INTRODUCTION

I consider my self to be a cross between Mies van der rohe and Adolf Loos with a dash of Zaha Hadid . As a champion of the environment, I believe that the city is among man's greatest inventions, and if properly planned, the earth's resources can satisfy the needs of current and future generations.

SUMMARY

RamoneAllen

About Project

The Market and hotel attempts to connect the Tourist side of Montego Bay with the Local lived experiences ok the average Jamaican merchant. The development aims to create useful habitable spaces in the city, like the elevated park created at the south end of the site. The development also aims to bring economic activity to the area while integrating natural areas of release around the site.

This was an analysis on the dual nature of the local lives of Montegonians , which is in direct contrast with the experience of the tourist. Hence the name of the art piece is “the connect in disconnect” the symbiotic relationship between the two side of Montego bay. My development would seek to help bridge this gap.

About Project

This project was inspired by the imagery ad themes coming out the Amazon series adaptation of “The Man In The High Castle". I was moved to create a collage art piece which highlights that through any adversity all we need is a beacon of hope to spark the change we need. Therefore, Like the torch of the stature of liberty represents "Liberty Enlightening the World" the creation of deeply integrated urban campus in the Kingston mid-town area can help light the way to a better future through education. The campus will focus on exposing the surrounding Ares to technologies and ideas, with the aim of being on the cutting edge the urban campus will have three primary functions:

1. Education Community college (ICT collage &Job training

THE URBAN CAMPUS

center)

2. Industrial (Data Centre)

3. Service (business incubator for students and community members)
