Abstract
June 15 of this year 2021 marks the 60th anniversary of the death of Eduardo Torroja. Without a doubt, one of the best tributes to this distinguished Spanish engineer, who founded the International Association for Shell Structures in 1959, is to remind him precisely in the pages of
the Journal of this international association. Not in vain, the IASS was born in his hands. Nowadays, thanks to the relevant work of everyone who has taken care of it since then, the IASS continues to actively lead the international vanguard of space structures. The Eduardo Torroja Foundation,
created in 2004 to ensure and disseminate his extensive and multifaceted legacy, inaugurated in 2016 the Eduardo Torroja Museum, which is in the Zarzuela Racecourse in Madrid, one of his most iconic works. Since then, man, his history and his legacy coexist and are sheltered under the same
cantilevered shell roof that continues to admire the world, as does the entire legacy of Eduardo Torroja. Due to international demand, the Eduardo Torroja Museum catalog book has already been translated from Spanish into 7 languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese,
and Russian.
