Ernesto Oroza: Architecture of Necessity (Havana)




The city’s inhabitants are aware of their real needs, driven by the inevitable, they transform their city under a new order: The Moral Modular. Urgency provides for the individual a foundational alibi. Every sexual or physiological impulse, every birth and even death, will provoke the appearance of new walls, columns, stairways, new windows or plumbing and electrical systems.

Form follows Necessity. The modified houses of Havana express this relationship.  It’s an Architecture of Necessity.
