EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The following body of material aims to highlight the series of models created during Semester 1 for M.Arch 1 of the Master of Architecture Program at the University of Technology, Jamaica. It retrospectively showcases work done in a chronological sequence from Concept to the Final Proposal of my market design within the city of Montego Bay, Jamaica .

Utilizing models as the main driving medium the document also consist of pictures which showcase how the models acted in synergy in order to generate a holistic presentation layout during the critique process.

Ants Nest

T H E Flooding with beings that move sporadically, Is there order here I wonder?

A network, a system new on top of old, Unique, a relic waiting to be bold.

Alas there is a glimmer of hope off in the distance, Can you feel its dominant presence?

Its aura and essence bleeds from beneath the floor, Prudent relevance of HISTORY, seen from offshore.

They penetrate hidden barriers they find insignificant, Were they ever important at all?

The natural and organic thrown to the gutters, The fluid yet rigid closes the shutters.

MISLEADING, AN ANTS NEST OF HISTORIC EVENTS THROUGH INVASIVE PATTERNS!

Wandering aimlessly in search of something intentional, Is there anything relevant to see?

Swerving, racing right past the obvious that calls, Like a spotlight in the centre of two intersecting halls.

# 1 With Sam Sharpe square at the centre of the city of Montego Bay this model aimed to represent the square in both a visual and tactile manner through the use of the black and brown elements on the model. As for the thickness of the white block, it represents the disconnect caused by Howard Cooke Blvrd. and the square. Lastly the popsicle sticks represent the nature of the two major thoroughfare within the city St. James Street (meandering) and Howard Cooke Blvd. (wide and straight).

This analysis was done in order to understand the spacial aspects of the city of Montego Bay. the skewers represent how one moves along St. James street where they cadence and get closer to each other as you move towards the open space in the centre (Sam Sharpe Square. The chipboard in the images represents the nature of Howard Cooke Blvd. The black elements begin to showcase how the city is ready to accept people and then things become congested and narrow and the red is X and Y axis Views.
