View over La Habana-Vedado from Edificio Giron. See notes and PiP's for more informations.

Parts of the staircase are badly damaged, as the PiP's show.

One of the futuristic tubular walkways that join the two towers like neural fibres. The view from the slots to the sea and to the city is awesome. Click on the keyword 'Giron' for more images.

Edificio Girón is a seafront apartment building, located in the Vedado district. 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. I posted some photos from outside years ago, but this time we explored the building and the views from up there. See the following small series. For some details about Havana architecture read this, Edificio Girón is also described here. www.thebohemianblog.com/2016/05/climbing-all-over-the-massive-modernist-architecture-of-cuba.html
