Description ▲
Architecture is the consummation of ontological reasoning. The birthright of the Cuban architecture can only be found by traveling through its Islamic origins syncretically modified in Andalusia, Spain. The exotic Cuban architecture sprung as a derivative of such syncretism not as a literally or arbitrary transplant, but albeit modest, a genuinely Cuban lexicon.
