Even though the buildings may be dilapidated to the point of near-collapse, some folks in Havana, Cuba, still choose to live in them.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The buildings are dilapidated almost to the point of collapse, in fact, about three of them crash to the ground each day.<\/p>\n

Yet people, entire families even, live inside, ignoring the crumbling danger around them\u2014or at least taking the risk that it won\u2019t fall down on them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are buildings that are basically demolition by neglect,\u201d says Dana Moody, director of the Interior Design Graduate Program. \u201cThey\u2019re falling apart, but people are living in them. Things that we would condemn in a heartbeat. The bottom floor might be in crumbles, but they can\u2019t get the people out and that\u2019s because there\u2019s nowhere else to put them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Such is life in Havana, Cuba.<\/p>\n

Moody recently returned from a four-week stay in Havana as part of a residency program offered by UnPack Studio, which brings artists from visual, literary, music and dance, among others, to work with Cuban artists, find inspiration in the country or do research on various forms of art unique to Cuban culture. Moody was documenting the architecture of Cuba through photographs\u2014about 3,000 of them, she says.<\/p>\n

But along with the architecture, she came face-to-face with the reality of Cuba.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first day in the city I was extremely overwhelmed by it, thousands and thousands of buildings that are in full decay,\u201d she recalls. \u201cIf a building collapses, they either prop it up and go live in it or they go rob it of all its materials, so they can fix what\u2019s wrong in their own house.<\/p>\n

About 90 percent of the buildings she saw were decaying, she says, and about 50 percent of those were \u201cin dangerous instability,\u201d yet about one-quarter of those have people living in them.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Trade Embargo on Cuba has caused problems in restoring the buildings. First imposed on arms sales in 1958, then expanded to include almost all imports to Cuba in 1962. Travel restrictions were eased by President Barack Obama, but the financial sanctions still stand. Because of that, supplies of all kinds are scarce in the country, Moody says, and that includes building supplies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re dealing with a lack of materials, a lack of resources, and they are extremely creative in finding new techniques and new methods,\u201d she says. \u201cThings we think of as simple, like stringing up a chandelier, they don\u2019t have the wire. It\u2019s the minute things that we can go to a hardware store and get.\u201d<\/p>\n

As an example, she pointed to the limestone dome of the Cuban capitol building is being restored. But limestone is almost impossible to find in Cuba, \u201cso they\u2019re taking the original pieces out, they\u2019re crushing them down to powder then they\u2019re making a cement mixture and they\u2019re casting it to make it look like the original.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, with a lack of supplies a near-daily problem, none of the renovation work is \u201cin a hurry,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was looking at a building that was being worked on and the first day I got there are all these workmen,\u201d she recalls. \u201cThen, all of a sudden, there\u2019s no one there. The reason is they ran out of supplies and it may be two or three months before they get a new set of supplies. That\u2019s just the way it is everywhere, so they don\u2019t know any different.\u201d<\/p>\n

During her visit, she also was taken by the generosity and friendliness of the Cuban people. Yes, they realize they\u2019re living in desperate straits\u2014\u201cThe average person in Cuba makes about $20 a month,\u201d Moody says\u2014but they hold tightly to their heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though what they have is not good, they\u2019re still proud of it,\u201d she says. \u201cThey may not agree with everything the government is doing, but they are proud to be Cuban.\u201d<\/p>\n

When she was out on the streets, photographing buildings and doing her research, she often ran into Cubans either living in the buildings or restoring them, she says. If she asked to go inside the building or to discuss its condition, she was greeted with warmth and cooperation, she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you meet them, they\u2019re so friendly,\u201d she says. \u201cNo one turned me away. Everyone was totally open.\u201d<\/p>\n
