Caribbean Design Showcase
As part of the Agency’s London Engage
initiative in 2012, Caribbean Export
also facilitated the participation of three
regional architects in the Caribbean
Design Showcase at the University of
Westminster in London, featuring a
3D projection of regional architects’
designs, as well as a wall-to-wall photo
display of traditional uses of indigenous
earth friendly building materials in
home construction; the showcase
ran from June 28 - July 15, 2012. The
regional architects were Kevin Talma,
of Talma Mills Studio and John Allsopp
of Amonle Studios (Barbados), and
Bryan Bullen of Caribbean Office of
Co-operative Architecture (Grenada).
The photos used in the Heritage Photo
Display were provided by a variety of
sources and submitted by Sue Courtney,
VIVIDARCH (Belize).
Under, the theme “Doorways:
Entryways to Sustainable Living”,
the Caribbean Architectural Design
Showcase was staged to introduce
EU partners to different techniques
of utilising indigenous materials in
Caribbean architectural designs,
strengthen regional and international
networks between CARIFORUM
architects, relevant investors and
partners, as well as facilitate the transfer
of knowledge and technology between
CARIFORUM architects and the UK/EU
market.
