LA HABANA INSPIRATION

Havana is the result of a unique coexistence between colonial architecture and modernity. Spanish heritage shaped a monumental city that experienced a golden age as a global cultural and social reference, a meeting point between Europe and the Americas. This legacy is complemented by radical 20th-century gestures, such as the concrete brutalism of the Russian Embassy and the mid-century modern design of the United States Embassy. The city also maintains a deep connection with the arts—music, cinema, painting, and sculpture—expressed today in spaces such as Fábrica de Arte Cubano, a former industrial building transformed into a social and cultural center.
