Final

This post attempts to show the relation of my blog to that of three of my classmate's blogs. 

In relation to my blog, which looks at housing and architecture in Trinidad, I agree with Jason Baptise and Leah Punch’s blog, where they supported the preservation of historic buildings. From my perspective this maintains the architectural diversity of the city and in turn; as they agreed it also adds aesthetic value to the city.
Deneisha Madray and Johannah Reyes spoke in their blog about the history of Port of Spain as it was controlled by various colonial masters. And in relation to my blog, the ancient buildings act as fixed documentation of these periods.   
Gabrielle and Duane spoke about gentrification in the blog just as I did. As we both highlighted; Woodbrook is a perfect example of where this has taken place, where some buildings have been renovated and modernized increasing the cost of rent, and changing the overall status and face of the people of the neighbourhood.


Thank you.
