completed in 1953, the u.s. embassy in havana was a defining project of midcentury american modernism

for the first time in over a half-century, the united states reopened its official diplomatic embassy in Havana, shining an international spotlight on harrison and abramovitz's modernist shoreline classic. historically maligned by many cubans as an embodiment of american arrogance and imperialism, the building has played a pronounced symbolic role in the escalation – and now the easement – of political animosities between the two countries
