Luis Gutiérrez Soto (1900–1977) was a Spanish architect. He worked primarily in Madrid.
Born on 6 June 1900 in the Calle de Villanueva , [1] Madrid, Spain. After earning a degree in 1923, he became Chief Architect of the Ministry of Public Instruction, delivering a profuse number of projects of schools until 1929. [2] His first noted project was the Cine Callao (1926). [3]
Once a follower of the rationalist architectural style, he reinvented himself during the Francoist dictatorship (1939–1975), adapting to the traditionalist aesthetics promoted by the regime, and became a representative of the neo- herrerian francoist style. [4]
He died in Madrid on 4 February 1977. [5] He was buried in the Mingorrubio Cemetery in El Pardo. [6] With a period of activity spanning along six decades, he delivered over 650 projects, most of them in Madrid. [3]
