Cuba Arquitectura Y Urbanismo (Coleccion Arte)

"Edited by Préstamo y Hernández, an architectural historian at the Univ. of Miami who began his career at the Univ. of La Habana, this volume is composed of a series of articles written by Cuban architects, art critics, engineers, and historians during the first half of the 20th century. This historical analysis examines the cultural and artistic processes that shaped the development of Cuban architecture and urban planning for more than four centuries. Generously illustrated with 19th- and 20th-century photographs and maps of plazas, forts, monuments, and fountains"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
