Edificio Rockefeller, Research building in central Madrid, Spain.
The Edificio Rockefeller stands as a rationalist functionalist structure with Indiana limestone facade at the CSIC central campus in Madrid.
The Rockefeller Foundation provided funding for this building in 1932 to establish the National Institute of Physics and Chemistry in Spain.
The structure represents an intersection of Spanish academic architecture and American philanthropic investment in European scientific development during the 1930s.

Scientists Blas Cabrera, Miguel Catalán, and Enrique Moles established Spain's first physics and physical chemistry school in this building.
