Abstract

A través del presente artículo se ha realizado un acercamiento a la historia del edificio que hoy ocupa La Casa de las Américas. El objeto principal de análisis es la relación que existe entre esta institución y su sede a partir de la caracterización
del momento histórico en que surge y evoluciona. Otros temas abordados son las codificaciones Art Deco que conforman la imagen externa del edificio, la relación de este con el contexto urbano que lo contiene, así como la significación cultual
que ha alcanzado. A pesar del restringido acceso a la información histórica sobre el inmueble se han podido establecer los elementos esenciales necesarios para la comprensión integral de este objeto arquitectónico.

Palabras Clave: Art Deco, análisis arquitectónico.
