Antoni Bonet, as it is known, had worked and collaborated with Sert and Torres Clavé during his time at University, when he also joined the GATCPAC as a student partner. Whilst attending the 4th CIAM he met Le Corbusier. He finished his studies in 1936 and soon afterwards he moved to Paris to work in his office. In Paris he befriended some fellow Argentinian architects who influenced his decision to choose Buenos Aires as his destination of exile in 1938. The Plan for La Manga coincided with the return of Bonet to Spain in 1959 after his stay in Argentina and constituted the peak of his professional career.
