- Abstract
The five-year period 1953-1958 gave Havana a new urban image, part of which was a silhouette of residential towers in El Vedado that over time shaped an identifying and patrimonial profile of a strong modern imprint which, however, has not been studied enough. The work intends to characterize the diversity and singularity of these buildings in order to extract what lessons and successes this constructive development had beyond its speculative nature. The study of the location of the towers within the urban fabric and its relationship with the landscape of Vedado, marked this investigation, of a historical nature, which based its results on primary sources of information and field work. The results show an experience that deserves to be considered at present when inserting new tall buildings in an area of high singularity for Havana.
