It challenges the notion of a “great divide” between Republic and Revolution by tracing contentious interactions between technocrats, politicians, and financial elites on one hand, and mobilized, mostly-Afro-descended tenants and shantytown residents on the other hand. The dynamics of housing inequality in Havana not only reflected existing socio- racial hierarchies but also produced and reconfigured them in ways that have not been systematically researched.

  • Architecture and Preservation in Havana, Cuba a Trip Sponsored Utah Heritage Foundation April 3-9, 2016
    Architecture and Preservation in Havana, Cuba A Trip Sponsored Utah Heritage Foundation April 3-9, 2016 Utah Heritage Foundation is pleased to announce its first program in celebration of the organization’s 50th Anniversary in 2016 – Architecture and Preservation in Havana, Cuba. Cuba has often been referred to as a land lost in time. 1957 Chevys still cruise the streets and Havana neighborhoods display building representing over five centuries of rich heritage. The salt, humidity, and hurricanes have no doubt taken their toll on these architectural masterpieces, but time has made it more evident that the buildings are in need of serious repair. The Cuban government has been working diligently to rehabilitate these buildings, but it’s a massive undertaking that’s been made even more difficult due to the U.S. embargo. Historic preservation has become a key strategy and innovative tool for the revitalization and sustainable economic development of distressed urban neighborhoods of Havana and rural areas in Cuba. These examples provide models for the revitalization and sustainable development of urban and rural areas in other economically challenged areas of the world, including the United States. Friday, August 14, 2015 marked the grand reopening ceremony for the U.S. embassy in Havana. Progress in normalizing relations with Cuba is quickly being made and changes to the landscape are inevitable. Although only ninety miles of ocean separate us from Havana, it sometimes feels like we are worlds apart. However, we can find commonality with the Cuban people through our desire to preserve our architectural legacy. What will the progress between Washington, D.C.

For questions about specific projects, please contact the Global Education Office. Name: Yasmina Mattison Sudan Year: S2018 Tutor: Armando Fernández and Lissette Solozarno Title: “Research on the Cuban System on Education and Prevention of Natural Disasters: Facing the Inevitable” Topic: Hurricane Education and Prevention in Cuba Medium: Essay and Photo series This past semester in Cuba I have studied the country’s singular defense system against hurricanes and other natural disasters. I have found a five-fold answer to my research question, why is Cuba the safest place in the world during hurricane while is located in the sure path of hurricanes and continues struggles meteorologically? 1. The Revolutionary government’s commitment to defense, 2. hydraulic development plans and infrastructure, 3. meteoritical accuracy, 4. educated and informed public and 5. dedicated sense of solidarity. During my investigation I traveled to coastal towns and areas effected by tropical storms: Cojimar, Guanabo, Santa Fe, Jaimanitas, Central and Old Havana. I also noted the level of consciousness and education surrounding tropical cyclones in less effected, higher elevated areas such as Vedado. I embarked on this work with two tutors well versed in two seemingly distinct forms: environment science and research, visual arts and photography, who advised and guided my research.

  • El Vedado / Havana (Cuba): Consequences of the Transformation Process Within a Former Upper-Class Residential Quarter
    2014 Vol. 68 · No. 3 · 209–217 EL VEDADO / HAVANA (CUBA): CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESS WITHIN A FORMER UPPER-CLASS RESIDENTIAL QUARTER GÜNTER MERTINS and ORESTES SARDIÑAS GÓMEZ With 4 figures Received 04. January 2014 · Accepted 28. July 2014 Summary: The investigation presented here pursued two targets. On the one hand, there is the documentation of the recent (2011) building condition and use of the buildings, supplemented by information about the building phases and the number of building storeys for the former classical upper-class district El Vedado in Havana/Cuba. It is considered one of the oldest (or even the oldest?) privately planned urban quarters in Latin America. On the other hand, there is the analysis of the transformation-reasons concerning the clearly different building conditions and the corresponding building uses. The article starts with brief sections about the development of El Vedado up to 1958 and its urban-geographical, historical and architectural position within the Latin American context. Zusammenfassung: Die hier vorgestellten Untersuchungen verfolgten zwei Ziele. Zum einen ist es die Dokumentation des rezenten (2011) Gebäudezustandes und der -nutzung, ergänzt durch Angaben zum Gebäudealter (nach Epochen) und der Stockwerkzahl für das ehemalige, klassische Oberschichtviertel El Vedado in Havanna/Kuba.
