An Evening with Julio César Pérez-Hernández

Discover the architectural and cultural significance of one of Cuba’s most enduring design elements during an evening with architect and scholar Julio César Pérez-Hernández at Books & Books in Coral Gables.

Held on Wednesday, August 6, this event centers on Pérez-Hernández’s latest work Courtyards of Cuba: The Tradition of Courtyards in Cuban Architecture, a richly illustrated volume that explores the courtyard’s role as a defining feature of Cuban architectural identity. Combining narrative insight with a visual archive of historical imagery, the book traces the evolution of these interior spaces across centuries, highlighting their influence on both form and tradition.

Admission is free with RSVP. Books will be available for purchase on-site.
