La Escuela Tecnica superior de arquitectura de Madrid en la ciudad universitaria (una nueva ciudad universitaria / usos universitarios en edificios antiguos)
The technical management of this plan was enstrusted to the architect Modesto Lopez Otero. After finisching his studies in Madrid (1910) he studied in Austria and Germany. In 1927 was created the "Junta Constructora" of "Ciudad Universitaria" and some of its members travelled to see universities in the USA, such as Yale, Harvard or Massachussets. Lopez Otero saw the necessity of a new "Ciudad Universitaria" in Madrid, looking throught other examples done before suche ad Rome, Athens or Oslo. The building of "Escuela Tecnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid" (ETSAM), forming part of the "Ciudad Universitaria", was designed by Pascual Bravo Sanfeliu, to represent modernity as it was clearly expressed in the plan. The structural design was entrusted to the engineer Eduardo Torroja Miret, pioneer expert of reinforced concrete in Spain. On it concept of ratioanlism, mixted with other power symbols we can see some analogies with other buildings in Sapienza University that we want to shaw.
