The Engineering ProfessionThe event will feature presentations by the engineer himself and Miguel Aguiló (Doctor of Civil Engineering and Professor Emeritus at the UPM). Therefore, we would like to offer members the exclusive opportunity to pre-register for the event before Monday, November 7th at 14 PM, when registration will open to the general public.

Medalla de Oro del Círculo In 2010, Manterola, author of several essays, Professor at the Higher School of Engineers of Madrid and member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, has dedicated a good part of his time to promoting the need for an aesthetic and formal appreciation of engineering works, moving away from that outdated consideration of the engineer as a mere solver of technical problems.

His signature is on some of Spain's most important public works, such as the bridge over the Barrios de Luna Reservoir and the recently completed Cádiz Bay Bridge. In his role as an educator, he has shaped an entire generation of engineers who have received from him not only exceptional technical training but also a fundamental humanistic and aesthetic vision.

In this presentation, Manterola reflects on the engineer's role and its relationship to architecture and the environment, while reviewing the major milestones of his professional career and explaining everything a layperson needs to know about bridges. His humility, simplicity, and sense of humor make this a highly appealing book not only for students and professionals in the field, but for anyone who wonders about the role of engineering in the changes we observe in the landscape.
