Havana Modern examines Cuban modernism's highlights with a wealth of archival materials, photos and new scholarship. Edited by Rubén Gallo--author of Mexican Modernity (2005), Freud's Mexico (2010) and Proust's Latin Americans (2014)--the volume is arranged in 10 chapters authored by current and former Princeton faculty members and graduate students. These essays, which arose from seminars organized by Gallo and historian Beatriz Colomina, examine Max Abramovitz's American Embassy; Richard Neutra's De Schultess House; Martín Domínguez Esteban, Miguel Gastón and Emilio del Junco's Radiocentro; Mies van Der Rohe's office building for Ron Barcardí S.A.; Vittorio Garatti, Roberto Gottardi and Ricardo Porro's National Art Schools for Havana; Mario Girona's Coppelia Ice-cream parlor and park; Vittorio Garatti, Hugo D'Acosta and Sergio Baroni's Cuban Pavilion at Expo 67; Antonio Quintana and Alberto Rodriguez's "Edificio Experimental"; and Aleksandr Grigorievich Rochegov's USRR Embassy. Havana Modern draws on history, politics, culture, literature and film to elucidate this outstandingly rich era in architectural history"-- Publisher's description Architecture and history. 54082 Architecture 54081 Architecture -- 20th century. 196819 Architecture 54081 History Cuba Havana Architecture, Modern 54088 Architecture, Modern 20th century 196974 Buildings 66571 La Habana Cuba 122064 Buildings, structures, etc lcc 27 First edition NA804.H3 General H38 2023 302266 302266 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2024-04-23 Amazon 34.48 0 General NA804.H3 H38 2023 91000000072678 2024-04-29 16:05:44 1 44.48 2024-04-23 27
