La Pagoda, officially known as Laboratorios Jorba, was a building in Madrid designed by Spanish architect Miguel Fisac. It was located near the Avenida de América and served as the headquarters of Laboratorios Jorba, a pharmaceutical company.Miguel Fisac, (1969), Laboratorios Jorba, Nueva forma : arquitectura, urbanismo, diseño, ambiente, arte, ISSN 0029-5825, Nº 41, 1969 , pág. 58 The popular name of the building refers to the visible structure's resemblance to a pagoda, with each floor rotated 45º from the lower one and joined with a hyperboloid ruled surface.Diego Peris Sánchez, 2015, Miguel Fisac: Arquitecturas para la investigación y la industria, Madrid, Bubok.
