Description: Fisac&#226;&#128;&#153;s oeuvre has traditionally been defined in terms of its individualism, its non-association with any school or movement whatsoever. A deeper analysis of one of his best known lines of research, the hollow forms of prestressed concrete (his famous &#226;&#128;&#156;bones&#226;&#128;&#157;), reveals a host of engineers, practitioners and businessmen united around a common core of friendship and ingenuity whose work crystallized in an evolutionary process interesting in its own right.<br>This text is, therefore, a tribute not only to Miguel Fisac, but to all those who participated in this story, which lasted a mere ten years (the nineteen sixties): a story of risk, success and failure, where the architect often stood in solitude in the midst of a densely populated circle of engineers, quantity surveyors, contractors and inventors.<br><br>Tradicionalmente se ha destacado de Fisac su car&#225;cter individualista, no atado a escuela o movimiento alguno. Profundizando en una de sus l&#237;neas investigadoras m&#225;s conocidas como son las formas huecas de hormig&#243;n pretensado, sus famosos &#226;&#128;&#156;huesos&#226;&#128;&#157;, es inmediato encontrarse con una nube de t&#233;cnicos, pr&#225;cticos o empresarios unidos por un hilo com&#250;n de amistad e ingenio, cuyo trabajo conjunto cristaliz&#243; en un proceso evolutivo ya de por s&#237; interesante.<br>Es por ello extensible este texto homenaje no s&#243;lo a la figura de Miguel Fisac, sino a todos aquellos que en el corto periodo de una d&#233;cada (los a&#241;os sesenta) participaron de esta historia. Una historia de riesgos, de aciertos y de errores, donde la figura del arquitecto queda en muchas ocasiones aislada entre la densidad de ingenieros, aparejadores, constructores o inventores.
