Course Description
This architectural studio will have one main project for the
semester: to explore the issues surrounding the redesign of an area in
Havana, Cuba. It is a typical area about the size of a Law of Indies
block that presently has a mix of housing, work, and shopping, in
buildings that need to be replaced and others that need to be
rehabilitated. There is also vacant land, and buildings that are
unused. Part of the blocks front on the Malecon, the street next to the
water. The other edge fronts onto a typical neighborhood. The intention
is to study the culture through an understanding of one area of Havana
and then design an "echo" in architectural form. The design will
include public space as well as a mix of buildings: some new, some
rehabilitated.
