CRITICAL APPRAISAL:
"Máximo Gómez
Vocational School in Camagüey, designed by architect Reinaldo Togores
culminates this progressive architectonic maturing process. Based on the sum
and verification of anterior experiences regarding the use of previously
defined functional structures, the designer could concentrate in the working up
of details, in the constructive finishes, in the articulation of nodes, in the
subtle chromatic treatment."
Roberto Segre, La
Escuela en Forma, CUBA INTERNACIONAL magazine, August 1976.
"Architect Togores has
designed important buildings for Cuban school architecture . . . He has also
worked in the sphere of furniture and industrial design and as an associate
professor of Basic Design at the Faculty of Architecture, making important
contributions to its theoretical and experimental wealth, above all in fields
like planar or spatial tessellations and color."
ARQUITECTURA Y URBANISMO magazine, I.S.P.J.A.E., No. 1-2, 1983.
"A most elaborate conceptual
inquiry, tending to transcend the dialectics between standard and uniqueness,
between reticulate pattern and symbolic particularity appears in the
experiences due to Heriberto Duverger and Reinaldo Togores . . ."
"Togores has designed the "Máximo Gómez"
Vocational School (1976), defined as to its material support by the standard
school building system "Girón", but introducing a conception
that is specific to this school. Due to the concentration and the distribution
of its facilities, due to its architecture, there can be no doubt as to its
being, right now, the best in Cuba . . . Here it is evident not only the desire
to overcome the stereotyped reiteration of the constructive elements and the
design of details that single out the image of the school, but also the wish to
attain the identification of the social group with the building."
Roberto Segre, Arquitectura
y Urbanismo de la Revolución Cubana, editora PUEBLO Y EDUCACION, Havana,
1989.
