The legacy of Ildefonso Sánchez del Río Pisón (1898-1980) contains some of the most pioneer Spanish concrete shells. It’s a fact that the “Modern Architecture‘ s Thin Shells Adventure” had just start when he designed and built his first work in Spain (1924). In the international context prevailing in the twenties, the reinforced concrete was still evolving. The first Thin Concrete Shells was built by Dyckerhoff and Widman in Jena, Germany (1922-1925). Ildefonso Sánchez was looking for a system to design concrete shells in a simple way. Finally, he founded his own and innovate system based in a similar method to the ribbed Gothic Vault. He used his system to built a very different ribbed concrete shell, such as the Sport Hall of Oviedo, Spai...
