Course Details

This course will explore art and culture in Havana, Cuba as the intersection of architecture, planning, preservation, and economics, including real estate development. Havana is one of the oldest cities in the hemisphere, having just celebrated its 500th anniversary. The course will provide the opportunity for the students to intensely interact (virtually, from Havana) with Cuban experts in each discipline. Students will first learn about the rich and complex contextual past and present framework for how these four disciplines interact and are manifested in the arts, culture, and society. Group projects will apply the learning to specific neighborhoods in Havana.  This Instructor Team will be augmented by virtual participation of practitioners from Havana. The course will be in English.
