Los Carpinteros

Sala de Lectura (Prototipo)

Sala de Lectura (Prototipo), or Reading Room (Prototype), by the Cuban collective Los Carpinteros presents an architectural vision of communal intellectual life, blending functional design with a sense of utopian possibility. The work reflects the duo's signature approach of merging craft, architecture, and conceptual art to examine social structures and the spaces humans inhabit. With its precise, drafting-like sensibility, the piece invites viewers to consider the relationship between knowledge, shared space, and the idealized built environment.
