The Caribbean is not just a sea, it is oceanic. Approaching the Caribbean as an ocean implies refuting its insular, fragmented, and disconnected condition to approach its continental and networked dimensions. Its maritime currents open towards the Atlantic and other gaps generated by our species have indissolubly connected it to the Pacific. This continental condition of the Caribbean highlights the colonial relationships that the archipelagos have with the continents, the trade winds that facilitated colonial expansion, and the terrestrial and subterranean currents that facilitate human and non-human movement.
The architecture of the section presents on one hand the flows, encounters, and confluences, and on the other hand, the cuts, distances, and dismemberments that shape this territory. The design translates the heterogeneous reading of the contexts that overlap in the Caribbean through spaces that expand and compress in a layout configured through walls that combine rigid and undulating geometries. This configuration enables conversations between the works and defines enveloping spaces for projections and the forum.
