The IASS

International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS), founded by Eduardo Torroja in 1959, is a non-profit organization. It has as its goal the achievement of further progress through an interchange of ideas among all those interested in lightweight structural systems such as lattice, tension, membrane, and shell structures, in particular architects, engineers, and builders.

Since its foundation the Association has developed and become an internationally renowned institution of high quality, attracting a great number of distinguished members. Regularly, Symposia, Colloquia and Conferences took place all over the world, and a number of Working Groups undertook all kinds of efforts concerning the design, analysis and construction of shells.

The Association publishes an international journal, the Journal of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures. It is currently published on line (ISSN 1996-9015), four times yearly. The Journal of the IASS, covers a wide range of theoretical and practical problems, as well as description of both small and important buildings.
