On April 6, 2025, the opening of the exhibition The Text Space, curated by the Cuban studio Infraestudio, takes place, featuring an artwork by Stefano Boeri.
The exhibition, set in the evocative setting of the former Presidio Modelo prison on Isla de la Juventud, Cuba, brings together 40 works by architects who, using only text—without any accompanying images—describe their vision of space.
Stefano Boeri’s contribution, dedicated to the vertical forest typology, which treats living nature as a fundamental element of architectural design, reads:
“The experience of looking at the city from above, filtered by the leaves and the branches of trees and shrubs whose roots are one hundred meters in height.”
