RESUMEN La presente investigación tiene como objetivo el estudio de la formación de una concepción de restauración en La Habana, Cuba, entre 1920 hasta 1950, a partir del análisis de la labor de los arquitectos cubanos Félix Cabarrocas (1887- 1961) y Evelio Govantes (1886-1981). Estos trabajos constituyeron una referencia notable al ser las primeras labores de su tipo en Cuba, promover la conservación de importantes edificios coloniales del Centro Histórico de La Habana e impulsar la creación de las primeras instituciones y leyes patrimoniales. El presente estudio evaluó también el contexto cultural en el que se desenvolvieron las intervenciones realizadas, así como la formación, las referencias y el pensamiento de otros arquitectos del período en materia de restauración. Además, el análisis detallado dichos trabajos permitió identificar algunos de los principales preceptos de restauración empleados: un punto de partida para reconocer el criterio de restauración que primaba en Cuba en la época. Palabras claves: Evelio Govantes. Félix Cabarrocas. Patrimonio. Restauración. Habana. ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is the formation of a conception of restoration in Havana, Cuba, between 1920 and 1950, based on the analysis of the work of Cuban architects Félix Cabarrocas (1887-1961) and Evelio Govantes (1886-1981). Their work is a notable reference since its execution was the first of its kind in Cuba, allowing the conservation of important colonial buildings in the Historic Center of Havana, as well as promoting the formation of a conception of restoration and the creation of the first laws and institutions for the preservation of the national heritage. The present study also evaluated the cultural context in which these interventions took place, as well as the instruction, references, and principles of the architects of the period regarding restoration. Also, the examination of these works allowed us to identify some of the main precepts of restoration used: a starting point to recognize the principles related to restoration that prevailed in Cuba at the time.

Su esplendor colonial puede palparse en La Habana Vieja, una visita totalmente inexcusable. Este barrio, Patrimonio de la Humanidad, es uno de los conjuntos urbanísticos mejor conservados de América y del mundo, dominado por plazas y fortalezas. Lo mejor es comenzar el recorrido en la plaza de Armas. Rodeándola, se encuentran los palacios de los Capitanes Generales (convertido en Museo de la Ciudad) y del Segundo Cabo, el Castillo de la Real Fuerza (actual Museo de Armas), el Templete y el Palacio de los Condes de Santovenia (convertido en hotel). El otro gran conjunto es la plaza de la Catedral, donde, aparte del templo, se encuentra el Palacio de los Marqueses de Aguas y las casas de Lombillo, del Marqués de Arcos y de Chacón.

  • Dance & Theater 28 Literature 29 Painting 31 Cinema & Television 32
    © Lonely Planet Publications Arts Dance & Theater 28 Literature 29 Painting 31 Cinema & Television 32 Arts Far from dampening Habana’s artistic heritage, the Cuban revolution actually strengthened it, ridding the city of insipid foreign commercial influences and putting in their place a vital network of art schools, museums, theater groups and writers unions. Indeed, Cuba is one of the few countries in the world where mass global culture has yet to penetrate and where being ‘famous’ is usually more to do with genuine talent than good looks, luck or the right agent. Despite the all-pervading influence of the Cuban government in the country’s vibrant cultural life, Habana’s art world remains surprisingly experimental and varied. Thanks to generous state subsidies over the past 50 years, traditional cultural genres such as Afro- Cuban dance and contemporary ballet have been enthusiastically revisited and revalued, resulting in the international success of leading Cuban dance troupes such as the Habana- based Conjunto Folklórico Nacional (p139 ) and the Ballet Nacional de Cuba. Much of Cuba’s best art is exhibited in apolitical genres such as pop art and opera, while more cutting-edge issues can be found in movies such as Fresa y Chocolate, a film that boldly questioned social mores and pushed homosexuality onto the public agenda. DANCE & THEATER Described by aficionados as ‘a vertical representation of a horizontal act,’ Cuban dancing is famous for its libidinous rhythms and sensuous moves. It comes as no surprise to discover that the country has produced some of the world’s most exciting dancers. With an innate musical rhythm at birth and the ability to replicate perfect salsa steps by the age of two or three, Cubans are natural performers who approach dance with a complete lack of self- consciousness – something that leaves most visitors from Europe or North America feeling as if they’ve got two left feet.
