Spanish historical drama based on the life of 16th century
playright Lope de Vega. Returning to Madrid from the war, an
eagerly ambitious Lope (Alberto Ammann) is forced to take a job as
a copyist while he dreams of finding fame and fortune. He soon
falls for his employer's seductive daughter, Elena (Pilar López de
Ayala), little realising that she is in fact already married. When
she refuses to end her marriage for a future with the struggling
writer, Lope causes a scandal by publicising their affair. Now
accused of slander, Lope goes on the run, where he soon finds help
in the form of his childhood friend, the beautiful Isabel (Leonor
Watling).
The Masters of Concrete Shells Concrete shell construction started
to become popular in the mid-20th century. Technically advanced
designs with conspicuous expressiveness began to appear all over
the world. With three typical protagonists - Felix Candela
(1910-1997), Heinz Isler (1926-2009), and Ulrich Muther (1934-2007)
- the book examines this construction method. Their work -
primarily in Mexico, Switzerland, and the former GDR - was carried
out under very different political, economic, social, and cultural
conditions. The authors analyze the buildings and projects against
the background of developments in architecture and engineering at
that time. The focus is on mutual influence, shared aspects and
differences in the design processes, the structural design, and the
execution. In addition, the book examines how the work was received
and today's application of the building method. Learning from Felix
Candela, Heinz Isler, and Ulrich Muther and their historic shell
construction buildings Unknown material from the drawing archives
