Description
In the first half of the 16th century Cuba and its inhabitants got into Spanish control. Mostly for harvesting sugar cane, the Spanish colonialists brought in thousands of slaves to Cuba in the upcoming centuries, mostly from western Africa. Not many people know that the Spanish aside from the harvesting also let them build a massive roller coaster on the island to prevent unrest against the colonialists among the local population. Due to a lack of ressources, they needed to use every material they could find for that. The result was a mixture of wood and steel, that probably would be considered very weird today.

I adore the cruise terminal in Puerta Vieja. IMO it was an easy best architecture nom for 2020 awards, and a better capture of the eclectic and powerful styles of Cuba than maravillas or parque de la habana. I know it got knocked for some bad angles and sloppiness, but it really is a step above to assemble contemporary, Spanish colonial, and socialist structures into a cohesive picture.

Thanks man, that's exactly what we were going for with its direction. We both contributed a lot to that structure - so it was a fun exercise in teamwork.
There's a lot of crumbled rocks / ruins in the water to show that a lot of the older structure was demolished during its renovation to make way for some of the more modern terminal style.
