“What horror!”: Cubans criticize the new setting of the Havana airport

MIAMI, United States. — Cubans residing inside and outside the island criticized the new “colonial style” setting of Terminal 3 of the José Martí International Airport in Havana.

The images were shared on Facebook by a user identified as Charlie’s Blog, who disqualified the new decoration of the airport facility.

The Internet user assured last Monday that the new setting is inappropriate for a country like Cuba, with a long tradition of designers and architects, and that still graduates valuable professionals in these disciplines.

“How can those people who are so critical on this blog hope to improve their aesthetic taste if the few references they have are the mirror of their behavior? How to aspire to designers and architects being examples for these people if those who give orders carry out aberrations like the ones I am showing you today, nothing more and nothing less at the Havana International Airport?

According to the user, the use of artificial plants, waterproof stained glass windows, cardboard carpentry, plasticine tiles and disproportionate props recreate an atmosphere of terrible taste.

“It’s just that we don’t even copy well. I am ashamed to tell a visitor from abroad that I am an architect when upon arriving in my country the first image he has is this gloomy carnival of bad taste”, he added.

Although there have been no official pronouncements about the new setting of the airport, the reactions on social networks have not been long in coming.

“Actions like these demonstrate the relevance and necessity of the work of architects and designers. Even when we have to put up with bad taste and pathetic scenery that do nothing more than demonstrate the decadence of our entire environment,” said Cuban architect Maria Carla Ojeda Arisso.

“How awful! As if it were not enough to have covered the stereo blinds with false ceilings and to have put borders with flowers in the bathrooms! They are incredible!”, commented the architect and restorer Adriana Galup Martínez.

“They borrowed the backdrop of Cecilia Valdés’s set design,” Ariamna Alonso, from Havana, ironically commented in another comment.
