- Abstract
The work presented below is part of the results of a research project at "Universidad Politécnica de Madrid". In this paper we analyze the project for Murcia airport, which was done by Fernando Higueras under the guidance of Félix Candela. Some of the unpublished original documents of the project are included in the paper. The source of them are the Official Colleges of Architects of Madrid and Cataluña. In addition, the authors of the paper have done a 3D reconstruction that allowed to analyze the airport. The project is compounded by hyperbolic-paraboloid surfaces, such as those that Candela developed during the 50s. If it had been built, it would have become the largest cantilever done by Felix Candela using the "umbrella" structure.
