Out of the Shadow—Critical Regionalism in Architecture
The TTIA is pleased to present a retrospective exhibition of the work of John Gillespie (practicing as Gillespie + Partners) who were in practice in the immediate pre and post Independence era, covering a significant transition period ‘The first 50 years of Independence’.
The events of 1990 and all that has stemmed from them, have made an indelible mark on the nation. Given that it was in historical terms, a very recent event and one that still reverberates at a political, societal, and personal level, we the TTIA are adopting a very broad interpretation of the concept of a memorial/museum while encouraging creativity, innovation and the advancement of architectural thinking.

Currently, there isn’t any institution in Trinidad & Tobago offering a degree in Architecture. Therefore, young aspiring architects pursue their dreams at institutions around the world which for many can be financially challenging.
The TTIA together with the family of Colin Laird have developed a Grant to be offered to Nationals of Trinidad & Tobago who are already enrolled in an accredited international Architecture program for both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
