Baluarte Boricua: A Totem
Synopsis:
In homage to the words of Pedro Albizu Campos, “Wherever there is a Puerto Rican with their own land, there will be a bulwark of resistance against the invasion," the Baluarte Borica emerges. This structure represents a hybrid of totem, living space, and lighthouse, composed of significant Puerto Rican symbols. It stands as a testament to the defense of our identity by demonstrating how the integration of our iconic objects and modes of living evolves over time while still preserving the Puerto Rican consciousness embodied within the architectural envelope.
