Honourable Mention

Kristina Rodrihes Homes

Design Title

Latin American museum "Latin life. Pirate soul"

Kristina Rodrihes is an architecture student and practicing architectural designer based in Kyiv, Ukraine, currently combining her academic studies with professional work to gain practical experience at an early stage in her career. Since the beginning of her education, she has actively participated in architectural events and workshops, with her competition journey beginning at the Xperience Earth Design Competition.

In architecture, she is less interested in formal aesthetics or visualization and more focused on the interaction between space and people — their reactions, perceptions, and the way space responds to human presence. Through her projects, she explores the connection between historical narratives, urban memory, and contemporary ideologies and design tendencies. The choice of Cuba as the context for this project is deeply personal, as it represents her second homeland.
