Living in the Américas: Fall 2010 & Spring 2011
BAC Long Studio
The studio will learn about Puerto Rico by employing the skills of research, on-site investigation, concept development, and project design.
We will review the five centuries that began with Ponce de Leon’s decimation of the Tainos while he searched for gold, followed by Spanish, then American colonization, culminating in a commonwealth with a syncretic blend of native, European, African, and American cultures.
The studio project is “Playa Ahumada (Smoky Shore),” - a restaurant and night club - which will be sited along the walls on the sea front between Fort San Felipe del Morro and the San Juan Cemetery.
