Santiago Huerta retired this year as a professor at the Madrid School of Architecture after more than thirty-five years dedicated to teaching and research. His thesis, presented in 1990, focused on one aspect of the History of Construction: traditional masonry construction, and this has been his main field of research ever since.
But he did more than just research. Since joining the school as a professor, he has not limited himself to teaching the required subjects but has also launched a new course on the History of Construction. He was also involved in the management and promotion of the Programa de Doctorado en Estructuras de la Edificación, which remains active after its accreditation was renewed, and participated in the creation of the Máster Universitario en Estructuras de Edificación, which is now in its eighteenth year and has enrolled more than five hundred students.
