The Island the Day After
2019 Unbuilt Architecture and Design
Award
Project name: The Island the Day After
Project location: Havana, Cuba
Firm name: Agent Architecture
Jury comments: If implemented in multiple locations across Havana, this project— transforming a luxury hotel into a farm—might make a dent in addressing food shortages. Raising livestock seems incompatible with downtown living. Are school graduates meant to replicate the farm? Also, how will the goat on the diving platform get down?
