    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.

  • Description

    Originally a large city park west of Old Havana, Parque de La Habana was converted into an amusement park after the Cuban Revolution. The park featured El Columpio de Mar, a swing ride which commissioned several Cuban artists to decorate its structure, and El Caballo Mecedor, an original ride designed by the Ministry of Public Works; both of which stand today. In anticipation of increased tourism with the lifting of the trade embargo, the park built two modern rides: La Estrella del Sol, an imitation of Arrow’s corkscrew model, and Río de la Nación, a river adventure ride designed by Cuban-American Engineers and constructed by Hopkins Rides. The park is known for its historic rides and picnic grounds, as well as its proximity to the Memorial de Guerra de Independencia Cubana and Castle Estridor.
