Abstract:
The works included in this book paint a detailed picture of the beginnings of research in Building Science in Spain and, by extension, of the origins of this area of scient zfic and technical research. They are based on an analysis of primary sources, including documents of the Historical Archive of the Eduardo Torroja Institute of Building Sciences, and secondary sources, such as the annual reports of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). The time span under study extends from the founding of the Technical Institute of Building and Construction (ITCE) in 1934 through to the late sixties when, as a CSIC institute, it set out on a new course with Professor Torroja as director. The book as a whole gives a glimpse of how Torroja perceived the role of a research centre: generating knowledge in contact the relevant economic sectors and disseminating it through teaching and publications.
