Product Description

Product Description

Exquisite, rare photographs and timely, illuminating commentary reveal a rich architectural history waiting to be rediscovered as travel to Cuba burgeons among Canadian, European, and Latin American tourists and gradually becomes more accessible to visitors from the United States as well.



The lucid, intelligent text and superb photographs shot exclusively for this book present the architectural treasures of the entire island, from the first India bohíos, early colonial structures, and Mudéjar craftsmanship to baroque churches, classically inspired civic buildings, ambitious modernist designs, and present-day preservation work. Now in this practical paperback edition, this unique reference source will be valued by architects, preservationists, historians, students, and armchair and actual travelers.

About the Author

Rachel Carley, the author of A Visual Dictionary of American Domestic Architecture, The Backyard Book, and a former member of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, lives in New York. Andrea Brizzi, who has photographed in more than fifty countries, is based in New York.

This review is from: Cuba: 400 Years of Architectural Heritage (Paperback)
Lots of beautiful photography (by Andrea Brizzi) for anyone who dreams of Cuba and would like to feel the cobblestones of Old Havana underfoot, taste the mojitos in the lobby bar of the Hotel Nacional, hear the strains of the mariachi band at sunset, and learn about the history of our most enigmatic, so-close-yet-so-far neighbor through it's architecture and the very readable text by Rachel Carley.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, a work of art, Nov 1 1997
By Pedro Bilbao Gomez "pbilbao" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cuba: 400 Years of Architectural Heritage (Hardcover)
One of the best pictorial books on Cuba that has ever been published. It's the realization of profesionals and very objective, a very difficult achievement considering Cuba. Highly recommended to those willing to discover the real Cuba.
