Throughout Caribbean history, colonial oppression and its effects has been widespread. The physical and economic plight has plagued the region for centuries, but one form of colonialism is yet to be fully broken: intellectual colonialism, which is embodied in local architecture. In contemporary Caribbean architecture, vernacular design and building crafts are overlooked by both the general population and designers. With only one post-secondary institution teaching architecture, this intellectual neglect is prevalent in the Caribbean urban fabric, dominated by luxury minimalism. To combat this prevailing idea, a pedagogy that challenges these notions should emerge. Thus, by developing a new school of architecture that prioritizes the cultural methods of building and design, this intellectual colonialism can be broken, and an architectural identity can be realized.
