Aníbal González Álvarez-Ossorio (10 June 1876 in Seville – 31 May 1929 also in Seville) was a Spanish architect who made important buildings in Seville and Madrid. At the beginning of his career his style was Art Deco, but later evolved towards regionalism. He designed the Plaza de España and he was the chief architect of the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 in Seville.
González was born in Seville to José González Espejo and Catalina Álvarez-Ossorio y Pizarro.[1] He studied in La Escuela Superior de Arquitectura (Madrid Superior Technical School of Architecture) where he graduated in 1902.[1] Other architects in his class included Joaquín Rojí, Tomás Acha, Luchas Alday, Amós Salvador, Miguel G. de la Any, Jerónimo P. Mathet, Juan J. Gorruchaga, Luis López, Calixto Sancho, Demetrio Ribes, Francisco García Navas and Gregorio Rábago.[1] Two of his teachers were Ricardo Velázquez Bosco, an exponent of the Second Empire architectural style and one of the main eclecticist architects of Spain in the first third of the 20th century,[1] and Vicente Lamperez, a prominent restorer, architect and art historian and member of the Royal Academy of History.[1][2]
