East Port of Spain Design Charrette

24th January, 2012 by Mandilee Newton | 0 comments

Last week acla team Gary Turton and Mandilee Newton participated in a design charrette on East Port of Spain. acla are the local architects [in conjunction with Jenifer Smith] on an international collaboration with Dover Kohl and Partners. It was an intensive ten day workshop based in East Port of Spain analysing the 'Comprehensive Development Areas' -- these include Port of Spain South, Quarry Street/ John John, Picton/ Eastern Quarry, Laventille/ Trou Macaque, Success Village and Sea Lots. The exercise is part of a larger effort being initiated by the East Port of Spain Development Company to uplift the area. 

Participants at one of the daily evening pin-ups/ critiques. Yes, that's the back of Gary's head, right.
