Summary:
In the decades after World War II, from just prior to the revolution and into the mid-1980s, modernist architecture blossomed in Cuba, attracting both native talent and leading international architects from Europe. 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.

Il est enfin admis ouvertement que Le Corbusier était un fasciste bon teint. On tolère ses mensonges et sa mégalomanie. On sourit en le voyant mépriser ses (riches) clients. Un observateur impartial découvrira vite qu’il n’a rien inventé, gommant les auteurs dont il s’est attribué les idées.

Un observateur impartial découvrira vite qu’il n’a rien inventé, gommant les auteurs dont il s’est attribué les idées. La seule réelle compétence de Le Corbusier fut la promotion de son image publique au détriment de la qualité de son œuvre construite – catastrophique. Mais de tout cela on ne tire aucune conséquence, la plupart des critiques refusant de voir le monde cauchemardesque qu’il voulait édifier. Ce qui n’aurait aucune importance si Le Corbusier n’était devenu le modèle pour les architectes de l’après-guerre qui ont couvert la France de barres et tours en béton. Et si, aujourd’hui, ses théories ne faisaient les affaires des bureaucrates de Chine et de Russie.
