The fifties were important in Spain for the creation of a modern architecture. The architects, who began working in previous years, created his artistic languages inspired in modern styles. Miguel Fisac was one of the most popular Spanish architects in the second half of the twentieth century. In 1954 he received a request from the Dominican Order to design a theological centre for the youngest members. In view of the particular circumstances surrounding this case, the architect had many preparatory documents (sketches, memories, plans ...) and currently housed in the Miguel Fisac’s documentary archives and Foundation. Everything was done following Fisac’s drawings. In February 1958, Fisac carried out some furniture projects for the building while directing its construction. He wrote some documents where he explicitly detailed the place of each piece of furniture in each space.
