Abstract
Torroja excelled as a designer, as a docent, as a code-maker and as a founder of technical associations. Nothing was conceded to improvisation. Every outcome of his thought was the mature fruit of deep reflections; of precise knowledge of the problem's formulation and its boundary conditions. Moreover, he did not stop thinking till he found not only one, but different possible alternatives.
