Description
Constitutional Modernism explores how architecture shapes civil society in Cuba from 1933 to 1959. By examining the relationships between architects, planners, and intellectuals, Timothy Hyde reveals how constitutional principles were applied through architectural practices.
The book analyzes the entanglements of law, planning, and architecture as cultural forces that contributed to a stable civil society. It argues that constitutionalism was shaped by both legal and architectural principles, producing a unique confluence of law and architecture in Cuba's development.
