Miguel Fisac ​​Serna (Ciudad Real, 1913 · Madrid, 2006) traveled to Madrid in 1930 to study at the Higher Technical School of Architecture, graduating in 1942 and receiving the End-of-Degree Prize from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. After an initial period in which the Church of the Holy Spirit was key due to its revision of classicism, his line of thought underwent profound transformations following his 1949 trip to the Nordic countries, where he was fascinated by the work of Erik Gunnar Asplund.

After developing his first patent - the lightweight brick for exterior walls, which he uses at the Cajal and Ferrán Biological Research Center of the CSIC - he received in 1954 the Medalla de Oro at the Sacred Art Exhibition in Vienna by the Church of Arcas Reales of Valladolid. From then on, his work began to be more widely disseminated abroad.

In 1955, he toured several countries, including the United States, where he took a particular interest in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe. During this period, his style underwent a transformation, resulting in buildings characterized by greater eclecticism, such as the Hydrographic Studies Center (1960), the Santa Ana Parish Complex (1965), and the Jorba Laboratories (1965). In 1966, he was commissioned to design the Electronic Computing Center for IBM on the Paseo de la Castellana in Madrid, and in 1970, he designed and built the MUPAG Rehabilitation Center, where he developed his new patent for flexible formwork.

A regular participant in symposia, he is also the author of books such as The Urban Molecule, published in 1969 and in which he expresses his reflections on Urban Planning; Letter to my nephews, in artisanal edition; My aesthetic is my ethics., published by the Ciudad Real Museum in 1982, or Traditional architecture of La Mancha, edited in 1985.

In recognition of his professional career, his work has been the subject of several retrospectives, such as the one organized by the Munich School of Architecture in 1993 and the one held in the exhibition hall of the Ministry of Public Works a year later. Among other accolades, he has been awarded the Medalla de Oro of Architecture, awarded by the Higher Council of Colleges of Architects of Spain in 1994; the Antonio Camuñas Architecture Prize, in 1997, and the National Architecture Prize, which was awarded to him in 2003.

Miguel Fisac ​​died in 2006 at his home in Cerro del Aire, Madrid.
