Omschrijving

This beautifully illustrated book documents the history, preservation, and present uses of Havana’s most important buildings and urban spaces.

"[A] fascinating portrait of a city across time."

"[T]he next best thing to being there that we’ll probably ever have….It’s rare that one gets to so colorfully visit a city without leaving the house."

"Awestruck visitors to Cuba’s gorgeous capital most often ask the question—who will protect these architectural treasures once the American embargo ends and the commercial onslaught begins? Havana Revisited: An Architectural Heritage provides the powerful answer that the greatest curators of Havana’s past will also be the most passionate champions of Havana’s future, the Cuban people themselves. This book reminds us how deeply Cubans are attached to their capital and how jealously they have protected its landmarks for five hundred years."

"Havana Revisited captures the architectural essence of a city where past and present comingle in mysterious ways. Juxtaposing images of old and new, accompanied by astute prose, this exquisite book bridges the expanse of time and does something extraordinary: it takes you on a journey to an era long ago while remaining rooted in the here and now. !Viva la habana!"

"Griffith’s images and the maps are extremely useful to students of Cuban architecture, and will be of great interest to general readers curious about the capital….those who are unable to visit can ‘see’ at least some of the city in this beautiful volume."

Cathryn Griffith, a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, lives in Boston, Massachusetts, where she develops and manages industrial real estate.
