##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
Based in a set of architectural works, representative of Cuba?s modern movement, the contributions in terms of interior design, of several architects who integrated their design work into their entire creative work will be examined.
Our intention is to approach the expertise and authenticity of Cuban designers who, in the implementation of both specific solutions for housing problems and different social purposes? buildings, created, as a result of the way they structured the interiors, atmospheres where cultural identity translated into everlasting comfort and formal distinction.
We will focus in formal guidelines based in the use of domestic materials and the interpretation of the application opportunities offered by in the international technological development of the 1950?s, as well as the synchronization with Cuban and foreign plastic art avant-garde, which gave the application of modern movement?s basic principles to interior management, a national character. The scope of this essay consists of every element which contributes to zoning and completing spaces, whatever is public, housing, furniture or otherwise.
