Cuba has been occupied and colonized numerous times by different countries that worked with both the city grid and housing typologies as a precondition to reinforce their ideologies and intended way of life. Both these elements created a sense of control over the people and their interactions due to the over rationalization of spaces and their function. The project proposes a partially self-build housing model that celebrates flexibility, adaptability, and interactions. It is a rejection of the imposed city grids and housing typologies that have been adopted by Cuba’s morphing state and uses the street as a means to unite by deconstructing the larger housing blocks. The proposed framework allows the people to build according to their preference, while still following a set of guiding rules that enables a more interactive and associative way of life within an existing context. These guiding rules create a more porous block that introduces non-directional pathways enticing different spaces of aggregation as well as exposed circulation and balconies that promote interactions. The project also proposes an antagonism between what one sees in the initial frontality of the building vs. when one moves within the block, creating layers of privacy within a highly interactive block.
