Architecture has been around for as long as life has existed on earth. With architecture, comes art. It is difficult to fathom that civilizations were built on New York architects. Some works of architectural genius are also stout symbols of a country’s lineage or culture like the Roman Coliseum. Sadly, however, the art that is architecture, the idea behind it, has slowly dwindled from our mind.
It is out there. It is everywhere. As a society, we should not think of architecture as just a structure or building. It’s much more. Limiting art to its basic meaning only limits its intent. Architecture can be railways, floral arrangements, sculptures or even sidewalk chalk. Promotion of architecture should be prominent in the way of developing a taste for the unexpected.
There are numerous sources of architecture, and some of the best can be seen in the Caribbean where there is a sensuous backdrop of inspiration. Caribbean architecture has been one of the most breathtaking this century. Competing with western and eastern styles of influence, Caribbean architecture is one of a kind. It combines aspects of culture, society and politics. There is no telling what went on in the minds of a Caribbean architect, but their work can be seen and marveled. Without a proper understanding of what architecture is or how it influenced our culture, or the culture of a loved one then we lose meaning in our society.
