In the years that followed World War II, from just before the revolution and into the mid-1980s, modernist architecture flourished in Cuba, drawing both local talent and renowned international architects from Europe. Havana Modern delves into the highlights of Cuban modernism with a wealth of archival materials, photographs, 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 organized into 10 chapters authored by current and former Princeton faculty members and graduate students. These essays, which emerged 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 Juncos Radiocentro; Mies van der Rohe's office building for Ron Barcardí S.A.; Vittorio Garatti, Roberto Gottardi, and Ricardo Porros National Art Schools for Havana; Mario Gironas Coppelia Ice-cream parlor and park; Vittorio Garatti, Hugo DAcosta, and Sergio Baronis 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 exceptionally rich era in architectural history.
