National Art Schools | Havana, Cuba
In Cuba, the National Art Schools once inhabited a sprawling campus designed by the architects Ricardo Porro, Roberto Gottardi and Vittorio Garatti. Now sadly unfinished, abandoned and overgrown, the buildings were intended to epitomize “the utopian aspirations of the revolution,” when Fidel Castro commissioned them in 1961.
That is, until a world-renowned Cuban dancer returned to his native Havana with an idea to breathe new life into the dilapidated institution.

by three norwegian architecture students
Three architecture students from the Norwegian School of Science and Technology partnered with Friends of Niafourang to design and build a combination library and computer room for the local youth. The design also creates an outdoor space with a stage for dancing and performances. projectNIAFOURANG was made possible by financial backing from the talented and generous firm, Lund + Slaatto Architects.
