Architectural context

About Ricardo Bofill

Ricardo Bofill (1939–2022) founded the Taller de Arquitectura in Barcelona in 1963 — a multidisciplinary studio that produced some of the most visually striking housing projects of the late 20th century. The catalogue holds 4 of his works in Spain and France.

La Muralla Roja (1973) in Calp is a labyrinthine residential complex in vivid reds and blues that reinterprets the North African casbah. Walden 7 (1975) in Sant Just Desvern stacks apartments around a series of interconnected interior courtyards — a Brutalist cliff dwelling. Les Espaces d'Abraxas (1983) in Noisy-le-Grand casts Postmodernist housing in the form of a classical theatre, with monumental columns and arches at the scale of a Roman arena. La Fabrica, the Taller's own headquarters, is a former cement factory converted into a working studio and residence — concrete silos transformed into living spaces.
