Here is the rewritten text in American English without foreign characters: This site model of Old Havana, Cuba, titled Columna de Agua, stands over 7 feet long after being printed for an astonishing 134 hours. Created by Andrew Reynolds, Nico Granci, Dave Olivetti, and Bobby Trapper during their Fourth Year Fall Semester in 2015, this architectural project is a masterpiece that showcases the team's exceptional skills. The site model is scaled at 1/64" = 1'-0", featuring over 200 buildings in Old Havana, including the iconic Capitol Building. To minimize plastic usage, the pieces were printed block by block on a desktop printer and then flipped upside down for assembly. Columna de Agua is an innovative project that transforms porous voids throughout Havana by removing selected derelict buildings and inserting civic spaces. A series of rills connects these 'voids', creating a unique and functional urban landscape.
