José María Aguirre Gonzalo (12 August 1897 – 7 April 1988) was a Basque civil engineer, businessman and banker. He played a leading role in the development of the Spanish economy during the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco that followed the Spanish Civil War (1936–39). ==Early years (1897–1927)== José María Aguirre Gonzalo was born in San Sebastián on 12 August 1897. He studied Civil Engineering at the Escuela Técnica Superior (Higher Technical School) in Madrid. He graduated in 1921. He would later teach accounting and business organization at this school. He then took some courses in Law. He began work with the Otamendi brothers on the Madrid Metro, which by 1919 had opened almost between the Sol and Cuatro Caminos stations. ==Pre-war years (1927–39)== In 1927 Aguirre and his friend Alejandro San Román founded the Agromán construction company. Aguirre was chairman, managing director and then honorary chairman of this company. In its early years Agromán obtained major contracts in public works and buildings, and was involved in some important projects in the 1930s including the Ciudad Universitaria de Madrid (University City of Madrid|) and the Castellana rail link. In 1934 Manuel Sánchez Arcas (1897–1970) and Eduardo Torroja (1899–1961) founded the ''Instituto Técnico de la Construcción y Edificación'' (ITCE, Technical Institute of Construction and Building). Other founding members were Aguirre Gonzalo, the architect Modesto López Otero (1885–1962) and the engineer Alfonso Peña Boeug (1888–1966). The ITCE was a non-profit organization dedicated to developing and applying technical innovations in engineering civil structures.
