However, this perishable type of building fell out of favor following the UK's colonization of Jamaica; Jamaican planters sought to demonstrate their cultural commitment to England, thus British current architecture was adapted to the tropics. The most famous example is undoubtedly London's Royal Albert Hall, which was designed by Sir Edward Elgar in 1871. In conclusion, it must be noted that although these buildings are very impressive, they were not built with independence in mind. Rather, they were built as a display of wealth and culture for foreign visitors.
