Abstract
The National Schools of Arts are a paradigmatic architectural ensemble from the known “Romantic Period” in the Architecture of the Cuban Revolution. This moment was characterized by the search of an appropriate architecture according to the circumstances of this country as Postcolonial State. The symbolism that Ricardo Porro granted to his buildings is remarkable, particularly in the case of School of Plastic Arts. This paper aims to interpret that building from a decolonial perspective and demonstrate its value as an alternative to the current architectural coloniality.
