“…It is difficult to trace this type of construction, except in the case of representative buildings; Hernando Vargas Caicedo mentions, as an example of a large-scale staircase built with this technique, the case of the imperial stairs of the National Museum of Colombia in Bogotá, a building readapted in 1948 by Manuel de Vengoechea and Hernando Vargas Rubiano, also with the collaboration of Fernando Murtra. The connection of these Colombian buildings of the 1950s with later experiences, such as the vaults of Rogelio Salmona (House of Guests 1978, Casa Tenjo 1989, Casa Cota 1995 (Adell 2005) or Herbert Baresch (Casas La Floresta I andII 1982, Estación La Caro 1985 (Fig. 10)) (VVAA 2005) is complex.…”

“…He also used brick as the most predominant construction element in walls, floors, various kinds of vaults, pavement, stairs, etc. (Adell 2005). Less known, at least beyond Colombian borders, are the contributions of some architects and engineers, such as G. Zuleta and Jorge Gaitán Cortés, to reinforced-brick, shell architecture.…”

Reinforced-brick shell structures are mainly known through the extraordinary work of the Uruguayan engineer Eladio Dieste. However, other remarkable examples of shells in reinforced masonry were being built during Dieste's development of the technique or even before. The works by Guillermo González Zuleta in Colombia and Ildefonso Sánchez del Río in Spain deserve a closer look. Analysis of the three engineers' backgrounds, writings and work reveals different original conceptions of the technique. The conceptual approach to the reinforced brick material and the way they approached challenges and obstacles are very different in the three cases, yet they finally achieved similar structural solutions.This document presents a review of historical reinforced masonry architectural examples by these three master builders. The paper analyses their roles in the development of this technique and presents some of their most influential or striking architectural pieces.
