Abstract

This article aims to complete the history about the design and construction of the new headquarters of Torroja Institute. Interestingly, the importance of their gardens has not been deeply discussed, even if they are mentioned several times throughout the literature, there is no text or article that analyzes them. This research is part of a doctoral thesis The modern garden in Spain (1926-1980), that examines the various gardens and open spaces of the ITCC (paths, spatial organization, uses and relationship with the building and the environment). The study relies on plans and photographic archive of the building (construction, visits and events) where the garden is displayed as testimony to the life of this research center, without forgetting its relationship with national and foreign formal trends of the Twentieth Century and its great contribution to the time it was built, being a model for later examples.
