ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Emilio Pérez Piñero, who died in a car accident in 1972, was able to create more different structural inventions along ten y ears of intense activity than any other structural designer in Spain. His activity in deployable, modular and space structures in general, was m aterialized in patents, models and full scale constructions that we are going to describe along the text. He was adm ired by the m ost important structural designers and artists as Fuller, Candela, Dalí and m any others who collaborated with hi m in some cases. Nevertheless this talent has been mispriced and ignored even in our academic classes. It is time to recover now the m emory of someone who merits being the main consideration as inventor, designer and international architect.
