Note 400 — CHAPTER 18 MODERN ARCHITECTS OF THE FIRST GENERATION IN FRANCE: AUGUSTE PERRET AND TONY GARNIER
Reading edition
In the last few years the innovations of such engineers as Pierluigi Nervi (b. 1891) in Italy, Eduardo Torroja (1899-1961) in Spain, and Felix Candela (b. 1910) in Mexico have revolutionized earlier conceptions of the possibilities of ferro-concrete (see Chapter 25). For Torroja, see The Structures of Eduardo Torroja, New York [1960], and Torroja, E., The Philosophy of Structures, Berkeley, 1958. (See Epilogue.)
