Documentary collection of the Editorial de Construcción Arquitectónica
What is the Editorial de Construcción Arquitectónica? They are electronic publications based on technical documents. An "extraordinary" documentary collection in my opinion and deserving of its disclosure that was created in 1997 as a Teaching Innovation project, by professors of theArchitectural Construction Department, based in theSchool of Architecture of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. And especially to Professor Dr. Architect D. Manuel Martin Monroy creator of the Web and author of most of its content.
We can find documentation organized in thematic collections. Teaching and technical content such as; tutorials, manuals, monigraphs, tools … etc. Mainly intended for professionals in architecture and construction.
On the one hand we have a documentary collection and on the other a FTP download section that perfectly complements this important documentation repository.

The documentary collection of the Editorial de Construcción Arquitectónica is divided into:
- Atmosphere.
- Construction
- Urban facilities
- Lighting technology
- Master and postgraduate
- Normative
- Planning
- Drafting
- Technical services
- Hydraulic installations.
The FTP downloads at the publisher are divided into:
- Facilities2
- Atmosphere
- Structures
- Icarus
- Master
- Normative
It is worth mentioning the research project, promoted by the Environment Service of the Hon. City Hall of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, "ICARO Design Manuals for Environmental Quality in Buildings" and some of the Excel applications that accompany it. Likewise, it is worth highlighting the doctoral thesis of Professor Manuel Martín Monroy, with the Anteol software.
We believe that it is a unique opportunity to expand our knowledge for free and to complement it in our work as professionals. We remind you that we must act consistently with the information and maintain its origin or authors, since thanks to them we have the opportunity to access such valuable information.
