DOCARCHIMO HAITI |
| Documentation of 20th century modern architecture in Haiti |
INTRODUCTION DocArchiMo Haiti is an educational and scientific project, documenting the modern architecture of the 20th century in Haiti. It is carried out by students within the framework of courses on the history of modern architecture and introduction to heritage, given jointly at the State University of Haiti (Master URBATeR) and the University of Quisqueya (FSGA). The aim of these courses is to develop the ability to read 20th cent. modern architecture and to make students aware of the preservation and promotion of this heritage, which is still little known and little documented in Haiti. The project is placed under the pedagogical responsibility of teachers Christian Ubertini (UEH/URBATeR) and Karine Jadotte-Bouchereau (FSGA/UNIQ) who work in consultation with a scientific committee composed of architects, engineers and historians interested in the theme. DocArchiMo Haiti is also a participatory project, which functions as a platform to collect and share information related to the theme of modern architecture in Haiti. We are aware that the success of the project will depend above all on the possibility of accessing mostly private sources of information. In particular, the owners of houses built during the period concerned between 1920 and 1990, the community of engineers and architects, the families of the older generation of architects and engineers, sociologists and historians, etc. To do so, we invite all those concerned and willing to contribute to this project to contact us. DocArchiMo Haiti is still a project at the draft stage. It is intended to be evolutionary and open to criticism. We will publish here the inventory sheets and the research carried out by the students, as well as articles related to this history of modern architecture in Haiti which is still to be written. WARNING The information included in the files, dates, names of architects, etc. was gathered during the interviews and may be subject to correction. The descriptions are the students' personal interpretations and the fruit of their research work. Persons wishing to clarify this information are encouraged to contact us. We have also tried to acknowledge the credits for the photos in accordance with legal requirements. Rights holders, whom we could not find despite our research, are kindly requested to make themselves known. CONTACT |
