The vibrant Cuban metropolis Havana is, yet in its state of decay, one
of the most beautiful cities in the world. A nineteen-fifties
pre-revolutionary boom still characterizes the city, alongside
picturesque colonial architecture: renowned international Modernist
architects, often working with artists, created fascinating
architectural ensembles at the time. Clarity, panache and color today
still bear witness to the pioneering spirit of those years. The
photographer Bodo Tuengler, has documented the most impressive buildings
of Havana's short Modernist period and unveils surprising new
perspectives of the "sleeping beauty".
