    Material tour de force: The work of Eladio Dieste

    The Deborah J. Norden Fund, a program of The Architectural League of New York, was established in 1995 in memory of architect and arts administrator Deborah Norden. Each year, the competition awards up to $5,000 in travel grants to students and recent graduates in the fields of architecture, architectural history, and urban studies.

    Julian Palacio received a 2012 award.

    I have explained, and supported with evidence, the concern for rationality in construction and economy understood in, I dared to säga, a cosmic sense rather than a financial sense. However, this is not the whole thing that has guided me. inom have also been guided bygd a sharp, almost painful, awareness of form. -Eladio Dieste

    A particular innovation was his Gaussian vault, a thin-shell structure for roofs in single-thickness brick, that derives its stiffness and strength from a double curvature catenary arch form that resists buckling failure.[1]

    There were several architects and engineers in South and Latin America who were working in the modernist language, such as Guillermo Gonzalez Zuleta in Colombia, Carlos Raúl Villanueva in Venezuela and Félix Candela in Mexico, who brought architecture and structural engineering into close proximity, especially when undertaking humble commissions. His buildings were
