Telefónica Building
The Telefónica Building, in Spanish ''Edificio Telefónica'', is a skyscraper in Madrid, Spain. It is located in Gran Via 28.〔García Algarra, Javier (2012). ("De Gran Vía al Distrito C. El patrimonio arquitectónico de Telefónica" ). Doctoral dissertation, UNED, 2012. (In Spanish)〕
==History==
The Telefónica Building was designed by Ignacio de Cárdenas, who conceived it after a previous study of Lewis S. Weeks in Manhattan. Even though the building is of American inspiration,〔Garcia Algarra, Javier (2010). ("The American influence in Telefónica's public relations strategy during the 20's and 30's" ), IEEE HISTELCON 2010〕 Cárdenas touch can be felt in its churrigueresque exterior ornamentation, a nod to Madrid Baroque architecture.
Its construction started in 1926 and it was fully completed in March 1929, despite opening its doors officially on 1 January 1930. The workforce was composed of more than 1000 workers and the final cost added up to 32 million pesetas. It became one of the first skyscrapers in Europe. It also held the Madrid height record by surpassing the Palacio de la Prensa, which it maintained until it was overtaken in 1953 by the Edificio España.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher =elmundo.es )〕
During the Spanish Civil War it was used as an observatory by the Republican forces to watch the whereabouts of Francoist troops. This reason, and the fact of being the Office of Foreign Press, made it a target of bombings during the war. Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry sent their reports from inside the premises.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher =elpais.com )〕〔
