A space cannot be defined by one aspect. The capital city Port of Spain has a plethora of space use and we can not confine it to a single representation. However in our blog, we decided to focus on the foundation of the city; which of course is the infrastructure. Upon reviewing our course colleagues' blog, similar topics which we highlighted were either the major basis of their blog or was an aspect of their blog.
Pulse of the City by Kaaria Quaash and Jameel Smith opened up our imagination from the start with their first post. The title of the blog made you begin to think what really makes Port of Spain keep going and to our discovery they highlighted many aspects of the city even our famous "Cricket in the Oval" and "The Emperor Valley Zoo" two forms of recreation found in the city. The vivid pictures captured the beauty of the city. Their closest post to ours were "Urban Architecture: Monuments" where they highlighted infrastructure now and then and talked about the synecdoche. A very tasteful blog.

Architecture through Time by Rana Sundar and Shariel Yarsien had really lovely pictures and highlighted the beautiful architecture styles then and now. They effortlessly spoke about the rich history and culture of our people and the influences those histories had on the architectural designs of the city.The posts seemed well-researched.

Transportation in Urban Trinidad by Esther Davis and Brandon Foster seeked to highlight another major form of infrastructure which is transportation. Their blog expanded on different forms of transportation, and what different forms of transport means to pedestrians. They even touched on the role of transport in time-space compression and related it to the Piarco Airport. This was a very knowledgeable post.
