  1. Ooops. The text for the brief didn't come out right - so here it is again!
    There is an opportunity to construct a cultural signifier for Barbados, to show the nation embraces its European, African and East Indian Heritage.So as to redefine the Bajan identity to ourselves and other nation-states.
    The aim of the design exercise is to design a response that supports Chief Corrie and the Arawak descendants to live authentically in community and practice their traditional way of life.
    Therefore East Indian Culture can gain from Western Technological developments as they trade and establish business within the Bajan community;; much like the Menji restoration in Japan.
    By these activities Chief Corries can effect transcultural exchanges, education and agitation.
    The Arawaks are artisans – the sustain themselves by making crafts such as pottery,,jewelry,ceramics and painting.
    The master plan for a new tribal village to accommodate all aspects of traditional and contemporary village life including tribal government center, educational facilities, tourist facilities, gardens and tribal cultural center with a Sun Dance ritual plaza and campground An interpretive center, gift shop, offices and meeting space.The facilities are also to include extensive outdoor space for ceremonial activities, interpretive trails and provides access to the Historic landing site on the Atlantic Ocean.
