are to be a metaphoric representation of a tree. Like a tree these structures shade, protect and store water at its roots. The canopy like covering houses the photovoltaic panels while also acting as a funnel to direct rain water down its “trunk” to its “roots” (the water storage tanks). The solar energy is stored right below the sruface of the stage for easy maintenance and servicing.
