Archivo Eduardo Torroja. La Sede del itcc (1949-1953) Inéditos anteproyectos previos a su construcción

Abstract

The content of the present article constitutes the missing link in the history published in Informes de la Construcción on the design and construction of the Institute's new headquarters, the most innovative habitat for research ever built by the modern movement. Its publication completes and concludes that record, while highlighting the message that Eduardo Torroja intended to transmit when he grouped the articles that narrated its history under a common title: El Instituto es así (Making the Institute what it is), very likely because for many years (1949-1953) he contended that it could not have been "made"otherwise. A Ministry of Science and Innovation I+D+i project (ref.: HUM2007-65543) entitled: El fondo documental generado por Eduardo Torroja en el IETcc como memoria histórica en el proceso de transferencia tecnológica en Ciencias de la Construcción (History of the body of documents generated by Eduardo Torroja in the IETcc with a view to construction science technology transfer).
