Abstract

This paper summarizes the research by which has been able to prove that engineer Eduardo Torroja authored one of the industrial halls of the old complex Boetticher & Navarro in Villaverde, Madrid. Originally it was used as mechanical workshops. The hall is close to the today famous “nave Catedral”, restored in recent years as New Technologies Centre of the Madrid Council. The interest of this hall no only lies in the authorship but also in its structural solution, innovative in Spain in the years in which was designed and built (1940-1942). The structural system is described and compared with other similar structures built later. Fortunately, the structure is still standing, but with a different purpose than the original and belonging to another company. The original plans of the “true” Boetticher & Navarro Torroja hall are published here for the first time.
