Radiocentro CMQ Building, Media broadcasting complex in Vedado, Havana, Cuba
The Radiocentro CMQ Building is a 10-story structure of concrete and steel with geometric shapes standing at the corner of Calle L and La Rampa in Havana. It originally housed a large theater and multiple commercial spaces on its ground floor.
The building was completed in 1947 and marked a turning point in Havana's urban development by breaking height restrictions that had existed before. Its construction signaled a modernization of the city's architectural standards.
This building was once a vital hub where Cuban musicians recorded their work and shared their art with audiences across the island. It reflects how radio and cinema shaped the cultural life of the city.
The complex is located in the heart of Vedado and is easily accessible by public transportation. The building is visible from the street, but interior access is limited, so viewing it from outside is the best option.
The architect Martín Domínguez Esteban drew inspiration from New York's Rockefeller Center when designing this structure. It is considered one of Cuba's first multipurpose buildings and set the tone for future urban development.
