Escola Industrial, Engineering school in La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample, Barcelona, Spain.
The Escola Industrial features a complex of buildings constructed with brick and stone, incorporating vaulted ceilings and traditional architectural elements throughout its structure.
Rafael Guastavino designed this educational institution in 1868, introducing innovative construction techniques that later influenced numerous buildings across the United States.
The building represents both Noucentisme and eclectic architecture styles, serving as an example of Catalonian industrial architecture from the nineteenth century.
Located near Hospital Clinic metro station on line 5, the Escola Industrial maintains its function as an engineering education center under Barcelona Provincial Council.
Albert Einstein visited the institution on February 28, 1923, during his stay in Barcelona, where local authorities presented him with records of Catalan folk music.
