Over the course of the past 40 years Cuba's distinct political,
ideological and cultural climate has produced a narrative of the
built environment unique within the history of modern architecture.
Fuelled by political optimism and the promise of social reform, the
new Cuban government after 1959, led by Fidel Castro, launched an
ambitious national building program as part of a national effort to
reapportion wealth across a traditionally stratified society. These
projects focused on the construction of social housing, educational
facilities and public works that would translate the Revolutionary
mission into the built environment, many of them built by a younger
generation of architects whose experimentation with forms and
materials extended the tradition of modernism beyond the
pre-Revolutionary domain of private development and single-family
houses. Written by Havana-based architect and historian Eduardo
Luis Rodrguez, and the subject of a major exhibition at the
Storefront for Art and Architecture, Architecture and Revolution
introduces a body of work virtually unknown outside of Cuba,
documenting the breadth and innovation of architectural projects
built by the Cuban government between 1959 and 1969.
