The Student Center at the University of Puerto Rico in Rio Piedras by architect Henry Klumb (1905-1984) is considered “one of the most important examples of tropical modernism in the Caribbean.” The building’s conception as a free flowing space with minimal structure constituted a breakthrough in Puerto Rican, Caribbean and Latin American architecture.
