Unfinished Spaces by Benjamin Murray & Aylsa Nahmias (2011, 86 min.). Commissioned by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, three young, visionary architects began construction of their radical designs for Cuba’s ambitious National Art Schools project. Classes soon followed, but as the dream of the Revolution quickly became a reality, construction halted and the architects’ designs deemed irrelevant in the prevailing political climate. Forty years later the schools are in use but remain unfinished, and Castro invites the exiled architects back to finish their unrealized dream.
