Between 2 Worlds Vol 1

"This two volume monograph traces Bryan Bullen's practice in architecture and in doing so partly fills the void created by Grenada's failure to embrace its architectural heritage and create a distinctive architectural identity. Bullen's architectural accomplishments provide a foundation for Grenadians to begin discussing the value and importance of developing a national architecture style for Grenada that considers the country's-built heritage, limited land space and, most importantly, its fragile ecosystem. Bullen's pessimistic view of several developments on the island, particularly the lack of interest in preserving the unique architecture in the capital of St. George's, are issues highlighted in the monograph. Bullen's monograph is a must-read, not only for policymakers and physical planners but for all those interested in maintaining and enhancing the beauty of Grenada's unique landscape. Regionally, Bullen's work is also essential as it raises issues about embracing modernity in the context of heritage. Here in Grenada how do we embrace modernity while respecting the capital’s architecture style which has defined its uniqueness as the only Georgian harbour city in the Caribbean?"
