Redesigning the Cuban Space

Conceptual Project 2022

"Men are the stars, some generate their own light while others reflect the  brilliance they receive." - Jose Marti

For the great memory of Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos, their images were exhibited on the facade of the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Information Technology and Communications building beside the plaza. Even with finite strength, the two men still reflected people's spirit in the power of freedom and generated themselves to light up the infinite future of Cuba.

With the inspiration of "the finite that leads the greater path of infinity."

∞: The project aims to build a complex landscape within the limited space that supports local business and social events. Turning the finite square into an iconic tourist place creates an infinite future that belongs to the Cuban people. As the symbol of infinity, Mobius band symbolizes infinite vitality and freedom, which supports the people and attracts tourists, telling them about Cuban's vision. Both Cuban people and tourists will be gathering in this area, celebrating, and experiencing amazing arts, food, music, and reviving the carnival.
