Edificio Girón / 1

Edificio Girón is a seafront apartment building, located in the Vedado district where Calle F meets the Malecón. It was opened in 1967, the year that Che Guevara died, and a decade that saw Cuba settle from revolutionary fervour into a socialist republic. The Girón building was formed from two 17-storey blocks, fitted with elevators and with a series of tubular walkways that join the two hemispheres like neural fibres. It is also called the ‚Experimental Building‘, because the first time in Cuba a sliding formwork was used. Some call this kind of architecture 'brutalism' ;-) The years haven’t been kind to the Edificio Girón, nevertheless it's still fully inhabited. This photo was a quick shot out of a car, so I apologize for cutting the peak ;-) More images will follow.
