Alejandro de la Sota Martínez ( October 20 , 1913 - 14 February , 1996 ) was a Spanish Architect . He was born in Pontevedra in Galicia . He graduated from the university in Madrid in 1941 and, from 1956 to 1972 was a professor there. From his graduation, Sota lived in Madrid, although maintained links with his native Galicia. He was a promoter of industrialisation of construction in the 1960s ; his Maravillas gymnasium of 1961 was the first steel framed building in Madrid. The buildings of Sota combine geometric rigor with constructive sincerity and a structural boldness of form that still surprises today. Sota received the National Prize of Architecture and the Gold medal of the Council of Architects. WORKS
