In this day and age We need to strive for better, to leave our mark and set more than trends. We should be using innovative designs that can be low cost, practical, revolutionary, energy efficient, and even strikingly beautiful.

Jamaica is full of talent but we too afraid fi bruk out when it come to architecture. Dem houses here nuh bad but dem boring. A time fi wi move forward into a new era of building design, and lef di ole styling to di old people.

@EvilFred3 Exactly, Jamaican architects need to take a look at houses built in Europe, Greece, Spain etc

Houses in JA are still the same old tired looking designs…. and not forgetting the chintz furnishings!

@karincargill I know they’re just drawings. I was just saying that these drawing, even though dem nice, dem not different from what we see all di time. I think modern day designers should push the envelope and give people some new things to think about instead of the same old tyaad look yu si as yuh drive round jamaica. Architects should do more than just recreate. Dem fi be Artists and inspire us fi build di future.

@EvilFred3 See what you saying still…but I have been out there, sometimes its not necessarily the architect’s the problem, its not they dont want to create something different and out of the box, cause indeed we are designers, but the clients have the final say bredren, u have to remember that, is what them want we give, and even if we try to do something different they are stuck with the whole traditional look..and what they use to, so more time it difficult.

@TheJohnnyboy2060 houses in Africa are even nicer than houses in Jamaica.

@EvilFred3 The only thing that covers Jamaica is entertainment talent. Even Beenie man, Rita Marley and others testify how beautiful Africa is. As am talking to you right now Rita Marley mostly resides in a country call Ghana. Honestly Jamaica is just like Africa or even poorer based on my experience. The only thing that boost the confidence of most Jamaicans is their beaches and music talents. If you like youtube houses in Africa, Durban South African and top ten cities of Africa and compare?

@Charliesonbaahsonsky No your wrong, Jamaica is not like africa at all, infact jamaica shouldnt even experience famine due to the blessed land, people are only starving due the corrupt politicians and private land owners. Jamaica, may not have material possession like most of the west, but in no way they are poorer than africa. Jamaica has 2 sides to it the resorts and the beautiful house of the rich and of jamaicans who have returned home..and then there are the ghettos i.e. in Kingston.

@Charliesonbaahsonsky The houses which you must be referring to are the houses of African arabs, and mostly parts in sub Saharan or the houses which are built with the donations of foreign countries and aid while their people are suffering so seriously don’t even try and exaggerate. In Jamaica people may be struggling but people are not living in mud huts like our brothers and sisters in africa.
