In the 20th century, modern architecture thrived in Cuba and a
wealth of buildings was realized prior to the revolution 1959 and
in its wake. The designs comprise luxurious nightclubs and stylish
hotels, sports facilities, elegant private homes and apartment
complexes. Drawing on the vernacular, their architects defined a
way to be modern and Cuban at the same time - creating an
architecture oscillating between tradition and avantgarde.
Audacious concrete shells, curving ramps, elegant brises-soleils
and a fluidity of interior and exterior spaces are characteristic
of an airy, often colorful architecture well-suited to life in the
tropics. New photographs and drawings were specially prepared for
this publication. A biographical survey portraits the 40 most
important Cuban architects of the era.
