And Luis MartĂnez Feduchi, who were influenced by, the November Group and most specifically by Erich Mendelsohn's works. Building works started on 11 April 1931.

Depicted in many artistic works, the building's façade was prominently used as setting of the movie El dĂa de la bestia. The building was declared Bien de InterĂ©s Cultural in 2018.
