In this final post, we will discuss several of our colleges’ blogs relate to our theme.

Firstly, the well detailed and intriguing blog “Architecture Through Time ” by Rana Sundar and Shariel whose core theme surrounds the idea of the existence of various architectural types and design that exists today within Trinidad. They furthered the study of colonial architecture by including the dynamisms of space and time and how these factors transcend to the contemporary architecture in Trinidad and Tobago. They included a single posts that briefly discusses the Magnificent Seven but was able to achieve comparison to other architectural styles in their other posts.

   Additionally, from the dynamic blog “Urban Haven of Trinidad,” by Nicola Mathura and Dianne Mahabir we may draw reference. This pair achieved to publically realise the architectural representation and identity formed within Port of Spain. They intriguingly discusses Trinidad’ and Tobago’s colonial history and its impact on the existing architectural styles within the city. By identifying the Neoclassical styles from the 19^th century and giving in depth insight on the sentimental values these structures they justify the reasons to which these extraordinary sites should be preserved.
