dreaming & learning

The Cuban National Schools of Arts were built during the Cuban Revolution. They encapsulated the radical, utopian vision of the Revolution, but unfortunately the schools were left to decay before even being completed. Fidel Castro commissioned Cuban modernist architect Ricardo Porro, who was then joined by two Italian architects, Vittorio Garatti and Roberto Gottardi. Read the whole text and see the rest of the images at Archdaily.
