The Residencia de Estudiantes opened its doors on October 1,
1910, created by the Junta para Ampliación de Estudios e Investigaciones
Científicas (JAE) (Board for Advanced Studies and Scientific Research) and
inspired by the Institución Libre de Enseñanza (ILE) (Independent Educational
Institution). According to Julio Caro Baroja, the Residencia became “the first
cultural centre of Spain” during the interwar period. The Residencia is well
known as the “house” where Dalí, Lorca, and Buñuel lived and became friends,
and the place where Einstein, Curie, and Le Corbusier delivered lectures. The
success of the Residencia’s project was the result of its understanding of
education as a comprehensive and active process, one that encouraged dialogue
between the students and the intellectuals and artists who frequented the
institution; learning through personal experience; and contact with nature. The
unique atmosphere of the Residencia, the accomplishments of the people who were
connected with it, and, above all, its moral and intellectual project, made it
one of the main nuclei for the scientific, educational and social modernization
of the country between 1910 and 1936.
The Residencia de Estudiantes, was the first cultural center of Spain. During all of this first stage,its director was Alberto Jiménez Fraud, which made of her an open house to creating, thinking and interdisciplinary dialogue. Both the Board and the residence were the result of the innovative ideas of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza, founded in 1876 by Francisco Giner de los Ríos.
Distinctive features of the residence were to promote an ongoing dialogue between Sciences and arts and act as reception of the international avant-garde. This made the Residence a focus for the dissemination of modernity in Spain, and among the residents emerged many of the key figures of Spanish culture of the 20th century, as the poet Federico García Lorca, the painter Salvador Dali, filmmaker Luis Buñuel and scientist Severo Ochoa.
