Constitutional Modernism
How does architecture make its appearance in civil society? Constitutional Modernism: Architecture and Civil Society in Cuba, 1933-1959 pursues this challenging question by exploring architecture, planning, and law as cultural forces. Analyzing the complex entanglements between these disciplines in the Cuban Republic, Timothy Hyde reveals how architects joined with other professionals and intellectuals in efforts to establish a stable civil society, from the promulgation of a new Cuban Constitution in 1940 up until the Cuban Revolution.
