The learning and teaching spaces on all three floors of the CSA were transformed into exhibition halls, each room carefully planned by a Design Studio
lecturer and artist Mrs Allison West-Martin. Below are pictorial highlights of just a small sample of the architectural design work that was on display.
At left is a project capturing a historical event memorial structure that tells the story
of the Kingston Earthquake of 1907. The display at above presents miniature models
of the ‘Live/Work’ designs for an early childhood education facility. The live/work
concept design spaces that combine living and working in an urban area.
Fourth year students designed a study room for a future
project at the Dennis Johnson Halls of Residence on the
UTech, Ja. Papine campus. The project was proposed by
President, Prof. Stephen Vasciannie.
