Shaking Up Havana’s Malecon

Register/Submit Deadline:  Tuesday, Sep 11, 201811 AMBST

Shaking Up Havana’s Malecon: Call for Entries

Eleven’s new challenge focuses on Havana’s iconic Malecon in a sea defence and cultural space competition.

Eleven’s latest ideas and design competition 'Shaking Up Havana’s Malecon’ is now open for registration. Welcome to a new Cuban revival. This challenge invites architects, creatives and visionaries from all around the world to reimagine one of Havana’s most iconic landmarks.

Havana is a wonderful place, filled with life and unique retro Caribbean vibes. The city is a pearl in the rough and oozes architectural potential from everywhere you look. In this competition, we want you to engage with the Cuban flavour and channel the city’s pulsating energy into your own architectural visions for a renewed Malecon.

Buy any travel book on Havana or Google its top attractions and must-see highlights, and somewhere in the top rankings, you will find the Malecon. Today this seawall and promenade continues to be an icon for both locals and tourists alike. Unfortunately, it has fallen into disrepair and the redundant sea defence is in desperate need of a facelift to ensure that this landmark continues to be part of Havana’s identity and future.

This competition isn’t just about rethinking a sea promenade for Havana, it focuses on three areas: protection in the form of a renewed sea defence, engagement in the form of new cultural social spaces along the Malecon, and identity in the form of resurrecting an old icon back to life and defining a new beginning for Havana in the 21st century.

We want to start a new Cuban Revolution with this competition, only this time, we are using creativity to bring about some much-needed urban change to Havana’s complex urban and social history.

So grab your maracas, cocktails, classic cars, cigars and salsa heels and get designing!
